Embedded Assessment 1.1 “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer,” (Ralph Waldo Emerson). A hero is just like an ordinary person, but they make a choice to rescue someone, and put their life on the line. For instance, a hero is valiant when they need to be, sacrifices themself for another, and they don't put another in harm’s way.
A heroic person is undaunted by fearsome situations and uses courage when it is needed. When a hero sees someone in danger, they aren't quite a hero yet. They are just a regular person that springs into action to save someone. At the Primrose Daycare, a car crashed into a fence, almost running over some children. A teacher that was nearby “tried to shield the kids, [and] she got the brunt of it,” (NBCDFW, Injured in Crash at Frisco Daycare). This woman is a prime example of courage and her quick actions saved them all. Similarly, Frederick Douglass displayed this amount of courage as well. Frederick Douglass was a slave that had to be brave and escape himself and others from the wrath of slavery. This is what the people saved by Douglass think about him, “When it is finally ours, this freedom, this liberty, this beautiful and terrible thing...this man, this Douglass, this former slave, this Negro beaten to his knees, exiled, visioning a world where not is lonely, none hunted, alien, this man shall be remembered,” (Hayden 81). Frederick had to be strong and stealthy to make the journey to the North. Both of
The life of Frederick Douglass was as horrible and miserable as any other slave. However, since bravery was his most dominant trait Frederick’s life became the life of a hero. Born into slavery on the year of 1818, Frederick never really got to know his family and was separated at birth. Growing up, he knew that blacks like him were not supposed to be educated, or treated as well as the whites. This compelled Frederick even
Heroes come in different shapes, sizes, and looks. Maybe someone you saw on the street one day was heroic for saving someone’s life in a car accident. A hero to me is someone who can be brave in situations that aren’t so safe, and take a risk to make sure everyone is okay, no matter who
“A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply cares.” A quote from actor Debi Manzar. A hero is not just someone who receives praise. A hero is someone who truly helps another, even in a simplistic way. A leading cause for someone to be a hero can stay under the radar.
Do you know what a hero is or what it means? Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.” I personally agree with that quote, because my hero is my dad. A hero is someone who is brave, compassionate, and someone I can look up to.
A hero is a risk taker, brave, and confident human being. Heros aren’t justin comics they are all around us. Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas are both good examples of heroic people because they risk what they have and sometimes themselves to help others. In this case Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation, and Frederick douglas with freeing himself and getting others freed too.
The first trait of an epic hero possessed by Frederick was national heroism. National heroism means that you are recognized as a hero in your own country, as well as in others. This trait is shown when the author of a short biography of Douglass’s life states that “Three years later, after a speaking tour consisting of England, Ireland, and Scotland, Douglass published the first issue of The North Star, a
Frederick Douglass, American Hero Frederick Douglass influenced America and the world through his writing, speaking and powerful ideas on the equality of men, women and all races. Born in 1818 on a Maryland plantation (6), this enslaved boy would become an influential free man pivotal to changing a society forever. He was and continues to be a voice and face for the abolition movement, an activist for women’s rights, an author whose work is still studied today, and a very educated refined eloquent role model. Douglass worked his entire life to serve both his country and fellow man in his efforts to promote freedom everywhere; he is an American hero and icon. Early life
Frederick Douglass believed that all people were born equal, but he also believed that humans were not just automatically born free. He deduced that man has the innate instinctive ability to mold themselves into whoever they wanted to become. So, naturally self-improvement and education were two crucial aspects of Frederick’s life. To Douglass the most horrific thing about slavery was the fact that slaves were totally and completely precluded from and form of education, which prevented them from improving themselves. Douglass worked exceedingly hard to obtain an education in order to ultimately become a free man. Although he still had to physically escape slavery his education played a vital role in his journey to freedom.
A hero is a man of courage and ability who is admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. A hero is a person who does not come along very often in any time period. He is a special person, who is a step above the average person in the way that he handles any situation that may arise.
“ 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.
He was “beaten to his knees, exiled, visioning a world where none is lonely, none hunted,” . Douglass’s moral character is what makes him fight for what is right. He was lead to conquer his hardships and change the country for the better. Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass both encountered many tough challenges and did whatever they could to help the country; which makes them heroic. Different from Lincoln and Douglass, the antagonist from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets gives several examples of what a hero should never do on any account.
The crackling of the fire burning down the house. Screams yell out, as the firefighters bust down the door. Sweat dripping off their faces as they walk into the blazing building. The fireman pulled the boy out of the house. He carried the boy in his arms and the boy was crying in fear as they walked out. This firefighter was brave when he has to be. He walked into the blazing house to save someone when he could have got hurt too. Frederick Douglass was courageous when he escaped slavery and got his freedom back. Most of all a hero needs to be selfless and always put others first , before themselves. Although heroism involves being inspirational and brave, a hero also has to be responsible with what they are doing.

Leaders at my church often say, god wants his people to use their unique gifts and talents
“No hero ever believes that they are one” (Neal Shusterman). This quote can change the life of an individual. It can influence them to realize that anybody can be a hero and it may change the way they think about a hero they have. They might associate a hero with a friend who is popular but are very humble and kind. A hero doesn’t always have to have superpowers or fight evil. They can just be somebody who you look up to. Some icons people have are not always what they seem to be on the outside. Through reading novels and learning about historical and modern heroes it has become clear that heroes are the ordinary people who push through the challenges of life even if it’s really difficult, they are the people who are humble, but not all heroes followed the rules.
