Blog 9: Hero

Growing up there was a lot of heroes and super heroes around, like Batman, Superman and many more. But in reality is there a Superman that is going to save us? I think so. Even though they might not have super powers that can make them fly, have super strength, or anything like that. There are people in our everyday lives that can help us with our everyday things and can still be called a hero. When people say the word hero, what automatically comes to mind would someone from a comic book or the television, but the difference between the television/movies and real life is that in real life you won’t see monsters attacking the city or villains hurting the civilians, you would mostly always see a calm city basically boring compare to the ones in the movies. What makes up a hero is not someone who comes from outer space with super powers, is the people everyday policemen or firefighters that risk their lives to help us have a safer neighborhood. A hero can also be your mother or father, those are human beings that have helped you and have watched over you since you were born, and they keep away from harm while giving you a warm loving home.

Being a hero is not just about fitting the hero’s character, being a hero is about doing heroic acts that are selfless and that will not always get you rewarded physically but mentally and in your heart you know you did a good thing so you are pleased with that. In example there are many policemen that I’ve seen that are not the nicest person I’ve known but they get their job done right. They would risk their lives to capture a criminal or risk their lives to save a civilian in need; I believe that is the true definition of a hero.

It doesn’t always have be someone who is a policemen or a firefighter it can also be close family, because close family or your parents will always care for you and keep you safe from any harm they have caring, selfless and loving traits that many heroes that we see in the movies have. Our parents would never let us go anywhere that they don’t think would be safe for or anywhere that we would be placed in any harm; I believe that most of the parents are heroes because they would protect their children with their lives and not care much about what happens to them, and if you see all the hero movies and all the characters that children look up they do the same thing for the civilians.

The definition of hero isn’t someone who has superpowers and can fly around saving the world from giant monsters, a hero is somebody who you can count on to be there whenever you need help, someone who will lend you a hand and keep out of any trouble, and In this day and age we have a lot of people that we can classify as heroes.
