A Hero Lies In You “To infinity, and beyond”, a common phrase used by a well known hero called Buzz Lighter. A hero can be described in many different ways. Many people consider a hero as someone who is handy, brave, trustworthy, strong, faithful, or even powerful. In Julia Lavaliere’s “In the Time of the Butterflies”, sisters known as the Miramar sisters were described as heroes of the Dominican Republic. The sisters went out of there to do what was right for their country, and died in the process.

A hero can be anyone. A few heroes that come to mind are mothers, batman, and Dry. Martin Luther King Jar. Mothers can be considered a hero to several people, young and old. An author once said, children see mother as “creators, god-like beings who nourish and mend”(Poe), such heroic features. A mother is hard to replace, making her a unique hero. A good mother provides love and comfort for a child who looks up to her. Moms are everywhere, but it takes a superdome to satisfy everyone, and be faithful to many when called upon.

A famous hero that has been on several cartoons is Batman. With Batman in mind, brings up the point that every hero needs a sidekick. Two trustworthy heroes are more than enough. Batman can be extremely trustworthy considering being around since 1939, a well known hero. Batman demonstrates trust by “promising on the graves of his parent’s, that he would rid the city of evil “(Tart). Batman protects the lives of many citizens, from a nemesis known by The Joker. Bravery is another characteristic people look for in a hero.

Dry. Martin Luther King Jar. Was a brave man. Being a leader in the African American Civil Rights Movement, Dry. King fought for civil rights not only for blacks, but for everyone. Dry. King stood before thousands of people in 1963 to deliver the “l Have a Dream” speech. Dry. King wanted for people to be “Judged by their character and not the color of their skin” (King). Martin Luther King is a hero for being brave enough to inform others of a dream he had that would change the world. Anyone can be a hero.

Heroes are good people sousing on the well being of others, but some get the “Big Head”. When heroes get the big head, they think everyone and everything revolves around them. This is not the ideal view of a hero that the world should look up to. Over time, the idea of a hero has evolved around celebrities and well known characters. Heroes use to be thought of as an average everyday person. A common concept of what makes a person a hero is someone who “does something to change some one’s life for the better” (Stewart).
