and finally my Finding Nemo essay

In Disney Pixar’s Finding Nemo, Marlin, a clown fish, is trying to start a new home. A barracuda dramatically attacks him and his family. His wife and children are taken from him, all except one, Nemo. Nemo’s story begins when he is taken to Sydney, Australia, which embarks his father on an epic adventure. In the movie Finding Nemo, the characters of Nemo, Marlin, and Dory are examples of epic heroes.

The first example of an epic hero is Marlin. He illustrates this by a courageous deed, a long journey, and the saving of a school of fish. The courageous deed Marlin shows is by fighting the barracuda. He does this in an attempt to save his family. Next, Marlin saves a school of fish caught in a net. He does this because Nemo and Dory are caught in the net also. Marlin’s last epic trait is the journey he makes to Sydney. He does this to save Nemo and take him back home. In conclusion, Marlin is an epic hero because he demonstrates 3 epic traits.

The second example of an epic hero is Nemo, who illustrates this through courageous deeds, long journeys, and the saving of a school of fish. Nemo’s courageous deed involves touching the fishing boat. He does this to prove that he is not a ‘scaredy cat’. This is closely followed by Nemo’s long journey. This voyage takes him from his home in the ocean to a fish tank in Sydney, Australia. Lastly, Nemo helps save a school of fish. He does this by organizing them to swim down in the net. In conclusion, by showing epic traits, Nemo is considered an epic hero.

The last example of an epic hero is Dory, who demonstrates this by courageous deeds, long journeys, and a significant speech. Dory’s courageous deed involves swimming through the jellyfish. Even though this is painful, Dory keeps going. Dory’s long journey closely follows Marlin’s. She is picked up by him early in his quest to find his son. Finally, Dory gives a speech to Marlin, explaining how Marlin has helped her and how she feels safe when she is with him. In conclusion, Dory would be considered a hero by the epic traits she shows.
