the better leader

Antwan pulley English 4 5/22/14 The better leader A leader is someone that can lead people down the path of success or the path of destruction. A leader is someone that does not give in to the negative peer pressure but instead they go out their way to help someone in need. A good leader would be recognized by his or her determination to improve their society. They are not in it for the fortune or fame. These are the qualities that make either a positives successful leader or a negative leader with little or no success. Beowulf for example would be a positive leader. He traveled from Sweden to Ireland to help King Hrothgar defeat his demon. Beowulf was known for being a fearless warrior and was always up for a good challenge. Beowulf was loved by his people and they felt safe whenever he was around because of his bravery. Beowulf did care much about being king all he wanted was to die with honor. Macbeth is an example of a negative leader. Macbeth was informed of that he would first be thane and then king of Scotland. Macbeth full of anxiety told his wife the good news and they begin to scheme up a plan. The plan was to get the guards drunk, kill the king while he was sleep and blame the death of the king on the guards. Macbeth even killed his right hand man in fear of his son becoming king. With blood on their hands guilt begin to catch up with Macbeth and his wife. They started hallucinating and going crazy and the people of Scotland did not want him to king anymore because they didn’t feel safe. These are two but very different leaders. One leader made his way to the top by gaining the trust of his people and making them feel safe. Meanwhile the other leader made his way to the top by manipulating, deceiving, and killing anyone who got in his way. While Beowulf was beloved by his people Macbeth was feared and hated by his people. Beowulf people wept at his death and was missed instantly while Macbeth people was happy he was gone and was not missed at all. In conclusion all leaders are not the same. Some leaders can either be trustworthy or feared by all. Also all leaders are not positive, some leaders will manipulate you to gain your trust while the other gain your trust through action. Leaders can either lead other people down the path of success or destruction or they can lead their self down the path of success or destruction.

On February 21, 2014 in Moulmein, lower Burma a man was found dead. Paramedics responded quickly to the scene to remove the corpse. When they arrived witness say that the coolie had been trampled by a wild elephant. Witnesses say the elephant hit the man with his trunk, stepped on him repeatedly and then preceded to grind him into the earth. The man’s named was Yoel Daymon a 27 year old Burma native. Yoel’s wife says that he was just going to the bazaar to get some bread and rice, he was only gone for 20mins before she heard the sirens. Once she stepped outside she saw all the chaos and then started to wonder is her husband okay. Abani realized that the bazaar was torn up and that was were Yoel was going to the bazaar for food. Abani freaks out and runs toward the bazaar and at the exit end of the bazaar there was a crowd. She fought to get through. Once through she dropped to her covered her face and cried and didn’t stop.

when i was younger my favorite cartoon to watch when i was bored was avatar the last air bender. it was a show about three friends traveling around the world to find benders to teach aing to master the four elements; water,earth,fire,air. on their journey they faced many obstacles such as people trying to kill them, finding a master, and shelter. through all of this they begin to get frustrated lose their composure but aing always stayed calm and kept a level head. aing was always able to calm everyone down so they can think of a full proof plan that always seemed to work.To me the creator of this cartoon was trying to get the audience to learn how to stay calm in a frantic situation.
