Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) As long as man has told stories, he has
had heroes to talk about. Whether they are
two-legged or four-legged, they are generally
thoughtful and brave. We want, if not demand that
in a hero. In the telling of stories we have
determined that heroes are necessary elements of
our society, for it is their role to show us how
we might be, at our very best. It is possible that
just such a hero has surfaced in the form of Colin
Powell. In this discussion we will look at his own
story of 1995, entitled My American Journey.
