The title hero is given to people for multiple reasons.

In our society, everyone desires a heroic reputation. Whether it brought an inward joy, or a reputable outward facade, exemplifying a hero developed into something everyone longed to do. This ambition remains today. However, obtaining a hero-like persona constitutes much more than saving a cat from a tree or helping an elderly woman cross the street. A hero not only affects the direct person in need of help, but the many around as well. In order to have the classification of a hero, one must adopt a courageous, determined, selfless, and inspiring attitude while also attaining an opportunity to show heroism.

She goes starving for days. Whenever she tried resisting their orders, she is threatened that she would be killed and in one instance, one woman even hits her with a stick. She made clothes or hats for the papoose and got food in return. In spite of the hardships she had to face, the Amerindians were kind to her in many ways.

The word hero holds significance for many. A hero is usually someone who is idolized or admired for the brave and courageous things that they have accomplished. Roland was a very brave and skillful individual who accomplished many heroic tasks in his life including his loyalty to King Charlemagne, but his bold personality also got him into trouble and ultimately led him to death. He maintained an honor and loyalty that led him to a martyr’s death, though. Although he was disliked by many, including Ganelon who was his own father, he came to be known as a great man in history and he played a major role that helped shaped medieval times. His temper and bold attitude are just a few attributes that helped propel him forward in his successful, heroic lifestyle.

What exactly is a hero? A common pedestrian might say a hero is someone who goes out of their way to help people. A child may say that a hero is someone who performs valiant deeds. Merriam-Webster Dictionary itself has 3 definitions of a hero: “a person who is admired for great or brave deeds or acts,” “a person who is greatly admired” and “the chief male [or female] in a story, play, movie etc.” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). In a literary situation, a hero is defined as one with certain traits that follows the epic hero cycle. The epic hero cycle is a common literary tool used throughout the ages in famous epics, such as The Iliad and The Odyssey. It follows a simple pattern; a strong person, usually male and of noble birth, journeys on a long and treacherous quest, encountering many mythical beings along the way, and usually hitting a snag before their victory. John Milton’s Paradise Lost follows the exact same pattern, except with a character no one would expect: Satan. Satan exhibits many of the traits an epic hero while at the same time following the traditional epic cycle. Although he is not seen as a hero by many, Satan is indisputably the hero of Paradise Lost who follows the epic cycle down to the last detail: he is a powerful supernatural being of noble birth that is tasked with a long and treacherous quest and tested within that quest before his victory.

She shows us a family with a child where mother allows her infant to explore the world by himself. Navaho families live in their own personal autonomy where wealth may be a consequence of hard working and some skills. Additionally, from the childhood, children are responsible not only for household tasks but also for the given animals, therefore, they usually get an extra opportunity for getting independent. In Navaho’s families mother does not punish the child for mistakes, instead of this, she guides when child brakes the rules. Lee considers that "for Navaho moms, individual self-sufficiency implies that her kid has the flexibility to commit his own errors, to suffer, enjoy or have a happiness from the experience" . The mother takes the risk to abandon her infant to investigate individually, realizing that it could hurt the child.
Lee provides us with the understanding of usual behavior among Navaho Indians, in particular, that it is acceptable to have this kind of relationships between people there.

The ancient Greeks had strict and strong values on what it meant to be a hero in their society. Individuals who wanted to be seen as a hero had to follow this standard in order to become and be seen as a hero. Being a skilled warrior was not the only requirement, one had to respect authorizes, both governmental and religious.

If they would kill someone it should be done swiftly ending the victim’s life as quickly as possible. These codes affected a how society viewed a hero greatly. It was a social responsibility to maintain one’s status and reputation. If one were to break the code or lost honor and glory in battle, they would feel as if meaning has been lost in their live.

Heroes are ordinary people who does not fly or wear super-protective suits, but inherits special traits and qualities which kindles them to accept the call to adventure as expressed in the Greek Myths. In Edith Hamilton’s Book ‘Mythology’, published in 1942, several characters including Odysseus from ‘The Adventures of Odysseus’ and the Argonauts from ‘The Quest of the Golden Fleece, demonstrates heroism in various ways for various reasons. Eventhough, several characters find it less challenging to be a hero due to the interventions of powerful and wise mentors, many other characters discover that it is indeed very challenging to be a hero due the necessity of developing crucial skills such as perseverance and courage. Heroes being ordinary people receive help from the Gods which lightens the challenges they need to face. Otherwise, they need to possess certain skills such as perseverance to help them pass through the obstacles. Likewise, being hero is challenging as one needs a heart of unbreakable courage to face these daring challenges.

Heroes can be anyone or anything, your cat or dog can be your heroes. I have seen may heroes in my life, seen people helping other in need and story about a person helping some kid in the darkest of hours. Superheroes in cinema have superpower and they do thing to protect, but in reality, superheroes are none existence. Heroes can be found in the world without superpower.

William Shakespeare once said, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Throughout history, there have been many heroes, as written by William Shakespeare, and each and every one have had to travel a different path to get there. Some are born into power, and others persevere through their struggles to become a hero, while yet others are forced by drastic occurrences to reassess their lives and they change into a hero because of it. A hero can be anyone from anywhere, but a hero always perseveres despite struggles, as well as displaying great determination, yet a hero is not always steadfast, and can at times be fickle.

I have only been here for three months. As the snow on the ground continues to grow, layer by layer, the hatred I have for my brother, Hans, grows. I am stuck in a numbing mindset with only my older brother to blame. I often think about the day when I saw him jump into the olive green truck back in ‘41. He was a hero, ready to save the day. As a young teenager, I was lost, and he was the beacon that led me to where I stand today. With that, the light from the beacon has now diminished as I look at his smug face. He no longer seems like the hero in the stories mother read at night, but rather the malicious, corrupt villain that haunted my nightmares.

The person that I consider a hero is one through his stories of bravery and respect for his country. I have sadly forgotten his name and I’m sure he has since then forgotten me, but his impact has left me with the highest respect for him and the dark times he went through. I believe he is a hero because he was able to overcome what was put in his way and not let it affect his attitude or optimism.

Her childhood was full of humiliation, beatings, and being treated like an animal, and this pushed her into a void that she would never be able to escape from, “She developed a lofty sense of injustice and the mulish, reckless streak that develops in Someone Small who has been bullied all their lives by Someone Big. She did exactly nothing to avoid quarrels and confrontations. In fact, it could be argued that she sought them out, perhaps even enjoyed them” (172). Knowing that as a girl she would have to keep on taking the punishments became reckless and would actually go and seek out fights so people would know that she is not to be messed with. Since Pappachi was so busy she had to find herself a husband, “Since her father did not have enough money to raise a suitable dowry, no proposals came Ammu’s way” (38). Even though Ammu did not have to get a husband she decided to show her reckless streak by settling for a man that proposed to her five days after they met. She

Kids growing up nowadays having superheroes play a big role in their lives. Some kids see their favorite hero as their role model even. Most superhero fans will defend their favorite hero to the best of their abilities, even if it goes against all logic. "Who would win in a fight?" A very common question that kids grew up asking each other about their favorite heroes. Even as adults some of us argue with each other about which comic company has the superior heroes.
