What Makes a Hero
My topic is about what makes a hero. What makes a hero is ability to help out in their community.
Heroes are those who put their life on the line in 911. Those people where true heroes. If I ask you to list some heroes in your heart, I bet you can list a lot. Yes, there are many heroes near or distant from us. But if I ask you what a “hero” is, what will you say? It's a kind of hard to give a definition, isn't it? When I check on the dictionary, it says a hero is a person who distinguished by courage, noble deeds, and outstanding achievements and so on. I won't say I disagree with that, but it misses something here. To be a hero, you do need to be brave to make differences, but you also need a full-love heart.

For this part I chose the topic of 911 & the Vietnam War.
911: thousand s of people were killed September 11th 2001. At 9:45 the towers fell and were in action. Soon the other tower fell. It wasn’t until 12 years after the incident happened that they found the person in charge. That person was Osama bin laden. He was shot and killed in his complex home. The heroes in this story were president Obama and the marines.

Vietnam War: Those people were heroes. All of these heroes gave up their lives for our freedom. If they weren’t able to fight in that war I would not writing this now. Thousands of people died just to save our lives. The Vietnam War was a Cold War-era military conflict that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war followed the First Indochina War and was fought between North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and the government of South Vietnam, supported by the United States and other anti-communist countries. The Viet Cong (also known as the National Liberation Front, or NLF), a lightly armed South Vietnamese communist-controlled common front, largely fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region.

    A hero is someone who shows courage, never gives up, and puts up a fight to the bitter end. A hero goes way beyond the call of duty, even if that means putting their own life on the line to save many others. The firefighters that ran into the World Trade Center truly demonstrated what a hero means to America. They went in not knowing what would await them, and many of them perished in the ruble. No one would have thought that the two twin towers would ever fall so easily. Even if the firefighters knew when the towers would fall over that they would have went in any ways save as many lives possible any ways. Over three hundred firefighters lost their lives weather it was trying to save someone or to put out the blaze on the 103 floor started by the jet fuel. Just soon after the first plane had crashed hundreds of other firefighters all over the New York City area rushed to the scene to help their fallen brothers or just to take part in any way possible.…

    By definition a hero is someone who shows great courage. Although this is true I believe a hero is much more than that. Heroes must poses and display bravery, selflessness, ability to act through fear and courage. Heroes do extraordinary things without hesitation, they know what needs to be done and they act on it. The thing that is most present in my memory today from 9/11 was the fear. Everyone was afraid, but no one around me knew how to act on this fear. Everyone knew something needed to be done but only the hero’s of 9/11 leaped into action. That brings me to two heroic men from 9/11.…

    Hero Definition Essay

    • 927 Words

    The definition of a hero is a relatively simple one; a hero is someone who positively impacts others through their actions and accomplishments. While we all have different views on who exactly we see as a hero, there are certain individuals, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln, who have undeniably changed the world and fit this definition. I have found that many of the individuals who society, and I personally, view as great heroes, share a certain set of traits that almost definitely had a large part in their accomplishments. This is why I believe that bravery, selflessness, and determination are three vital traits when it comes to defining what it means to be a hero.…
