To be a hero, to me, means being courageous and fighting for what you believe in. Not all heroes are hidden behind a mask and cape. Ones hero could be a doctor, firefighter, or even someone who stands up to a bully for them. In both movies and book there are heroes and villains. But what about the people in the real world who's battles aren't against villains or evil machines to save the town or world. They might not even have special powers, for example, a cancer survivor. I could consider them heroes for battling it out with this disease a lot of us don't know much about or can relate to. Military parents are huge heroes but their kids are too. They struggle because they don't always have their mom or dad around like a majority of us do. Firefighters and doctors save lives every day but don't get the recognition for it like heroes in the movies. To me being a hero isn't about capes, tights, and powers, it is about courageously dealing with whatever you "evil villain" is because there are plenty of heroes among us. Most of the time we just don't see them.

I agree with your thought on heroes. They don't necessarily have to have powers but just overcome something that they are struggling with. Like that example that you gave of cancer survivors. They had to deal with it and it wasn't their fault that they got cancer. To me, these kind of heroes are greater and braver. Like you said, many times, we're not able to see them but they are there. They should be recognized for their heroism.
ReplyDeleteI feel like too many people forget that heroes aren't just people with super powers and fancy suits. I really like how you included examples of everyday heroes that people tend to forget about and take for granted.
ReplyDeleteI liked the examples you listed for heroes, and I agree with what you said about heroes not always being the ones in capes.
ReplyDeleteI really like your prospective on heroism because its very true! people just think of heroes like Spiderman who shoots webs and then flies on them. That would be cool, but unfortunately life isn't like that. I also like how you gave examples of real life heroes who are people like moms. I couldn't have said this better myself.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you said. Heroes don't come in capes and masks, they might come in uniforms or even ordinary clothes! Most heroes like nurses or firefighters don't get the recognition they deserve, which they should.
ReplyDeleteYou really defined heroism in its right terms. Anybody is capable of being a hero just by following their beliefs or standing up for themselves. A hero can also be someone you admire or look up to and that person who you admire doesn't necessarily need a costume and inhumane abilities.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, a hero isn't just someone who wears a mask and cape. A hero is someone who is valiant in a tough situation whether it is risking their life in the armed forces or simply standing up for what they believe in.
