When hear the words epic I think of something really “cool”. I think an epic movie is something that has someone doing something that they normally wouldn’t be able to do in real life.

Cole

9/17/2019 10:42:45 am

I think that’s a great definition

Wylie

9/17/2019 10:45:36 am

I like how you explain that.

Tamryn

I agree with epic movie being something they couldn’t do in real life.

Sydnee

I think of something that would be and adrenaline rush. I think skydiving would be one or cliff jumping.

Sydnee

Caleb

When I hear the word epic I think of something we don’t see everyday. Like a cool highlight on a football game such as odell’s 1 handed catch against the Jets. An epic movie is talledega nights. These are more real world epic things rather than the fictional movie epic.

Riley

9/17/2019 10:43:39 am

I’m gonna honest with you chief. Literally any movie is more epic than that one.

Dakota

9/17/2019 10:44:33 am

Or Odell’s one handed catch his rookie year against the cowboys.

Cheyenne

9/17/2019 10:46:52 am

I like your definition of epic and I agree with it the highlights of things can be more epic than just anything that is actually considered epic.

The word epic comes to mind when something happens that has a big wow factor. An epic movie is hacksaw ridge. Literary epic is just a moving piece of literature.

Jacob

9/17/2019 10:46:17 am

I also think that Hacksaw Ridge is a epic movie.

Taelyn

I agree with your definition of epic

Dylan

When I hear the word epic I think of something that is so interesting I will never forget it. I think that action sequences in movies are epic because they are scenes you have a hard time forgetting. A movie I think is epic is Deadpool because of all of the unforgettable action. A literary epic is a long poem so they are quite different.

Owen

9/17/2019 10:50:09 am

That’s a pretty epic movie.

Riley

9/17/2019 10:42:03 am

An epic is something of epic proportions or something so astoundingly awesome that is is “epic”. To me when I hear epic I think of cringe 12 year olds overusing the word for everything. Epic movies with lots of action or are grand, to me he lord of the rings trilogy is epic. Epic literacy is much of the same in my opinion.

Dylan

9/17/2019 10:43:49 am

I agree that the lord of the rings trilogy is epic.

Owen

9/17/2019 10:45:42 am

That’s a good movie series.

Loon

9/17/2019 10:46:00 am

That’s epic

Troy

9/17/2019 10:42:25 am

Epic is something that makes you go wow and is something you will never forget. Some of the things I consider epic are free style bull fighting and duck hunting. An epic movie I like is dead pool

Cheyenne

9/17/2019 10:48:10 am

I agree Deadpool is a pretty epic movie and I could see epic being that makes people say wow.

Loon

9/17/2019 10:42:38 am

When the word epic comes to mind I think of a poem. Other things I consider epic are our lord and savior Guy Fieri. When I think of epic movies I think of is Trailer Park Boys: The Movie. These compare to a literal epic because they are in fact epic.

Sydnee

9/17/2019 10:44:00 am

Love the movie you picked

Riley

9/17/2019 10:44:59 am

Guy fiery is definitely a man of epic proportions.

Dakota

When the word epic is said I feel like something amazing has happened. Somethings I consider epic is when’s person makes a really cool catch in football, I’ll be like that was epic. I consider American pie as an epic movie because they are always doing amazing things through out the movie. I think these compare to the literal term is because usually epic happens when something extraordinary has happened.

Cole

9/17/2019 10:44:33 am

I like American Pie also

Loon

9/17/2019 10:44:38 am

Nice movie

Destiny

9/17/2019 10:42:53 am

Epic is a grand in scale or heroic. I consider epic as a something that is unremarkable or the everyday hero’s you see on social media. A movie I would consider pic is something like Ben-Hur. The literary definition for epic is a long poem

Cheyenne Ward

9/17/2019 10:43:09 am

I think of something of greatness with power. I consider people to be epic because we all have our strengths and weaknesses which can have a powerful effect. An movie I consider epic it Stomp the Yard because it has a lot of downfalls but it rises and people come together as a team to win a championship. These could relate to the literal term of epic because it gives the adventure of people in a traditional school.

Destiny

9/17/2019 10:49:05 am

I agree I agree with how it compares to literary epic, it’s how we all think of epic.

Kelton

9/17/2019 10:43:16 am

When I hear the word “epic” I usually think of something cool happening or hearing about something awesome. Some things I consider epic are big hits in football or great catches. A epic movie to me would be Talledega Nights. A literary epic is a short poem.

Brayden

Good outlook on the word epic.

Wylie

9/17/2019 10:44:07 am

The thing that comes to my mind when I hear epic is something really cool to me. Some things that I consider epic are sports and hunting and freestyle bullfighting. An epic movie would be step brothers. These compare because they are what I consider epic.

Jacob

When I hear the word epic I think of something that I like and think I should cool. Some examples of things that I think are epic are big hits in football or fast cars. A epic movie is Talledega Nights. There might be a epic lengthy poem that someone might think is cool and they think is exciting.

Good definition

Owen

When I hear the word epic multiple things come to mind. Something that doesn’t usually happen in and everyday life. Movies, beating records, passing senior project. RED is a pretty epic one. A lengthy poem that’s epic.

Brooke

9/17/2019 10:50:52 am

I can’t think of just one thing that I would call epic a lot of things come to mind.

Tamryn

9/17/2019 10:46:41 am

What comes to my mind when I hear the word “epic” is a vine that goes “that was legitness.”I don’t know why that comes to mind it just does. The word also reminds me of something awesome and cool. A couple things I consider “epic” are skydiving, swimming with sharks and cliff jumping. An epic movie to me would be the Maze Runner.

Dylan

9/17/2019 10:48:15 am

Great vine reference.

Brooke

9/17/2019 10:51:35 am

That is really fun that that’s what comes to mind.

Tyrell Wortley

9/17/2019 10:49:16 am

To me what comes to mind for me with epic is a large battle between two groups of people. I consider things such as a fight between two birds of pray, or a fiery doul between rival groups as epic. Some epic movies to me are Star Wars, Vilarean (I think that’s spelled wrong), and perhaps Indiana Jones. I would think that these compared to litterateur epics are small and short. The same is said for the expanded universe of Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings.

Brooke

9/17/2019 10:49:37 am

When I hear the word epic I think of super hero’s or someone doing something really “cool”. I think that bungeeing jumping of a bridge or jumping out of a plane would be epic. The movie that I would consider epic would be John Wick. It would compaier to the literary epic because you could write about it or tell a story.

Charlie Hansen

9/17/2019 10:49:43 am

When I hear the word epic, I think of something large and impressive or a feat that seems impossible. Some things I find epic are Bigfoot (the truck) and skydiving from the stratosphere. A movie I find epic is John Wick 2. It might be similar to the literary definition of epic.

That's so Epic, Brah!
