Who is your "Batman?"
In my life, a person who epitomizes Batman is my father. Batman's parents died when he was relatively young, and he had to grow up without help from a mother and father. My dad's parents did not die when he was young like Batman, but escaping from a war torn country to America was hard. His parents (my grandparents) knew practically nothing about American culture, how things were done, and even the language. My dad also had to grow up with almost little to no guidance from his parents. That's why my dad always tells my brother and I to be grateful when he advises us on things because he didn't have the luxury of that when he was our age. Furthermore, my dad has a strong sense of doing the right things just like Batman. Sometimes, my dad's way of doing the right things may not be the best, just like Batman, but he's determined. Both Batman and my dad stick to their beliefs and don't back down, even when there is a blurred line between wrong and right in certain situations. Batman won't listen to people like Dr. Wolper and others about the controversy of his return. Batman doesn't listen to the police when they want to arrest him because he wants to stick to his beliefs and help others. My father doesn't care as well what others say about him, he just continues on to do what he thinks is right. My brother and I are always told by our dad that it doesn't matter what others say or do to us, what matters is that we know we are better than that and are doing what we believe is the right thing to do. As stated earlier, I believe that my dad is a person in my life that epitomizes Batman well, and I'm thankful to have him in my life as a "Batman-like" figure.

I find it amazing how your grandparents had to raise your father without knowing anything about American culture. Your father's story is definitely a story that will have a place in my mind for when I start to act a little inconsiderate of the things I have. I loved this piece, good work :)
ReplyDeleteWith out knowing that this was a an assignment on who is a real life figure of Batman, I would have guessed who you were comparing your father to with out the context of Batman. I see as to why your Dad would make a great Batman based on his strong opinions and not paying attention to what other people say about him. Great comparison altogether, would you have considered him a Batman like figure before we ever had to do this assignment?
