Heors.

This piece of art was done by Hu Ming. This art resembles a heroic act because first of all fighting in the army makes a person a hero. They are fighting for to others to protect others. The women in this photo is a hero herself separate from the men because she is fighting as the only women with a bunch of men. She is taking a stand for her gender. She is the only women fighting and she is proud to fight.

Most of the heros I am seeing from The Boston Globe and The New Yorker consist of people who are acting as heros in movies. One article juxtaposed the difference between a hero and an anit- hero.

What does it mean to be a hero? To be a hero means to achieve something helpful. A hero does something good thats not done for oneself. A hero helps others to achieve or feel better about themselves. A hero steps in when nobody else will. Think about all the movies where a hero plays a big role. The movie that comes to my mind right away is the Incredibles. That movie is all about different kinds of heros and their superpowers. Maybe you dont have a superpower that gives you crazy speed or makes you invisible. But never the less you can be a hero even by an act of kindness. Saving a suffering stuck cat from a tree is a heroic act. To qualify as a hero one does not need to save the world from the evil guy who is trying to ruin the world. Life is not always an action movie. Heroic acts is done by somebody who cares and somebody who wants to help. A heroic act can range from someone helping an elder cross the road to someone risking their life to save others.
