Journal #41- Hero

Heroes are the ultimate role models.  They are above the class of normal humans and seem to have superhuman qualities.  In today's society, heroes can be regular people, or they can be the super humans we see on TV.  This includes batman, superman, spiderman, and the list goes on and on.  My favorite fictional super hero is probably batman.  Really he is just a normal guy in a pretty awesome suit and car.  He has all this cool technology that makes him so much better than all the enemies he versus.  The new Batman movies are cool, which is why I like batman the best.  Now off the topic of super hero, and onto the topic of normal everyday heroes.  A hero can also be classified as a person who goes out of their way to help others.  This is a quality that less and less people seem to possess these days.  One normal hero that comes to mind was the pilot of the airplane that crash landed in the Great Lakes a few years back.  He kept his calm and was able to save a bunch of peoples lives with his quick thinking and actions.  Other heroes include members of the military.  They are willing to put their life on the line for the good of the United States.  Heroes in essence, represent something bigger than themselves.  They represent the ideals of good defeating evil even when faced with unprecedented odds.  In today's society most people just think of super heroes when the word hero is mentioned, but it is some much more than this.  Every person can be a hero, just by showing that they care more about others than they do about themselves.  Back of the topic of examples, another group of heroes include firefighters.  They are willing to put their life on the line for the good of the people they are trying to save.  By placing someone else as more important than themselves, they are a hero.
