Rocky "American Hero"

Rocky Balboa is a not to well known boxer who fights people in a local club in the boxing place. He gets the rare yet his shot to being a big shot chance when Apollo Creed invites Rocky for a chance to fight. Apollo Creed is a heavyweight champion and feels as this can be a nice fight because he is African American and Rocky is Italian. As he refers himself to the "Italian Stallion". I consider Rocky an "American Hero" because he is young and he is determined yet sentimental, and caring. In which we all can relate. He won't give up on his love for boxing over the fight he is now challenged to and also for Adrian his romantic interest.
