1.What is a hero? Do you have a hero? Who is it and why?
To me, a hero is not someone with special powers such as superman or batman but someone who has the willingness to sacrifice themselves for someone in need. Someone who I admire or think as a hero is Terry Fox. Terry Fox did not have any special powers but he was still very willing to help the people who suffer from cancer. Even with only one leg, Terry decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. This is one reason why I think him as a hero. Also Terry Fox is a hero to me because he was being selfless and brave. With one leg he started to run for people who needed help which I think is a very brave and selfless decision. Even after his death, people still remember him and all the things he had done. Due to how selfless and brave Terry Fox was, I admire and think him as my hero.

According to the story, Winston had started running away after his parents had divorced making me predict that that could have been a reason why he was running. So I think Winston ran away because he was under a lot of pressure and stress after his parents being divorced and being suspended from
