Hero What is a hero? A hero to me is someone who is walking along the street and sees a woman being mugged or being beaten on, and that person saves that woman from the danger. A hero is someone who loves and takes care of their family and is always there for them and even for the people who are not family. The greatest hero to me is an unseen hero: How heroes are portrayed today: How did heroes come to be today? What needs to be done today to return the old hero? A hero is someone who puts their life on the line for all the right reasons and doesn’t think twice before acting. The greatest hero to me is an unseen hero: Someone who acts immediately with no thought of action and does not claim reward for it. An unseen hero for sees when …show more content…

People who play the game for fun but may not get anywhere in life with it. The fans, like in the book “Friday Night Lights” are the people of Odessa Texas. They have taken the game way too far and they threaten the coach of the players and the players themselves. These are not heros in my eye. But people who put their lives on the line for protecting our Nation from corrupt people, even though it may be for the worst reasons, these are my heros. These people are putting their lives on the line for their family, friends and people that they love. Even for those they don’t know.

It all starts with God and when He was punished and nailed on the cross to die for our sins. God is a hero to me because He died for us to forgive us and to create a better understanding of life for us and to provide a roadmap to life for us.. It has progressed from there as it had moved through Greek times. Greeks believed that family comes before all, and that you put yourself last. The Greeks had believed in the gods, and that they would protect them on their journey, but the the book “The Odyssey,” by Homer, Odysseus found that the gods had punished him for not worshiping them for helping him. Odysseus had found that to return back to his family he had to find the hero in himself for putting his family first and in his mind to take him home. That is a hero to me. Another example is the Anglo Saxon period after the Greek times. The Anglo Saxon’s had carried through the same thought and written tradition that you put glory for your king, glory for your ancestors, glory for your tribe or family, and finally and always at the bottom, was glory for yourself. In the book about the Anglo Saxon times, (“Beowulf”) Beowulf was the main character and he kept the thought in his mind that he would
