HERO is a person or character who, in the face of
danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, displays courage or self-sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good; a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. Historically, the first heroes displayed courage or excellence as warriors. The word's meaning was later extended to include moral excellence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero
01
In my own words: a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities.
My own example: Baymax is a healthcare robot. He is highly intelligent in the world of medics, devoted and is extremely caring for his patient.

TADASHI
ANTI-HERO

In my own words: a main character in a book, play, movie, etc., who does not have the usual good qualities that are expected in a hero.
My own example: Tadashi is a good guy. He just is. He actually developed, built and programmed a state-of-the-art nursebot—a Healthcare Companion named Baymax that will likely help millions worldwide. But it's his role as big brother that makes Tadashi truly special. Every kid needs a guy like Tadashi looking out for him, and Hiro knows just how lucky he is to have him in his life.

My own example: Kronk is not just slapstick humor. The comic absurdity that he constantly finds himself in keeps the film light hearted and makes up for the somewhat boring main characters.

CHORUS15
CHORUS
The chorus was a group that often danced and chanted in unison to enhance the presentation of the drama.
http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_chorus_in_literature
In my own words: The chorus could act as narrator introducing and setting scenes and letting the audience know about off stage action.
My own example: Relating strongly to a character warms a certain little compartment of the heart and can make a reader or viewer feel at home, which is why wide representation is so important and also why we often end up with these weird and cringe-worthy cut-out ‘geek’ or ‘book loving’ heroes that fans are meant to empathise with.

Creating a cartoon characters is not easy but it entertains other people especially the kids or children.
NEW INPUTS18

when instead of taking a bath and going to school I refer to watch my favorite cartoons.
This also reminds me when we are on a mall and I saw a CD of a cartoon and I didn’t want to go home without the CD.
CONNECTIONS19

can relate it in my everyday living because I can see some stuffs that cartoon may show us.
