The word has come to encompass as many definitions as there are possible configurations to a deck of cards. Some think of a hero as someone with powers beyond ordinary people. Others think of them as people who embody exceptional character. Still, many more consider heroes as people who help the world reach ideals in government, medicine, chemistry, technology, and a thousand other fields. However,…

Or maybe even the bad guys they defeat, or they're catch phrases? Truth is, heroes come in all different shapes and sizes, and what some consider to be heroic others may consider to be degenerate. In the story "A+P" Sammy quits his job in order to become a hero, but he didn't quite accomplish this goal.…

What is the first thing that pops in your head when you hear the word, “Hero?” Do you imagine a buff man wearing tights? Do you imagine a superhero saving kittens from trees? The concept of heroism isn’t only in comic books and stories. In our society, there are heros everywhere. They don’t wear tights, they don’t have superpowers, they aren’t buff.

Does a hero have to have superpowers? Does a hero have to do something big to become recognized and memorable? A hero can be anyone and whoever makes you happy.

Spiderman not only exists in imagination, cartoons, or movies but also appears in reality. Some people work above passengers, out of buildings, and over one thousand feet in the air. Keeping the buildings clean and tidy is part of their job. What is more, their contributions embellish the look of the city and beautify everyone's life. They are called "Spiderman" whose jobs are heavy, risky and difficult. Their life might be not as vivid and adventurous as other typical characters in all the…

While growing up, we all came to know the names Superman, Batman, Flash, Ironman, and various others. We see these heroes with supernatural abilities and capes, but not all heroes don them.
