Rocky: An American Hero? 9/10/14

After finishing the movie, I do feel that Rocky was somewhat of an American hero. I thought he was heroic because he had the courage to fight Apollo Creed and he was able to last in the ring with him. Even if he didn't win, Rocky still trained hard and succeeded in lasting through the fight. He was able to represent the American Dream by training hard and being brave enough to go through with the fight. I thinks this make people proud of Rocky and happy that even though he didn't win the fight we still feel like he succeeded in making it to the top and being known by the world.
