Facing the Enemy

In any story, there comes a time when the hero or heroine faces an enemy, whether it's standing up for those he or she loves or saving a nation. There are many ways the protagonist can face the antagonist:
 * 1) Blocking the enemy's blow.
 * 2) Glaring at the enemy.
 * 3) Standing between the enemy and someone to save.
 * 4) Blocking the enemy's escape.
 * 5) Prepping a karate pose.
 * 6) Drawing a weapon, whether it be swords, guns, bombs, or even foods of any sort.
 * 7) Spreading insults to the enemy.

Usually this happens when the hero stands up against the villain, a monster, or an invading army. Sometimes the hero can face who he or she initally thinks is an enemy, but he or she realizes he is not. For example, John Smith prepares to shoot Pocahontas but when he realizes she is kind, he puts down his gun.
