Final Essay Thesis blog!

We were asked to write about what we may want our thesis to be for our final essay about heroes. We were also supposed to pick three examples of any contemporary text/media. The three examples I chose were Black Hawk down, Saving Private Ryan, and Dances With Wolves. I was wanting to Tie them all together by saying that in all of the movies, they all had a hero to America. In Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan it is about War heroes that helped fight for our country. In dances with Wolves it is that the main character made peace and friendship with the Indians which helped America when It was first being founded. I do not have a clear thesis statement for my essay though. I am trying to think of how I can tie all of what I said into a few sentences that sums up my essay.

Jesus as a hero in America

To many people in America today, Jesus is a hero.Why though, has he become so known as a hero. Is it because he died to save us from sin? or because of the many miraculous things he did to help the people he came in contact with? Many people just think of Jesus as a hero in ways is because they feel like they must because of what the Bible teaches he did for all of us. When we look at the definition of a hero, Jesus fits it to a tee. The definition to a hero through the eyes of Joseph Campbell is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. So why do we claim Jesus as a hero today in America instead of a man who came down to earth to do what he was called to do by his father? People look at Jesus as a hero probably has to do with they do not know the whole story and believe that Jesus came down to earth to die for us because he wanted to or because he felt like that that is what he needed to do. Jesus did not want to have the title of a hero with all of the fame and glory that a hero has. He simply came down to do do what he was called to do. People just say Jesus is a hero because he fits the definition of a hero. The teachings of a mother to a child may be that Jesus was a hero and leave it at that. That child will grow up and teach his or her children the same thing. This creates a sense that Jesus is a hero throughout many generations. This is why Jesus is titled as a hero in America today.

Going home

When I go home, I want to do some pretty cool stuff. I want to make a spud gun which will be freakin awesome and I really want to make a drift trike! If you do not know what a drift trike is, it is a bike that is transformed into a trike with pvc pipe wheels that let you go down hills and drift around turns at high speeds and is just a really cool idea. If I end up going back to my house before the semester is over, I will upload some pictures of it.

children

So im sitting here with my girlfriend Riina and this little boy who is here asked me to play his xbox. I said yes because i knew it would keep him happy and out of his moms hair. So the little boy saw that I had Halo reach! he was so happy and couldnt wait to play. He told me he plays halo at home so i figured his mom lets a seven year old kid play halo. So I said yes and got it out for him. His mom came in and he showed her and she said you cant play an R rated game! As soon as those words came out of her mouth, the little boy screamed and yelled and began crying uncontrollably. I was getting a headache at this point. It made me even more sick when she tried to talk with him and the boy was saying "I hate you and you are stupid and its just aliens mom" I thought, how could a kid even say things like that to her mom. little kids should just know already that what their mom says is probably always the best thing. I just think little kids have gotten so disrespectful over the years. What do yall think about this? let me know what you think about the little kids with respect now.
