A Heroic Essay : What Makes A Hero

A hero is someone who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Today, hero’s still do exist. Most of the time whenever you hear the word “hero” you automatically think of a superhero which is okay, but those are not the only hero’s. People do not have to fight battles to be a hero, you can be one by helping someone out, being somebody a person looks up to, or simply someone who made a change for the world.

take to the hospital (or at least that's what my brothers tell me they are), and I want to watch out my window! Oh! And dad just came home from work in London! It's a little early for him to be home, so I'm going to go and ask him how his day was. *Walks to the dining area to ask how his day went* He says he felt really hot during his day and grew tired, and it turns out, he has a slight fever. I got to go and tend to him for a little while, see you

“I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people” (Maya Angelou). Growing up, everyone was once taught that the ‘heroes’ were the ones who brandished a cape. But that as it may, true heroes are also everyday people. These heroes take on a different role, as instead of flying, and battling the evil, they endure hardships, and face struggles. However, like the heroes we’ve originally learned, these people are those who are selfless, and refuse to back down. Our heroes strive for the best in everyone, and everything, without thinking of the reward and outcomes. With strong determination and perseverance, true heroes have the will to help others despite the risks, and work toward the greater good without the crave of becoming rewarded.

At a young age and even today we all have a hero; it can range from a character in movies to video games even into literature. Throughout my life I have never been one to enjoy reading or watching movies, my daily activity was playing video games meaning all the heroes to me where inside a video game. Growing up playing numberless different videos games you get a taste at such a diverse variety of worlds, story line, environments, and even items. That being, I have come to learn about quite a bit of characters and some have really stood out in being extra heroic in their actions or just being cooler than the other; Master Chief (Halo), Mario (Super Mario Bros.), and Link (Legend of Zelda).

There are many types of heroes (such as the ones in comic books, myths, movies, or even just everyday life heroes) but all of them have perseverance when they’re going through a conflict. Heroes are role models and they’re people that we look up too. They all have unique and special qualities that make one another different from each other. For example policemen battle crime everyday and when they’re overcoming a conflict they have determination, courage and other traits that people admire them for and that make them as a hero. Typically a hero is admired for their achievement/actions and qualities.

What do you think of when you hear the word hero? Ohhh wait, you are probably thinking cool people with cool powers. And I know some people in my family think cool people with cool powers, So I actually asked 5 of my family members and 4 of them said superheroes, except for my dad, he said “I think a hero is someone who puts others ahead of themselves.” After I heard that it really gave me a new perspective on what a real hero is. In the next few minutes I will tell you about what it means to be a hero, heroes in my life, and finally what you can do to be a hero.

Throughout time and literature hero’s have not changed physically but the people who are looked to as hero’s has. A hero is someone who goes above and beyond what is required to help someone in need. Hero’s come in many shapes and sizes, and carry many similar but different qualities. Hero’s are kind people who truly care for others without any alterrior motives. People who care and donate their time, energy, love, and kindness to others. Also a person who is brave, daring and courageous are considered hero’s.

What is a hero to you in your eyes? A hero to me in my eyes is someone like a soldier or a veteran who has sacrificed everything for us to keep us safe. A hero is also someone who has deep motivation to keep themselves and their family safe throughout the battle. A hero is someone who is brave, strong, kind, giving and caring. Heroes are people who always want to help with things and make sure things are good for people and themselves.

Heroes are not people in comic books or movies. Heroes are people who protect the innocent and punish the guilty. They are all around us, but we do not always recognize them. We do not appreciate the sacrifices they make in able to keep us safe. Look at police officers always taking time from their families, working to keep the rest of us out of harm’s way. There are military officers deployed to help other countries in need and help them fight their enemies. Due to these brave actions, we are a strong and independent country. Heroes must possess imperative qualities that define them as above average such as humbleness, courage, and tenacity

“She needed a hero, so that is what she became”, is a quote commonly known, but do you ever really think about what it means? It means that when no one was there for that person, they became the hero that they wanted, and helped others around them. Everyone needs a hero, no matter what they say. There are many different situations and scenarios that anyone or anything could use a hero.

Have you ever considered what an everyday hero looks like? A hero can be a policeman, a firefighter, it can even be you and me, or it may even be our mom and dad, and also a hero can be anybody in the world that makes a difference. A hero is when somebody is when somebody needs help a hero helps them in any way necessary, even though the hero might have a few struggles along the way.

Many people would say that a hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities, like it says in the definition; but to me a hero is also someone to look up to or aspire to be. Heroes have special qualities that make them heroes; they could be inclined in a certain sport you play, or they could have been valedictorian in their high school class. They could have written your favorite book or taught a class in school. Either way, your hero could be anyone. They might be someone you follow on Twitter or Instagram. They could be someone you watch on YouTube, or an author, or an athlete. They’re possibly a famous musician, a cosplayer you really like, one of your teachers, or even your mom or dad.

Introduction- A hero is a man who puts others before him because he wants to make friends. A hero is confident in himself, sometimes they will be willing their lives for the greater good. They try to stay persistent when it comes to them doing something.How do we know when is someone is a hero? When they face challenges with pure determination, but don’t save or satisfy everyone in the end. It blows us away every time a hero can fix a sticky situation, but it is more important to know what the hero is doing for the protection of everyone else.

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself” (Campbell 1). When we think of heroes most of us think of movie stars or professional athletes, but it’s not always about your popularity or talent it can also be about how you help society. What I think make a great hero is someone who is able to overcome his or her obstacles in life, is highly motivated, and has plenty of bravery.

There are many ways to define or describe a hero. I would describe a hero in my own words as a person with an impressive strength of characteristics to be defined as a hero. Heroes are admired for their bravery and the great courage that they show others such as an everyday hero. An everyday hero can be someone such as your mother, father, or even a fireman, etc. who has a eager compassion to serve others.
