Graduation

As I graduated recently, as I processed through the halls I was saddened that alot of these people in this room I will never see again. The good strong bonds I do have I will have to keep in touch up in New Jersey where I will be going to college in the fall at Rowan University. (Rowan.edu) I never had a real chance to say goodbye an the summer will be a time of transition and rebirth as we all go our seperate ways on the next journey we are taking in this thing called life.

Never has their been a paper on Rocky as a hero on the internet until today....

What Makes Rocky a Hero?

               Rocky Balboa is a dim, but good-hearted average guy. For a living, 

Rocky retrieves money for a loan shark and has barely enough to scrape by, but from this 

he becomes a hero. Rocky looks out for others, cares for his loved ones, accepts defeat 

and fights against all odds to become something much greater than what he was.

               Rocky is a hero because he fights for the average, hard working lower 

class that makes up his neighborhood. Rocky is always looking out for others as is shown 

in the scene where Rocky sees a young girl named Marie smoking and hanging around 

with scum in front of a liquor store late at night. Rocky looks after her and takes Marie 

home and in return he gets, “screw you creepo!” 

               Rocky also exemplifies a hero with his love and affection for Adrian and his 

friend Paulie whom he helps out by wearing his meat packaging plant ad on the back of 

his robe in the fight against Apollo Creed. A scene which reflects Rocky’s 

unselfishness and character is when after the fight he cries out for Adrian as she is the 

only thing that matters to him. 

               Another true sign of a hero is the capacity to accept defeat and show 

unselfishness. The night before the fight Rocky tells Adrian that he doesn’t expect to beat 

Creed, but all he wants is to last all 15 rounds, which shows his unwavering courage and 

heart.      

               Rocky endures hardship from the beginning, but triumphs in the end with the 

love of his life and the dignity to come out even against the defending world champ.
