Oni and the Great Bird Quickwrite p. 698


Superheroes in comic books are different from real-life heroes in many ways. Many superheroes are very famous and have many people stare at their powers, speed, strength, and courage and are dressed in fancy costumes and seem to be showing off in some ways. However, many real-life heroes do not seek adulation after they accomplish something big such as taking down a robbery of a drugstore. Those people, unlike fictional heroes, have to face true death and make a choice whether to risk their life or allow someone else’s life to be taken by the hand of Death. A true hero is one that has a normal life and when he/she sees a crime, will find a way to comfort them and bring out true courage to actually confront the criminals. Also, fictional superheroes seem to have super human qualities already and whereas normal people simply use what they have to adapt to their situation. Super heroes, in my opinion, are just fake cowards with undeserved super human qualities but true real life heroes are people that are faced with a moral choice of their own happy life with the chance of a family and happiness against risking all that happiness and life to try and safe another one’s. The true courage is the courage of standing up in the face of death when it is drawn out from your heart instead of having super powers which allow you to be invincible or invisible.
