    First, how they are similar. They both have many responsibilities, though Lisa enjoys them while Matty despises them. Matty and Lisa both have to rely on their own instincts, like the time that Grandfather died and when all the adults died for Lisa. They both stand up for their own opinions, like when Matty insisted that Grandfather should be buried with a prayer (“My head throbbed to the rhythm of the shovels biting into the earth. My hands decided what to do without consulting the rest of my body. I shoved the man who spoke to me, shoved him so hard he nearly toppled into the grave. . . I ran up to him and clenched the front of his shirt . . . “He was my grandfather. You will not bury him without a prayer.” I spoke slowly, with iron force behind every word.” –Mattie, Fever 1793.) and Lisa demanded that they should fight the gangs. Finally, they both have experienced death of loved ones. In Lisa’s story, all the

The reason for this is that there were many bad things that happened in their lives, and even though it was scary they push forward. Courage is one of the main qualities that people say when asked “What is a quality that a hero should possess?” We all what to be courageous, and when we see a “hero” being that, it makes us believe that we can be too. That is another good thing heroes do; they inspire us to, be courageous, to help somebody, or to not give up. "You blaze the trail.
