indian jones, cartman, batman

Indian jones- Indian jones is seen in two perspectives. One from the average american who carries out a normal life and kids of all ages who see him as the adventure seeking hero who knows how to get out of any tight situation without a scratch, a man who can get the ladies, and a man who can almost do anything. He's interesting because he's has a backround in archaeology which is interesting because most super hero's dont seem to be smart or even know too much other than fighting bad guys. He on the other hand is a brain and has incentives based in his field of work to do what he does. Archeologists on the other hand see him the same as other people but know that what he does isnt really true for what he does on the most part. He goes after bad guys rather than search vigoursly like the other archeologists. He puts excitement into the job knowing that the movie relates to their work in a way.

Cartman- Cartman is seen as the little trouble child almost like a little chuckie with an attitude without the killing frenzie's. He is loved and hated because of who he is. His character is so outrageous and problematic that most like mid teens to young teens love it but parents most likely see it as a horrible influence for their kids and people in general. Parents probably see it as immoral and just something that will teach kids to do the wrong things like they do. He speaks freely and is quite controversial in almost every episode which gives hims his unique and distinct personality. 

4. Once you have done that, think about characters you have met in books, seen in movies or plays, or watched on TV. Pick one that is of particular interest to you. Write an entry in which you explain why this character is important to our culture in your opinion. What qualities does this character possess that makes him/her/it so intriguing? Why is this character important to our society (not just a small group of fans)?

Batman- I chose batman because he is one of the superheroes that whether you like it or not, have witnessed and know about it. It's basically as big as media can get, hes one of the originators of super heroes and is a prime example of a character setting an example. Hes important because he is a character who kids from age 4 and up just absolutely soak in what he has to give which is good things and fighting bad villains. it teaches you simple morals like doing the right thing and to help out people. hes just an example that you want to be, everyone wants to be him, even i do. Hes just the man at what he does and nearly never screws up and if he even does, hell fix it non-chalantly. Hes important to society because hes a figure that everyone knows and everyone someone wants to live their life out like him. Everyone would love to be unstoppable and invincible and be a normal person but do extraordinary things. Hes a figure that influences the young and follows you until your old and wrinkly.
