My definition of a hero is someone who Heroism to me means a person who would never give up on a task that they must strive to accomplish, a person who will give their all to conquer their fears and complete their task with all the will they have. To me, anyone could be a hero. If they strive to conquer the task at hand and push themselves to keep going no matter what the circumstance. A person, typically anyone, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or…

A hero is defined as someone who is admired or idolized for his or her courage and outstanding achievements or actions. A hero is not a coward and will not back down to any challenge they know they can face A hero knows when he or she has given his or her best, he or she will not go above and beyond to satisfy everybody. A hero is anybody willing to put other people before themselves. There could be a hero sitting next to you on the bus or even in the same class as you. Homeless people are…

Heros are not always depicted as huge and muscular like the ones featured in fairytales, but that does not mean that they are any less of a hero because a hero is someone who is able to learn from themselves and others to make a situation better. In Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, an Indigenous teen named Junior is able to become a hero while he faces many conflicts in his life using his heroic traits. Through Junior’s courage, he is willing to make unusual…

We see a hero as someone who is admired for his or her courage, achievements, or noble qualities. We define a hero as someone who is morally upstanding, and who fights for the greater good. Everyone loves the hero, and hates the bad guy. In reading the different literary works of art, I’m finding that a hero is incredibly hard to define in one simple sentence. In literature, the hero has a journey that he or she must go in in order to be considered a hero. This journey is usually one that isn’t…

A hero is someone who will not only help others but will do something that would endanger themselves to the same dreadful fate as the victims. The term hero can be applied to the Holocaust heroes that assisted and helped Jews survive from the Nazi.These heroes relayed information,rescued, and flew Jews into safety but they were not only in their operation, they had support from other good people at heart to attempt and save Jews from dying. Gino Bartali, Varian Fry, and Irena Sendler are all…

When you think of the word, “Hero,” what’s the first thing that pops in your head? Do you think of your parents, a friend, or even a fictional character? Well, when I think of the word, “hero,” I think of a certain person, and that person is Yona. Yona is a fictional character in a show called, “Yona of the Dawn.” She goes through many harsh times to reach her point to show that women can aswell be powerful, use weapons to fight, and several other important things. The story of Yona begins very…

Heroes Are Needed The meaning of a hero to me is someone who can be looked up to and can do the right thing to lead others. I think heroes are very much needed by everyone. Scott T. Allison states “Heroes bring light into a dark world” (Scott Allison 10 Reasons Why We Need Heroes pp.2.2.6). Heroes are needed because we need people who can lead us in the right direction, give us a sense of safety, and give us hope. Primarily, heroes are examples of role models, they guide us into…

Did you know that Batman, Superman, Iron Man, or even the Hulk are not the only heroes out there? A hero is imagined as someone who is strong, big, and has ‘superpowers’. Although this is a common misconception however, anyone can be a hero no matter what their size is or what abilities they have. A hero is someone who goes out of their way to help others who need it. People need heroes to help them with struggles they may have that they cannot solve themselves. Heroes do what we cannot do for…

facing the tree looking beyond into the black abyss and twinkling lights. I pull out my grandpas fly fishing book like I do every year. I read the cover, “ The Complete Angler” by James Prosek. Every year I can never seem to finish the book but I get closer every year. This time I skip ahead to where I stopped last year. James Waldon’s trip through the Scottish country side looking for a rare species of native trout. The book is way ahead of my level but my level of fishing knowledge is there to…
