Hero
The real definition of a hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. But my definition of a hero is someone who goes out of their way to do something good for the environment, the people, their community, etc. Characteristics of a hero is someone who has respect for any person, no matter color, religion, or look, they have to have leadership, as well as bravery. Such as your brother, mother, grandfather, or maybe even the U.S. military. I feel that the definition of a hero will never change over time because it's something that once you have, it's always in you. Maybe not going to the animal shelter every week to help adopt the animals, but could be something as little as picking that can on Coke next to your foot.
Hero
What is your definition of a hero? What qualities or characteristics does a hero have? Does the definition of a hero change over time?
My deffinition of a hero is someone who has helped someone else, saved someone else, or someone that alot of people look up to. The qualities that i see a hero having are nice, helpful, colorful, fast, genorouse, etc. The deffinition of a hero does not change over time because if a hero saves someones life, that doesnt change, they will always be a hero. Tats what i think a hero is made of.

Hero
My definition of a hero is someone who is responsible, trustworthy, reliable, and one who has confidence in himself. A hero should be a great role model for everyone to look up to and learn from. A hero, to me, is generally nice and respectful towards other, also they usually tend to be very hardworkers and very commited to the responsibilities they are given. The definition of hero does not seem to change overtime in my own opinion because all of the characteristics, qualities, and actions they have taken part in would never seem to change and explain an overall good person and in otherwords "hero".
Hero
A hero is someone that preforms good deeds to improve the community and world. There are my different hero's. Hero's are not only comic book characters, they are among us every day. People such as solderers, firefighters, peramedics, police officers, teachers, doctors, and many other people. They give to there comunity* without a selfish though. Theis are real hero's.

My defination of a hero would be someone that is kind and cares about others more then themselves, a person that offers help when they dont have to. Someone who is nice and caring and helps others when they need help. I dont think that a hero's qualities changes over time. I think that a hero will always be nice and caring of others.
hero
My definition of a hero is someone who does something good for someone else. They can be a person that just helps someone out in some way. They would have to care about everyone no matter who they are. A hero is also someone that I look up to. They have to be caring, loyal, and trustworthy. I don't really have a hero. Most people say that their hero is their mom and dad, but I don't really have one. My definition of a hero doesn't change over time. I will always think of a hero that helps someone in a good way.
My definitoin of a hero.
My definition of a hero is someone who I can look to if I need guidance. They are someone who will know the answer no matter what questions I ask. They are selfless, but still care about themselves. They are nice, but also have a mean side. They can be totally out there and crazy weird, but still maintain a level head. They are organized but still have some spontaneity. My vision of a hero may not exist in real life, and that might be why I don't have one, but if someone comes along with all these qualities I will most definitely look up to them.
Heroes
My definition of a hero is someone who you can look up to. Someone that is a role model to you. The characteristics a hero would have is, a nice person, kind, always there for you, responsible, and honest. This definition shouldn't change over time, because that person should always set a good example towards you and everyone around you. They shouldn't let you down ever, and should always be there for you no matter what the situation is. Your hero may sometimes make mistakes, but you shouldn't stop looking up to them. My mom is my hero because she always supports me in whatever I do, and makes me smile whenever I need someone to laugh at.
Heroes
My definition of a hero is not someone who saves the world, can fly, or has superhuman strength. My kind of a hero is some one who helps others, is a good samaritan(even when noboby is looking), and is a good role model. The definition of a hero changes at different times. A hero is always vigilant and helpful.
A Hero
My definition of a hero is someone who has a calling to do good, whether it's to help people or to help the world. Some characteristics a hero would have is to be gallant, heroic, brave, and selfless. This definition might change over time; it matters if the hero is static or dynamic, although it is unlikely they will change their heroic ways.
Hero
In my opinion, a hero is someone who stands up for what's right and laughs in the face of evil or trouble. Some traits of a good hero include regard for human life, kindness, generosity, respect, and honesty. All of these traits fall under the catagory of a righteous person. Heroes are also very concerned with the well-being of their community and environment. In cessation, these are all ideas that describe heroes.

Hero
To me, a hero is someone who does things to help other people. Heroes aren't just the people you see in comic books. They are normal, everyday people. For example, there could be someone trying to mug an old lady in a crowded city. Someone who calls the police and stops the crook could be a hero. Policemen, firefighters, and doctors are also heroes because they save lives every day.
I don't think the idea of a hero changes over time. Someone could have been a police officer twenty years ago and still could have done the same heroic thing as a policeman today. Also, throughout my whole life, my mom has been my hero.

