Hero Reflection

Hero Reflection
A hero is someone that changes the life of another person through there actions. Someone that helps make there community/world a better place for everybody.

The hero project got me to think what a hero really was and who qualifies to be a hero. The first thing that poped into my head when I heard the word hero I thought, "Super Hero." But no thats not the type of hero I wanted. This project was meant to change our perspective on heros and to broaden our thinking process of what a hero really is.

We started out naming Super Heros. And gradually went into people living on the earth right now that could be heroic. So we brainstormed different heros in our eyes. I ended up doing my mom because she is the ultimate hero. We went through the process of drafting. We rote our 1st draft and had a pier review with the other classes. Then went home and rote the 2nd draft. Brought that in and got it corrected by Charlotte (our amazing teacher). It was hard thinking how much she would have to say but I turned out okay. I made a final draft, marked all my corrections and turned it in for final revisions. I turned it into a template, made it look really good and then put it on my DP.

I learned a lot about my mom and got to go into deep and personal questions with her. There were a couple of different problems. Like formating my document and adding really descriptive language but over all it was good. If I were to do this again I would change a few questions and make the story more focused on the one heroic moment. I would try to put more detail and go into deeper thought to make the story more emotional and fun. It will make me think more and go into more thought about my subject. It broadened my learning process from a 6 to a 9 and made it so I could wright better and more interesting.

I picked wonder because in my story I wondered alot about how she would answer the questions and wondered why she used some answers because they seemed a little wierd.

Angry Sam

Catching the signal from one of her friends, Angela brushed her skirt, took a deep breath and walked towards where he was sitting.

“Hey what’s up?” Angela said in a high-pitched voice, thinking to herself, ‘He looked like a rock just waiting to be picked up and thrown down river.’

“Nothing really, my mom is late picking me up and I have soccer in ten minutes.” Sam mumbled growing madder every second. “Please go away. I am not in the best mood right now and I just want to be alone.”

“Alright then jeez! Someone is not a very happy camper.” She yelled as she stomped away. She thought to herself. ‘His face was a big dark moon giving off no light or happiness.’ Angela walked back over to her friends and said, “That bowl of gunk over there is in the worst mood ever, what happened to his today?”

“Well his mom and dad have been fighting lately and he doesn’t know what’s going to happen.” Jadon announced to everybody sitting around him.

Now felling a little sad I walked over to him said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what you have been going through and I want you to forgive me.” Knowing the answer I started walking away when he said.

“I sorry too, I didn’t need to take my anger out on you.”

“Ya think, I mean yes probably. But I forgive you.” She said calmly sitting down next to him, as her face became a tomato.

“Thank you!” He said as they walked down to Sam’s mom’s car.
