Je précise que ça a déjà été corrigé par le correcteur automatique du site...
First, we are going to define what a heroe and a myth are. In fact since hundred years there is an ideal about the concept of a hero. The common definition of a heroe, in mythology is a DemiGod, a person who helps population, can have superpowers, strong, smart, brave, just perfect. But always the heroes are unique and not many. Now the definition of a myth, generally a myth is a traditionnal, typically ancient story which deals with supernatural things. It's a popular belief and can be a fiction story. So beyond those common definitions we are going to ask if everybody can be a heroe and became or constitute his own myth. Let's start with heroes of the past, the superheroes of Marvel, are the classic illustration of common definitions of myth and heroe, we are going to compare them with unusual heroes. The heroes of Marvel owns special caracteristics, they have extraordinary capacities, like superhuman physical strenght, uncommon speed, resistance to the pain... They have equipment to face the opponents who also has superpowers. The interesting point is that they have two identities, the normal one, without superpowers and the secret one with superpowers, to differentiate the two identities and keep the secret, they wear a costume. The two identities reveal the common belief, the normal persons without superpowers can't be superheroes. They need to be exceptional, their mission is to help the population, to save people and kill the bad persons, but they can't do it when they are normal. In relation with the concept of demi-God we can say that the superheroes need to be superior, better than simple humans. So now we are going to talk about normal persons of the past, who became superheroes, unforgettable and source of hope and inspiration. These persons are the heroes of segregation, we choose them because they were considered like subhumans but now they are considered like heroes so like superhumans. We are going to take the example of Rosa Parks specifically because she incarnates the fight for black people's rights and also women's rights. "The first lady of civil rights" worked before the "incident" as a simple dressmaker and nursing auxiliary, plus she was black so at that time there were no possibility for her to became a hero. But then she worked hard and with the encouragment of her husband she finished her high school studies in 1933, at a time when less than 7% of African Americans had a high school diploma. After she took part of the Civil Rights Movement and the day come for her, but also for her sisters and brothers, that was the starting of the revolution. The first of December she became a celebrity, a myth, a symbol, an icon. In fact she took the seat which was reserved for white people, when the bus conductor tell her to leave her place she just refused and became "the mother of the freedom movement" because after that "incident" with Martin Luther King the black people managed to make of the segregation laws unconstitutional. We have here the raise of a normal person who was considered as a subhuman. She has no superpowers, no exeptionnal physical strenght, no special equipment and no two identities. But despite that she became one of the most famous woman in the world, she inspires men and women. She has important and sacred values like courage, determination, strong mental and the will. She shows that anybody can became a hero and that there is hope for everybody.
We conclude that according to the circumstances anybody can became a hero, because of the real impact of their actions in the world, people believe them and understand, see that it's possible, everything is possible, the hope is still their...

  • First, we are going to define what a hero and a myth are. In fact since time in memorial there is an ideal about the concept of a hero. The common definition of a hero, in mythology is a Demigod, a person who helps people, can have superpowers, strong, smart, brave; just perfect. But always the heroes are unique and not so common. Now the (On the other hand,or while would be better) the definition of a myth: generally a myth is a traditional, typically ancient story which deals with supernatural things. It's a popular belief and can be a fictitious story. So beyond those common definitions we are going to ask if everybody can be a hero and became or constitute his own myth. Let's start with heroes of the past, the superheroes of Marvel, who are the classic illustration of the (meant to depict specificity) common definition of myths and heroes, we are going to compare them with the other unusual heroes. The heroes of Marvel owns (have) special characteristics, they have extraordinary capacities, like superhuman physical strength, uncommon speed, resistance to the pain... They have equipment to face the opponents who also have (they are more than one) superpowers. The interesting point is that they have two identities, the normal one, without superpowers and the secret one with superpowers, to differentiate the two identities and keep the secret, they wear a costume. The two identities reveal the common belief that the normal (common) persons without superpowers can't be superheroes. They need to be exceptional, their mission is to help the population, to save people and kill the bad people, but they can't do it unless they mask up (or put on their disguise). In relation with the concept of demigods we can say that the superheroes need to be superior and (use of a conjunction is better than the comma)better than simple humans. So now we are going to talk about normal people of the past, who became superheroes, unforgettable and source of hope and inspiration. These people are the heroes segregation, we choose them because they were considered like subhumans but now they are regarded as heroes just as the super-humans. We are going to take the example of Rosa Parks specifically because she incarnates the fight for black people's rights and also women's rights. "The first lady of civil rights" worked before the "incident" as a simple dressmaker and nursing auxiliary, plus she was black so at that time there were no possibility for her to became a hero. But then she worked hard and with the encouragement of her husband she finished her high school studies in 1933, at a time when less than 7% of African Americans had a high school diploma. After, she took part in the Civil Rights Movement and the day came for her, and not only for her but also for her sisters and brothers, that was the start of the revolution. The first of December (mention the year too) she became a celebrity, a myth, a symbol and an icon. In fact (this phrase you would use when adding to the previous statement) she took the seat which was reserved for white people, when the bus conductor asked her to leave the seat she just simply refused and henceforth became "the mother of the freedom movement" because after that "incident,"  the black people led by Martin Luther King, managed to make the segregation laws unconstitutional. Hence, we have here the rise of a normal person, who was considered as a subhuman, to a hero. She has no superpowers, no exceptional physical strength, no special equipment and no secret identity. But despite that she became one of the most famous woman in the world and she inspires both men and women. She has important and sacred values like courage, determination, strong mental will. She shows that anybody can became a hero and that there is hope for everybody.
    We conclude that according to the circumstances, anybody can became a hero, because of the real impact of their actions in the world, people believe them and understand, see that it's possible, everything is possible, the hope is still their...
