unsolved mysteries

There are many unsolved mysteries in our world today. One of those mysteries is the loch ness monster. Many people have claimed to see the oddly shaped creature but it have never been proven that the monster is indeed real. Another unsolved mystery is that of the creature they call bigfoot. Many people have claimed to see bigfoot as well, and there have even been people that have dressed as the creature to create the illusion the bigfoot does exist. These are mysteries that have been unsolved for generations and will continue to be debated in the future.

Detectives

There are many examples of current detectives today on television and in the movies. One example of a detective is Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU. She is by far my favorite detective. She is just as bad ass as any other guy detective out there, and it is great to see a woman in that role on television in our world today. Another example of detectives, thinking outside of the box, is journalist. Every journalist, whether it be for TV or newspaper acts as a detective to get the scoop on the story. Whether they are covering news, sports, or weather, they must dig until they find the true story that they can publish or go live on-air with.

Knights today

I believe the equivalent of Knights today are people like firefighters and the police. They are the true heros of todays world. They are the ones who risk their lives every day to protect us, and save our lives on a daily basis. People like that are the TRUE heros today.

Becoming a hero

There are specific ways that people always become heros. One of them always seems to be rescuing, then ending up with the damsel in distress.  You usually see in movies that the hero, or the good guy, saves a woman from some kind of emotional or physical distress, then in the end of the movie ends up being with that woman. Another way someone becomes a hero is defeating the big villain that everyone says has no chance of being defeated. Usually the hero works up enough courage to fight the villain, then after a grueling battle ends up with the victory.

Dark Knight

The film modernizes the story of batman very well. With all of the high tech equipment in the movie, batman has come a very long way from the days of Michael Keaton as batman. For example, just look at the batmobile, and the weapons that batman and the joker use. In the 70's and 80's things like that would of be unheard of in the batman movies. Seeing those kind of things being incorporated into the movies makes them modern, and easily to relate to since those are the things we see in todays world.

Nobodies

In this post, I will explain two nobodies who became heroes. One of those "nobodies" was without a doubt Captain America. He was a soldier who was a true nobody. An everyday guy, who was as skinny as a bean pole and just wanted to fight for his country. He was told he only had one chance to do so, and it was to be a part of a new experiment. Making a long story short, the experiment turned him into the ultimate soldier, with unlimited strength and he became a great hero in the eyes of his country. Another hero from a nobody could be Captain Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow started as nobody sailor, and decided to take up the role of a pirate. As many could see him as a villain, many saw him as a hero. He got other sailors out of big time trouble by leading them on voyages and getting them a crew to use for their boat.

Inspiring Personal Heoes

Inspiring personal Heroes An important aspect of everyone's life are the people they look up to as heroes. These role models help mold each person as they become mature. I personally have many heroes who inspire me and motivate me to be a better person. Some of these personal heroes include: My Dad - Rich Froning (Crossfit Athlete) - My Close Friends - Anne Lamott (Author) - These are just a few examples of people who inspire me and motivate me to push myself to become a better person day in and day out. Whether I'm close to them or only know them through their words or actions, all of them play an important role in who I am today, and who I will be tomorrow.
