Many of us have our own definition us have our own definition and opinions on what or who is consider an hero. But do we really understand the true meaning of what a hero or heroin is?
Well, In my opinion an hero or heroin is is someone who is selfless, brave and who would sacrifice their own lives to save others. For example and hero could be someone mother or fathers', not necessary strangers. Depending on how good of a parent he or she is.
In the book, "The Hero with a thousand faces", the author Joseph Campbell elements of a hero's journey states, "a hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of super natural wonder". He also went on to say, " the hero come back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boon on his fellow. This statement is perfect in contrast to the adventurous character name Coraline from the book "Coraline". For example the Author Neil Gainman, portray and tell the story of an adventurous little girl name Coraline, who he consider to be brave, mysterious, curious, courageous, fearless, and enjoys exploring.
I depict this book were I came to the judgement that Coraline has an warrior, super hero personality. When Caroline and her parent's move in to the new house, Caroline came upon a mysterious door where she drawn quite a curious feeling about. she then went on to question her mother about the door and got the answer that, the door led to know where but brick wall. In young Coraline curious mind, she had an suspicious feeling about the door. Anyway, Coraline was less interested to be around her parents and wanted more of what consider better parents. They were the type of mother and father who seems to have no quality time for their daughter, but more time consume with their work. Her mother never cooks and her dad tries, but Coraline consider his food and way of cooking to be disgusting. All this add up to where Coraline wishes she had new parents.
In comparison to the author Joseph Campbell, that one of his element of an hero is adventure. This is where author Neil Gaiman comes in and show Coraline adventurous side, where one night the door she was so curious about magically open and without a fearless thought she went through to explore. On the other side of that door she came up on a woman that looks just like her mother and a man who looks like her father. Nevertheless, they were both calling Coraline their daughter and telling her that they were her Other parents. Shortly there after, Coraline began to adjust because the love and attention they were giving her, unfortunately, her real parents wasn't. The food was delicious and well done, all Coraline ever wanted. Coraline knew she had to go home, because in reality she never really wanted new parent, just wanted more love and attention from the real ones.
Coraline other parent other parents did everything great to convince her to stay because the other mother claim she belongs with them. The other mother had other motive for Coraline, she wanted to take Coraline's Soul. Coraline swiftly realize the other mother's plan and escape back through the door. Back at her real home, she found the house empty and her mother and father were no where to be founded. In order to allure Coraline to the other world, the other mother kidnapped Coraline's parents. Realizing that her parents was missing, Coraline made a heroin selfless decision and went back to the other world to save her parents from the evil mother.
Coraline's character is consider a hero because even though she was scared, she went back to face the and showed how brave she were by demanding that the other mother release her parents. With that said, releasing her parents would come that easy, so Coraline had to basically bargin her soul for the release of her parents. Coraline took the risk of sacrificing her soul to save her parents. The deal didnt came easy but that did not stop Coraline, she took the challenge, figure out difficult clues by using monument she have gotten for friends.
Coraline solve the mysterious mystery of her lost parents and at the same time solve and release other lost souls that the evil other mother stole. After all, she got to keep her soul and save her parents. Fabulous forces was encounter and a decisive victory was won. These are elements of a an hero, and Coraline proves she came back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boon on her fellow friends (Joseph Campbell).
Hero's come in different shapes, color and size. With that said there is a little in all of us.
