A Hero As A Hero

“Hero.” When many people her this word, they think of people with superpowers and cape like Superman and Batman, who are actually “superheroes”. To be a hero, you don’t have to been gifted with supernatural abilities, or even natural talent; you just need to do right thing and/or help others, whether it be saving them from a burning building or cheering them up in their time of need. Heroes can come from anywhere, and even greasers or hoodlums can be heroes. Despite coming from rough neighborhoods and being shunned by society, not all greasers are law-breaking criminals. Take the greasers from S. E. Hinton’s book The Outsiders for example. Many of them could be considered heroes for their good deeds and heroic personalities. That is why I believe three of the greasers from The Outsiders, Dally, Ponyboy, and Johnny, despite looking like criminals, are actually heroes in many ways.

Ricky Martin once said, “Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Ghandi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity.” Almost anyone can be a hero, as long as they have the courage and the maturity to understand and respect those who they attempt to help. Despite the fact that a hero cannot save everyone, being heroic is about placing others before oneself and strive to help those who need it the most.

Are you a hero? Well I wouldn't know, You might not even know.A hero isn't always in tights and a cape ,but can be an ordinary person like you and me.

People think of heroism in a very different way.Individuals who hold specific positions or just people who are known by way of doing something to make a difference . Anyone can be a hero . It is just the way you carry and present yourself . Also it is what your intentions are, either  they are helpful and useless.

“A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” The characteristics of a true hero are how much courage they have and by how much he/she cares.

Imagine if you were in a world full of villains without superheroes. Life would be out of control. There would be no order. However, in my mind a true hero is someone who is a role model, someone with good character, and a positive person that others admire and imitate their actions. In other words, heroes are people with good character, strong role models, and people with positive outlooks.

To conclude, there is a plethora of qualities attributed to heros. Heroism is using one’s voice and authority to assist those around them and holds no underlying motives, expecting no reward for their good doings. Influencing humanity in a positive manner and providing guidance are suiting enough to be classified as a hero. Though seemingly different in all mannerisms, superhumans and humankind share these traits, all in all, proving anyone can be a

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, with many different capabilities, values and attributes. We see heroes’ every day; it can be a firefighter, police officer or even your parents. Heroes have been around for a long time all displaying the same skills and abilities, but as time passed heroes started to present values of their society. But what truly makes a hero? What values does the hero portray about society? We get a good understanding for this after analyzing Ancient Greek heroes like Odysseus. Ancient Greece society valued pride, and bravery as displayed by Odysseus. However, heroes today show more humbleness and selflessness, as our society has changed from the Ancient Greek society.

Heroes, despite their extraneous characteristics, have very similar values to the people that follow them. This point of view can best be explained using three key points of focus. These points are as follows: The similarity of a higher guidance in times of need, the similarity of the code of honor that they live by, and the fact that no matter who the hero is, he or she is under pressure to be a successful role model.

Superman, Batman, Ironman, Hulk, Thor, etc. All ‘heroes’ in the world, but not just superheroes are ‘heroes’. Everyone has the potential to become a hero, and heroism traits are a part of everyone. A hero isn’t always the strongest human being that risks their life, a hero is someone who makes a positive impact in someone else’s life and overcomes challenges.

As a young child, parents take their kids to the movies and watch superhero movies, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, and the list goes on. When the word hero comes to mind, one often thinks about someone with super heat vision. Someone with the ability to fly. someone who has super strength or someone who stops the villain and saves the day. Sometimes, if the hero if super enough, they win the girl too. However, why does a superhero have to have supernatural abilities to be considered a hero? Why can’t they simply be someone who puts the need of others before their own, someone who is courageous enough to sacrifice their life for the ones they love, or someone who does good deeds out of the kindness of their hearts.

Anyone can be a hero. Even someone who doesn’t want to be. A hero is some one who is brave and selfless. Someone who will stand up for what is right even when no one else does. You don’t have to have a cape or a cool name to be hero. A nurse, firefighter, and a police officer are all great examples of heroes. As long as you have a big heart, you can be an exceptional hero. A hero can come in all shapes and sizes. A dog, and a cat can be one. A seeing eye dog does a lot more than people realize. So if you want to be a hero, go help pick up someones stuff they dropped, because that would make you a hero to them.

Throughout my life there have been many different people who have influenced me to do the precise thing and have made a tremendous impact on my life and where I am at today. A hero can be interpreted in a variety of unalike ways and by a various amount of people, but the single and most important person who I consider to be a hero to myself would be my grandfather, Theodore Brown. My grandfather was not only a hero to me, but an inspiration.

Many people have an icon as their hero or inspiration. A big superstar with a huge fanbase that follows every move they make. In my opinion my hero is just as big, but much more important to me. My hero is a spectacular person, whom I have a very strong bond with. Someone who sits behind a desk 8 hours a day and still finds time to bring joy into the family. My hero is none other than my dad.

When I was young, my father and I would always spend the summer on the glistening white sand of the beach at the end of the road. We would splash knee-deep in the cold waves, kicking the water so that droplets of water sparkled like crystals in underneath the warm sun. We would lay on our backs and admire the sky and watch the clouds swirl into marvellous shapes. We would build sandcastles that had moats and bridges and imaginary soldiers that would spar with thrusting swords and swinging shields. These picturesque days went on and on. They were a constant cycle of deep blue skies, imprinted on my mind. My oldest memories are all full of my father in these moments, as he played in the warm sand and stretched out his frown lines. Now, as I stand on the very same beach, moving my toes in the same warm sand, fifteen years on, I can’t help but miss it. Miss him. I can’t help but miss him regardless of the pain he injected into himself and everyone else who cared about him in the years leading up to him leaving.
