The bearfoot bandit story

Once upon a time there was boy named Colton Harris-Moore also known as the barefoot bandit, had a rough childhood growing up. His family fought a lot and, his father ended up dying when he was only 9 years old. Not having this father influences, and getting into fights with his mother constantly, he became kind of a trouble maker and had no reason for life as it was. At the age of 12 he thought it would be cool to steal different things. Sometimes these objects he stole were of no use to him, sometimes they were for just luxury. Colton started off stealing little things like a cell phone. As he progressed he thought of steeling an airplane. After his thefts, the cops caught him and he was categorized as a juvenile delinquent. He eventually escaped Juvenile Hall, and he began his crime spree. At the age of 17 he stole his first plane (a Cessna 182) and while in the air he taught himself how to fly. At this point the cops were all over him so he decided to land on the islands of Camano. He also had a partner in crime during these affairs and his code name was Harley Davidson. After one year of stealing 3 planes and avoiding the cops he crash landed for the last time in the Bahamas. This was his last run. The cops finally tracked him down in the Bahamas, after 20,000 plus facebook fans, leaving notes, robbing numerous drug stores, and stealing objects as big as private planes, Colton was a worldwide idol and is proudly given the name Barefoot Bandit.

Tony Esposito (Legendary hockey hall of fame goalie)

Tony Esposito

(Born April 23, 1943)

Tony Esposito is a legendary hockey hall of fame goalie who spent most of his career playing for the Chicago Blackhawks. He played 3 years of college hockey and 14 years of proffessional. Tony has many hero traits as well; his call to adventure was to win the stanley cup. He ended up winning the stanley cup his first year on the Canadiens, yet he only played 13 games. Tony's supernatural guide throughout his carreer was his older brother Phil Esposito, whom also played in the NHL. Tony's crossing the threshold began in 1962 when he left home to play in the USHL. His belly of the whale was when he started with the Blackhawks, he was drivin to win the Stanley cup twice. Tony's partner was his whole team, every year he played on a team. After Tony won his first Cup he was drivin as a hero's deed to be in the NHL hall of fame. As Phil left to play on other teams Tony looses his guide. Esposito's boon's were all of his pads, to make all the great saves that he did. Tony sacrificed his role when he got traded to different teams, but once he stuck with the Blackhawks, you can never betray. Tony's Elixir was his helmet. Tony had one of the first helmets as a hockey goalie, and his stood out the most.

Luke skywalker double bubble

In the great, classical movie of Star wars, and the short story of Blue diamond. I believe their are some similarities and differences. In both stories i believe the hero learns to cope with their surroundings both physically and mentally, throughout their journeys. In the movie Star Wars, the main character, Luke Skywalker, is very similar to Doug, in Blue Diamond. One similarity between the too is that they both have saved a person/persons through dangerous situations. Luke saves Princess Laea as she was trapped in the death star. Doug on the other hand saves his friend from committing suicide. Having both of these stories be similar, i believe their are more differences. One of the differences would be that throughout Luke's journey to be the hero, he was gifted with the super power of the force. Unlike Doug, he was not gifted with any powers to help him cope with the difficult journey of the hero. The last difference between the two hero's would be their journeys took place in very different environments. Doug's journey took place in the big city of Las Vegas! Luke on the other hand, traveled around the galaxy planet to planet and most of the time battling on ships. Both of these hero's struggled long and hard to earn the title of the hero and the one similarity that matter the most, was that they both succeeded.
