Archetype

In almost every work of fiction there is a heroic figure. There are lots of different characteristics that all of these figures share. In this essay I’m going to talk about each of these characteristics, and give examples of characters in fiction who possess these characteristics.

A lot of heroes have very serious personalities and are very much loners. This is sometimes because the hero has gone through some sort of traumatic event in their life which has caused them to become the hero, but also made them become very serious and want to be alone at all times. This sort of characteristic is usually changed throughout the course of a story as the hero meets new people and usually develops some sort of love interest. So, while they usually change their minds about people by the end of the story, this is a characteristic shared by many different heroes. A good example of this is the hero Batman, he is a very serious person, very dark and brooding, but he has a lot of different friends who help him and he even developed a love interest which caused him to lighten up a bit.

Strength is a very common trait with heroes. A hero is supposed to be a character that can take whatever comes to them. So, a lot of heroes are very physically strong, like Superman or Thor ( The Marvel version not the one from Norse mythology ) and they can take a hit and fight villains. Also there are a lot of mentally strong heroes, which means that they can keep fighting no matter what happens to them and they don’t break. A good example of a mentally strong hero is Luke Skywalker, who started his journey after his uncle and aunt were burned to death, he even had to see the their charred corpses, also he is mentally strong because he continued fighting even after he found out that Darth Vader was his father.

Heroes have to be very courageous, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do the things that a hero does. A hero has to be brave and be able to do the things that would terrify any normal person. If the hero isn’t courageous they wouldn’t be able to do the things that scare them in the story. An example of a very courageous hero would be Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings or another example is Indiana Jones.

So those are just some of the traits that many heroes possess in a lot of fiction. There are many other traits, but these are just some of the common ones with heroes today. In this essay I talked about multiple traits that a lot of heroes have.

The Top Five Best Videogames

Videogames are one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Unlike, books or movies, where the people watching are only able to view what is happening, videogames allow people to do more than watch and be part of the game. In this list, I am going to talk about which videogames I think are the best, based on how entertaining it is, the replay factor of the game. and just how popular it is in general.

5. Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Animal Crossing is a game about creating a town, a town that happens to be inhabited by a bunch of talking animals. In this game you come to this new town, and are appointed mayor, and from then on it's up to you to develop the town. As you play the game, new people will come to live in your town, and more shops will open. This game is really fun because it has a lot to offer and you can replay it a bunch of times and change the layout of your town or which people live in your village with you.

4. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - The Legend of Zelda is one of the greatest adventure game series ever, and Ocarina of Time is my favorite game out of the series. This Nintendo 64 game, which was also remastered for the Nintendo DS, is widely considered as one of Nintendos best games. In this game, you play as Link, who is a young boy living in a place called Kokiri Village. You set out on a journey throughout the land of Hyrule, trying to save it from the evil villain named Ganondorf.

3. Mario Maker - Mario Maker is just like any other Mario game, except in this one you can make your own levels or play levels made by other people from around the world. Some people make some levels that are too hard, but there are a lot of really cool levels too. The level creator is really fun and easy to use and you can share all your levels for other people to play.

2. Super Smash Bros. - Super Smash Bros. is a very fun game where you take on the role of any of your favorite Nintendo characters and fight against your friends. You can play alone with computers and that is still a lot of fun, but this game is really for playing multiplayer against your friends. You can play with up to eight other people. There's many characters to choose from, each having there own special ability.

1. Pokemon Diamond - Pokemon is already a very popular series with many different installments, but Pokemon Diamond is my all time favorite, and the one I grew up with. In this game, you take on the role of a Pokemon trainer, who has to travel across the land of Sinnoh collecting and training different Pokemon for battle. This game honestly has a very good story and is just fun all around. You could replay this game many times and still not get bored with it.
