Notion: Myths and Heroes

I’m going to talk about the notion of myths and heroes. First of all, I’m going to give a definition about this notion. A myths can be defined a traditional story concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events. A hero can be in mythology and folklore, a person of superhuman qualities who is admired for his/her courage or outstanding achievements.

How can heroes influence people’s life and motivate them to realize the American Dream? It is still possible to realize the American Dream? Do we have to be an extraordinary man or woman to realize the American Dream?

After introducing the notion, I will deal with example of wonderful person with a parcour extremely complicated, and to realize the American Dream, like Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs.

First of all, we are going speaking of Oprah Winfrey who is an example for a millions of people. Oprah Winfrey has not always this woman strong and smiling with of good advice, she has lived a life very miserable during the childhood and teenage-hood. What she lived is awful, she was raped when she was 9 by acquaintances of his family and uncles, cousins. And she was black and lived in poverty. This parcour the forged, to be the woman of today. This philanthropist who loves humanity and who helps people by giving money charities. Now she is a famous person of the world for its shows, who helps the lives of millions of people giving them advice, and she is a model  because she managed to reach the top although. We have an other philanthropist, who is Andrew Carnegie was a famous self-made man and a scothish immigrant. He made his fortunate out of steel/iron industry, because he believed in iron, steel. However he would give money when his country was at peace, he hate the war. That is why he was called the Prince of Peace. He too to start from scratch and to climb the social ladder.

Besides, we have Steve Jobs, an other example who has realize the American Dream, in the technology. He was adopted by an ordinary American family. He lives many obstacles, and he is understood, like watch the movie about to his live. Which shows the way toward success, and he started from scratch and reached the top.

The parcour of Steve Jobs describe excatement the goal of American Dream, who is make wealth, be respected, famous…

Among those who had to realize the American Dream, i can count Angelina Jolie, she was an American actress, film-maker and humanitarian. These movies are so famous around the world, and the humanitarian is a cause who means a lot to him, like education, women rights... She is also a member of philanthropist.

To conclude, these people who achieved big Dreams, are examples to follow, because they show that anything is possible can imports our past. That we can start from scratch and that we must reach the top.
