Heroes We Never Name


Back of the men we honor
Enrolled on the scroll of fame,
Are the millions who go unmentioned –
The heroes we never name!
Those who have won us the victories,
And conquered along the way;
Those who have made us a nation –
A tribute to them I would pay.
Back of our nation’s first leader,
Of Lincoln and Wilson, too,
Back of the mind directing our course
Was the army that carried it through.
Back of the generals and captains
Was the tramping of rank and file,
And back of them were the ones at home
Who labored with tear and with smile.
And What of the “everyday” heroes
Whose courage and efforts ne’er cease!
Toilers who struggle and labor and strive
And hope for a future of peace?
Hats off to the worthy leaders;
Their honor I’d ever acclaim –
But here’s a cheer for the many brave,
The heroes we never name.

Archetype – Examples and Definition of Archetype

Archetype – Examples and Definition of Archetype: “Archetype Definition

In literature, an archetype is a typical character, an action or a situation that seems to represent such universal patterns of human nature.

An archetype, also known as universal symbol, may be a character, a theme, a symbol or even a setting. Many literary critics are of the opinion that archetypes, which have a common and recurring representation in a particular human culture or entire human race, shape the structure and function of a literary work.

Carl Jung, Swiss psychologist, argued that the root of an archetype is in the “collective unconscious” of mankind. The phrase “collective unconscious” refers to experiences shared by a race or culture. This includes love, religion, death, birth, life, struggle, survival etc. These experiences exist in the subconscious of every individual and are recreated in literary works or in other forms of art.”
