Unsung heroes

you’ve ever met a hero like a soldier, a role model, or an important person in your life you know that a hero is one that is noble and does the right things to help others not only there selves. Being a hero is when you’re selfless, brave, and humble. Heroes are the characters that learn the most and do the most affective actions.

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.

Many people consider heroes as someone with superhuman abilities, or as someone who wears a cape with tights and saves people from the most berserk situations. But as award winning author Jodi Picoult once said, “Heroes didn’t leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were possibly knotted, they

making decisions, selfless in all situations, and brave in all moments. Heroes are wise people who lead others down the right path by making the right decisions themselves,but these decisions go unnoticed most of the time. Heroes are sometimes just kids making the right decision not to smoke or a hero could be a guy helping an old lady across the street. Heroes do not always have to have superpowers and wear a cape. Heroes can be just everyday people doing the right thing.But a true hero does not

The strange event happened on October 29, 2026 on a cool autumn day in Station Square, Massachusetts. Channel 200 had been showing the mishap all day long. The news reporter hurried to the ruined party store and spoke to the store’s owner. The owner seemed very horror-struck to the reporter. He told the news reporter all about the catastrophe that had occurred. ‘’this afternoon started off normally, nothing new at all.

When hearing the word “Satan”, people often think of a red man with horns, a pitchfork, and a tail; he is often visualized in the pits of the underworld surrounded by flames. Why does society picture him this way? Some may say “Because he is evil” or “Because he fell from heaven”, but people mostly believe this because this is what they were taught. Satan is a figure appearing in many texts of religion as someone who brings evil and temptation. He is known as the deceiver who leads humanity astray

confirming it has the potential for a large, loyal audience base. Aristotle and philosopher, David Hume, have been proven wrong, stating their belief that the antihero model would never succeed. David Hume claimed these antiheros or in his terms, “rough heroes” would be unsuccessful because “we are displeased to find the limits of vice and virtue so much confounded” and we are not able to “bear an affection” for characters “we plainly discover to be blameable.” So why do so many serial narratives centered
