Heroes are all over the world characterized by their skills, wits, and minds; such is the case for James Show, a hero in a waffle house. The most obvious sign of heroism by Show is courage. Another telling display was willingness. In turn, this would mean he would also be an opportunist. Amid it all, he is a fast thinker. Without a doubt, James Show - being courageous, willing, an opportunist, and a fast thinker – has all the characteristics of a hero. Most outwardly seen and spoken of are…

My definition of a hero is someone who you can look up to and respect very well. My mom is my hero for many reasons. I consider my mother a hero because she’s strong, a teacher, a supporter, and caregiver. First, my mom is very strong. My mom is strong because everyday she fights with Bipolar. Bipolar is a mental issue where she could be happy then sad the next minute. Another reason that she is strong is having to help with my brother that has the same problem as her, except that he has…

Although the true definition of a hero is somewhat debated, the…

Being a hero is does not always mean you have superpowers or you wear a cape, you can just be a common person and be a hero at the same time. You could just be the mom who helps their kid with school work or the kid who wants to do well in school. The mom and the kid who don’t want to do those things are not heroes, but they should try and be them. Heroism is helping others,…

When Tim Mcgraw says…

It is true that the best way to understand society is to examine the people they choose as their heroes or role models, no matter what type of hero one considers, whether it is someone universally admired or someone who is supported by only a certain group. Heroes and role models reflect what society believes to be ideal, and even if that hero is not really what they are shown to be in the media, society picks someone based on the image they see. Acknowledging that ideal picture, even if it is…
