The dictionary definition of a hero is someone who is admired of their achievements or their noble qualities. To me, the definition of a hero is someone who helps people and is caring. In this world there are so many people mistaken for heroes. One example of a “hero” is O.J. Simpson. O.J was best known for being the running back of the Buffalo Bills and was nicknamed “The Juice”. Although he was a Heisman Trophy winner he was also a major suspect of a murder case involving his wife and her new boyfriend. Even though all the evidence was there he was found innocent and never went to jail. OJ Simpson was an amazing football player, but he should be judged by everything he does not just his achievements. One person I think is a hero in all realms is Walter Payton. A little after Simpson retired Walter came and played football for the Chicago Bears. Very quickly into his career he was given the nickname “Sweetness” which describes his personality in one word. Walter inspired his team and community. Every Christmas him and his wife helped the underprivileged children around the Chicago area. Walter said “I want to be the guy who is always remembered for giving his all whenever he was on the field”. I think that this quote shows his respectfulness of the sport and his kindness for others.
There are so many real life heroes, the next hero I admire is Martin Luther King Jr. King was an American rights activist and was a leader in the African-American civil rights movement. King wanted to end racial segregation, but being African American himself he had to overcome many challenges. Many people were disgusted with King wanting both whites and blacks to be treated equally. He always had the strength to push on and keep fighting for wha...

...s how Ender has come to except that he is not the Ultimatum and that he can be defeated. I think Graff said this to prepare Ender in case there was disappointment. Ender is a fictional hero because he wanted to help save the human race and make his family proud.
Heroes come in many different shapes and forms, but all of them are equally important. I always remember that there are heroes everywhere you turn and that not all of them are celebrities. All of the heroes I talked about are major parts in American History and how America became the free country that it is today. Even though Ender was a fictional character I think he could fit in as a real person saving all of us. The dictionary definition of a hero is someone who is admired for their achievements or their noble qualities. My definition of a hero is someone who helps people around them and is caring.
A person who overcomes antagonistic and unnecessary issues in a mature and powering manor. That is the definition of a hero to me. Someone who is being hurt and sees others hurt from the actions and takes charge and does everything in his power to change it. Someone who puts others before themselves and acts in the most chivalrous way. The definition of a hero is different for everyone. Some one might think of a hero as someone who can lift a car and put it on their back, or gives a dying person their kidney. Yes all of those people are forms of hero’s. You can’t tell someone that they are not a hero just because they don’t change into a disguise in a telephone both or can throw lightning bolts from a cloud. Everyone is a hero in their own way.
In my opinion, a hero is someone whose principal purpose, whether it be in one situation or over the span of their entire life, is to help others while simultaneously making the world a better place. When the word hero is brought up, the most prevailing image that comes to mind is superheroes like Batman and Superman. But I don’t think you have to have superpowers or even be well known in order to be a hero. There are people all over the world whose intention is to do selfless deeds and go out of their way for others without expectation of obtaining anything in return. These are the type of people I like to consider everyday heroes. They go through life just trying to be the best they can and trying to help as many people as they can. Whether
Being a hero means to be willing to risk your life for others. Such as, Pat Tillman. Pat Tillman was a fantastic football player and he loved playing it too. Despite that, Pat Tillman turned down a 3.6million dollar contract to the Arizona Cardinals to go fight the war against terrorism. He ended up dieing from friendly fire. All this goes to show how brave Pat Tillman was to risk his life and give up his football career to go fight in Afghanistan to help protect the American people. Likewise, the people that helped evacuate New York City after the
First of all, Ender was known throughout the book to have great potential. He wasn’t an ordinary kid. He didn’t even have to pay attention in class, like in chapter one it said, “The teacher would know of course, that he wasn't paying attention, but she wouldn’t bother him. He always knew the answer..” Everyone knew he was outstanding. Even his classmate, Bean said so when Ender was explaining how the teachers were trying to break him. “You’re the best, Ender.”, he said as encouragement. On top of all that, Ender had entered Battle School at the early age of six and was constantly promoted early. He was youngest to ever become a commander of his own army. He was given many difficult challenges to face in the battle room, challenges that no one else could handle. No matter how badly these ‘games’ messed with his brain, he never failed to win. He was later graduated to Command School. This made him the youngest graduate of Battle School. Ender, was truly a genius. His strategic victories, triumphs, determinatio...
