The Definition Of A Hero In Fearless By Eric Blehm

As people ponder about heros, superheroes or Benedict Arnold, valiant and lionhearted attributes make a hero there whole. Benedict Arnold lead his troops into dangerous settings such as “morasses, thick woods, and over mountains,” but he never backed down and was determined to succeed (Sheinkin 78). Throughout all of the barriers, Benedict Arnold prevailed even when the Dead River was not so dead. After rainfall for several days, Benedict Arnold and his fellow soldiers arrived to a huge flood; “the endless rain was slowly bringing the river to life” (Sheinkin 67). Although a major problem, Arnold courage pushed through the water. A threatening “hurricane [was] sweeping inland,” but Benedict Arnold continued to fight for his country like a true hero (Sheinkin 67). Courage in Benedict Arnold’s life is great even when the situation is critical and alarming as being a

“I didn’t do anything special, but if the progress I have made motivates another wounded veteran to keep going, then that’s great” (Fiege). Eugene Segers is a soldier that lost his leg in Afghanistan. He got home and got the treatment he needed, but he never stopped moving forward. He was determined, he did not stop doing things because he only had one leg. Now he is a hero because he is inspiring people to let nothing stop them no matter what happens. Also, Segers has the characteristics, leadership, and bravery. He is a leader because he is setting a good example for others that are going through rough times like him. He is brave enough to keep moving forward after going through all this pain. Since heroes need to face the challenges ahead of them, they have to have leadership, bravery, and kindness.

In the novel Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers, true heroism is shown throughout many events in the story. One of the many characters in the book, Lt. Carroll, was said to show heroism before the main character, Richie Perry, came to the war. Another example of heroism by Lt. Carroll is when he was trying to lead his squad to safety but ended up getting hit himself. The third way Myers showed heroism is when Monaco, one of the squad members, was captured by the enemy and Richie and Peewee, another one of the squad members, saved him.

Courage and selflessness are words that describe heroes. Mundane people can be heroes when they have enough perseverance to do extraordinary tasks. They sacrifice their needs for others. Frederick Douglass was a brave, honorable and bold abolitionist, his heroism was impactful and it changed the mindset of many people.

In conclusion, all three of the characters are heroes regardless of their quirks. They all made unselfish acts no matter the repercussions. After reading this book, I realized that valor should not be classified, I believe every generous act should be valued because if there is one point I cultivated from this astonishing book, is that we are all human at sunset after

“ A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown .” When a hero keeps on going and never stop trying that makes them a hero.When a hero puts there life at risk just to save another life, even though it could mean losing their own that makes them a hero. Someone who goes through great challenges but never stops trying is a hero. Ahero is not someone who gives up or someone who is selfish.Heroism is being selflessness, someone who makes sacrifices, and someone who never gives up.

In poetry and in song, literature, and action movies, the hero embodies the qualities of bravery, strength, and honor. According to Merriam-Webster, a hero is a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability: a warrior: a person admired for achievements and noble qualities: one who shows great courage. While others define this concept as a trustworthy cause a selfish or unselfish act. On the other hand, a hero is someone who stands for integrity and justice for all mankind and willingly put his life in peril for that belief. As noted there will always be different definitions of a hero as of the diverse perspective on the issue.

God has a reason for everything in life. Sometimes we do not understand his reasoning, we just have to stick to his plan and trust that he has put us on the right path. He sends people into your life to be your hero, to save you. In the novel Fearless, every person that came into Adam Brown’s life, plays the role of a hero in some way. Many people in this novel played the role of a hero, each in their own unique way.

In the novel ‘Heroes’ it is shown that there is no such thing as a real hero, because everyone has a weakness, Cormier uses Larry LaSalle, Francis Cassavannt and the veterans as a way to convey this message. The protagonist Francis is portrayed as having both heroic and cowardly personality; this forces the reader to consider what makes a real hero. To some people a hero might be someone with great strength or ability. Perhaps someone admired for their great achievements or great qualities. But in this case it is someone who is admired for their great courage and nobility a man in contrast to Francis Cassavant.

Adam Brown is a hero to many, but if it was not for his parents and wife he would not be the hero he is today.

In “Drummer Boy of Shiloh”, Joby self-doubts himself and faces his fears and then goes into battle, “Me, thought the boy, I got only a drum, two sticks to beat it, and no shield“(Bradbury 21). The poem “A Man” tells how when he lost his arm , “ and where the arm had been torn away a wing grew” ( Cassian 56 ). Heroes show exceptional bravery in battle and in real life. Some heroes do not fight battles but are everyday people, an example of this, would be a fireman risking their life to save another. Frederick Douglas is an example of heroism because he shows Mental, physical,and emotional courage throughout his autobiography. For instance, Douglas writes in his autobiography,” I was yet liable to be taken and subjected to the horrors of slavery.”(Frederick Douglass

“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.

Heroes are not always people who lead marches or do things for their country. For example policemen, firefighters, nurses, lifeguards etc. are heroes everyday because they take the time to save lives. When they’re going through a challenge or trying to overcome a conflict they always have courage. These people risk their own life to save someone else’s. To be more specific Dr. Ginger Holt from Dallas had saved a little boy’s leg. She was confident and determined to finding out what went wrong in the boy’s leg and went through many procedures looking at the tests.
