HERO  is a person or character who, in the face of

danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, displays courage or self-sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good; a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. Historically, the first heroes displayed courage or excellence as warriors. The word's meaning was later extended to include moral excellence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero

01

In my own words: a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities.

My own example: Baymax is a healthcare robot. He is highly intelligent in the world of medics, devoted and is extremely caring for his patient.

TADASHI

ANTI-HERO

02

In my own words: a main character in a book, play, movie, etc., who does not have the usual good qualities that are expected in a hero.

My own example: Tadashi is a good guy. He just is. He actually developed, built and programmed a state-of-the-art nursebot—a Healthcare Companion named Baymax that will likely help millions worldwide. But it's his role as big brother that makes Tadashi truly special. Every kid needs a guy like Tadashi looking out for him, and Hiro knows just how lucky he is to have him in his life.

TRAGIC HERO A tragic hero is a person of noble birth

with heroicor potentially heroic qualities. This person is fated by the Gods or by some supernatural force to doom and destruction or at least to great suffering.

03

In my own words: The tragic hero is the man of innate nobleness who yet has some one defect that lays him open to ruin.

My own example: Tadashi Hamada is a brilliant inventor and the older brother of Hiro. Together, the two live with their aunt Cass in the beautiful city of San Fransokyo. Their parents died 10 years prior to the events of the film, growing up together in Cass' cafe and bakery.

COMIC RELIEF

13

COMIC RELIEF

Comic relief is the inclusion of a humorous character, scene, or witty dialogue in an otherwise serious work, often to relieve tension.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_relief

In my own words: Comic relief usually means a releasing of emotional or other tension resulting from a comic episode interposed in the midst of serious or tragic elements in a drama. 

My own example: Kronk is not just slapstick humor. The comic absurdity that he constantly finds himself in keeps the film light hearted and makes up for the somewhat boring main characters.

EXTRAS14

EXTRAS

https://www.google.com.ph

In my own words: a person or thing that is additional.

My own example: Plankton is much smaller than the other main characters; he is easily stepped on and/or sent flying back to the Chum Bucket with a mere flick of the finger.

CHORUS15

CHORUS

The chorus was a group that often danced and chanted in unison to enhance the presentation of the drama.

http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_chorus_in_literature

In my own words: The chorus could act as narrator introducing and setting scenes and letting the audience know about off stage action. 

My own example:  Relating strongly to a character warms a certain little compartment of the heart and can make a reader or viewer feel at home, which is why wide representation is so important and also why we often end up with these weird and cringe-worthy cut-out ‘geek’ or ‘book loving’ heroes that fans are meant to empathise with.

COMIC RELIEF

Flat characters are two-dimensional in that they are relatively uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a work.

Among other things, the character had to express satisfaction (mild satisfied smiling), self-confidence, auto safety, trust. As for clothing, the character had to wear a perfectly styled black suit and a red necktie.

New concepts learned The new stuff that I learned is that

creating characters is difficult but enjoyable.

There are many characters that we can define as an example of every situation or role in a given assignments.

Creating a cartoon characters is not easy but it entertains other people especially the kids or children.

NEW INPUTS18

This reminds me of… This reminds me of my childhood days

when instead of taking a bath and going to school I refer to watch my favorite cartoons.

This also reminds me when we are on a mall and I saw a CD of a cartoon and I didn’t want to go home without the CD.

CONNECTIONS19

Usefulness in real situations It is useful in real situation because I

can relate it in my everyday living because I can see some stuffs that cartoon may show us.

In cartoon characters, it is not all about making us happy but also in giving us knowledge on what we are watching.