Heroes are what inspire other people to do good. They fight courageously for what they believe in and feel passionate about, even if they are fighting alone. They can be defined as someone with special achievements
A hero is someone who can portray courage when faced with a particular problem, able to assist others in certain ways and give them strength when faced with life's difficulties. In modern society, it is difficult to identify someone another individual can look up to as a hero. It takes a special person and quality to for others to follow and look up to without worrying that they can be led astray. A hero is someone who is able and willing to fight for everyone's freedom and to lay his life down for others (Kazin, 2013).
I consider a hero someone that has done great things. There are different opinions in what a hero is but to me , being a hero is one who accomplishes hard goals, standing up for their own rights, doing things that are extraordinary. Muhammad Ali-Cassius Clay is someone that fills my standards of a hero. Muhammad Ali has accomplished hard goals by getting medals in the Olympics. Muhammad Ali had to stand up for his rights when he started to box. He has accomplished things in his life that would be very hard for me to accomplish. Muhammad Ali has done things that I think are very magnificent. The thing Muhammad Ali has done makes him a hero to me.
A hero is someone who works hard to achieve goals while making the right decision. For example a hero inspires other people to do the right thing. Tristan Seger, a man who had lost his in leg in the military, inspires people everyday to push through rough times. In the article Soldier home after losing his leg in Afghanistan states “I just kept telling the doctors that I didn’t want my life to be different than it was before.” After Seger lost his leg he still continued life by running marathons, wearing shorts, and driving his car with a special pedal made just for him. A hero is also someone who helps people, because they want to. For instance doctors save people’s lives everyday. They work so hard everyday to try and find cures for
In my opinion, a hero is someone who is noble, selfless, brave and honest. A hero is someone who fights for their beliefs no matter what happens. They put the needs of others before themselves and is dedicated into helping others. He/she contributes to humanity and is always aware of the different consequences, good or bad, that can occur as a result of their actions.
Webster’s dictionary defines a hero as any man admired for his courage, qualities or exploits, especially in war. Some people attribute the term hero mostly to war. My personal definition of a hero is someone who takes a stand against evil or an unjust cause. The term hero can be applied to anyone, it isn’t necessary to save the world from explosion to be a hero. The act of standing up for a friend can also be called a heroic act.
Who is a hero? In contemporary times, usage of the term has become somewhat of a cliché. Over the years, the term “hero” has become representative of a wide variety of individuals, each possessing differing traits. Some of the answers put forth by my colleagues (during our in-class discussion on heroism) as to whom they consider heroes pointed to celebrities, athletes, teachers and family members. Although the occupations differed, each of their heroes bore qualities that my classmates perceived as extraordinary, whether morally or physically. Nonetheless, Webster’s defines “hero” as “a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities.” Thus, it is worth considering that individuals become heroes relative to the situation with which they’re faced.
A hero is someone who invests their time helping others rather than themselves. They are always conscious of their surroundings and environment. Heroes help their enemies and friends regardless of the circumstances. A hero is also someone who is humble and knows when to be protective of others and themselves. Heroes are people who acknowledge flaws, and fix mistakes, those were my own definition of a hero. In “Undocumented Immigrant”, Jose Antonio Vargas tells the truth about his illegal status in the United States. Not only was he an immigrant in the United States, he was his own hero. Vargas proved that he is a hero through code switching, bravery and honesty.
A hero is a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal. John Barth, an American novelist, once wrote, “Everyone is necessarily the hero of its own life story” (FamousQuotes.com). Julia Child was her own hero, she is now a legacy in the culinary industry, she not only inspired America to begin cooking French food, but she also became a role model to housewives and working women alike.
What is a hero? Is a hero someone that is the same for each person, or is it for each person different? Does someone’s hero depend on their perspective? Do all heroes need superpowers or something that puts them above the regular human? While those are arguable one thing is for sure heroes are based of heroism, and heroism is “Great Bravery” as defined by google. A hero is anyone who shows great bravery and is uses courage, a hero can be anybody, there is no true definition of what a true hero, and because it could all change because of your point of view or perspective.
To each person the word “hero” has a different connotation. Some people think of a superhero, someone who protects the innocent with great powers. Others think of the half gods of greek mythology, who go on great quests and perform great feats of bravery. To me a hero is someone I look up to and inspires me. I think a hero is a person who does what they enjoy, and uses that to help others. Someone I view as a hero is Elentori. Elentori is an self-taught artist on tumblr who inspired me to be an artist. She is a huge inspiration to me and someone I look up to.