Hero
A hero is someone who has a big impact on someones life. A hero is a good role model to someone younger. Some qualities a hero has are courage, leadership, bravery, and kindness. Many heroes have these qualities, and that is what makes them a good hero. As time goes on, I think that the definition of a hero will not change. I think the hero himself could change. Maybe he or she has lost their good ways. Maybe they get to caught up in all the money or fame of being a hero. I don't think that the definition of a hero will ever change ,but I think that the hero could. Everybody changes over time. It are the ones who find their way back on the right path that become or stay heroes to others.
Hero
A hero is someone who changes someone's life in a good way. A hero has characteristics like bravery, kindness, many heroes are virtuouse, and some hero's can have bad quality's at some point. For instance in spider man when he starts turning bad, he is still a hhero but he lets his beliefs fall. A hero can definatly change. One way of change could be going from good to bad, or just changing your goal, but one thing is for sure, heroes are definately the good guys.
Hero
In my opinion a hero doesn’t have to be some super strong person who fly's around in a cape and tights and can catch a bullet in their hands or anything like that. A hero is just someone who has a positive input into your life. A hero can just be someone who does something as small as helping you up when you fall down or just someone who helps an old lady cross the street with a bag of groceries. A hero could also be someone in your family who helps you with problems in your life or cheers you up when your upset. A hero doesn't ever stop being a hero. Once you're a hero you're always a hero and nothing can change that. So basically a hero can be someone who saves your life or just someone who saves your pet, but a hero is a hero no matter what size or shape.
Hero to me
When I hear the word "hero" I think of a person that saves lives and greatly helps people. Anyone can be a hero, and you don't have to be some superstar to be one. Parents are heroes and teachers too. I think that heroes do many kind things. I also think that they are generous to others. They never make fun of people and put them down. I don't think that the definition of heroes changes over time because people who do these things will always positively impact the world, but the heroes themselves overtime will change.
Hero
My definition of a hero is a person that helps people and fights for what is right. Some characteristics of a hero are a person who fights for what is right, doesn't give up even in the darkest situations, and always keeps faith. They also try to movtivate people, and help them keep their heads up above water. It doesn't have to be the biggest things like saving the President or stopping terrorists. It can be the smaller things like giving your seat on a bus to an old lady so she doesn't have to walk all the way to the back of the bus to sit down. It can also be like helping clean up the enviorment, helping at charity events and so on. I don't think the definition of a hero changes over time unless the person who is the hero decides to change. So all and all heros are your everyday people.
hero blog
well, When I think about the word hero many words pop into my mind hardworking,kind,intelligent,brave. To be a hero could be to the world could be to a child or could be to yourself. There are many types of hero's there are personal hero's such as your mom or dad, or your favorite superhero such as superman,batman,or chuck norris or it could be your interest hero like slash,jimi hendrix,or bono. Although all of these people are different they all share similar characteristics which make them heroic. For example a mother hero to a child e they make them better when they are down, the make them dinner and they make sure there life is in place. A superhero is strong and can save the day and make someone feel better. And a musician or an actor have the characteristics that inspire you to do whatever they do, they influence them to be a musician or an actor. My main hero is Anthony Kiedis the singer for the red hot chili peppers he is talented and smart, his work has inspired me to get into music and play guitar which is currently my main hobby. That is my opinion on heroes.
Hero
To me, a Hero is a person who helps people. They don't put you down, but instead, they bring you up. They give you hope and they are good role models. Heroes aren't necessarily people like Superman and Batman, or even celebrities like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. They can be people you didn't know or someone you know that is not really important to the world. For example, your mother or father. Your mother or father might not literally be the most important person in the world for other people, but they might be for you. Heroes should be caring, kind, and hardworking. They don't always have to be brave or inteligent, but it helps to be those things. I believe that the definition of Hero does not change, no matter what. Once a Hero, always a Hero.

MDG/COA Question
I think people are naturaly good. Something inside them tells them to do good instead of bad. For example, in The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford feels sympathy for the animals he hunts, and General Zaroff's behavior twards other humans he finds weak, grotesque. When General Zaroff said, "I hunt the scum of the earth-sailors from tramp ships-lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites mongrels-a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them," Rainsford replies, "But they are men," which tells the reader that he does not aprove of killing people, even if their race or status is lower than his.
Personaly, I try the best I can to be good. If I do something not so great, I tend to feel pretty bad about it for a while. I don't think people want to be bad, sometimes they just don't see an alternitave route to the bad things they do. Some stiuations in life may leave you with tough desisions, and what you want and what is good may not be the same thing.

MDG/COA Question
P1: In "The Most Dangerous Game", I think most people only care about themselves. In "The Most Dangerous Game", General Zaroff, doesn't care about anyone but himself. For example, a quote from the story that General Zaroff said was, "the weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong." Gerneral Zaroff kills humans and that's why he only cares about himself.
P2: I think people naturally want to be good in real life. Well, most people at least. I think a lot of people are good or bad, depending on how they were raised. My parents raised me to be a good person. But some people aren't always good. So,I think the outcome on if a person is bad or good is 50/50.

We're Bad :(
I think that most people want to be good at heart. Although I don't think everyone is good at heart. In the Most Dangerous Game, I think, that Rainsford was a good person. Yes, he hunted animals, but not to hurt them necessarily. Rainsford didn't know how it felt to be the animal being hunted, so he didn't see any wrong in what he was doing. However I think that Captain Zaroff knew exactly what he was doing wrong, and he didn't stop until it resulted in his death.
In real life I still think that we try to be good people, but we get blindsided by what we want. When we see something we want, we don't care what it takes to get it. Even if that means hurting someone, or belittling someone else to look better than them. Some of my friends have even done pretty shady things when I know at heart, they are good people. I think that there's a difference with bad people doing bad things, and good people doing bad things.

MDG/COA Question
Paragraph #1
I think that nost people are naturaly good, but there arre a few exeptions. General Zarrof was an antagonist who only cared about himself. He thought that most sailers were worthless, and week. He had no good in him, and killed anyone who came onto his island.
Paragraph #2
Now Rainsford on the other hand had a lot of natural good in him. He hunted animals at first, but towards the end he realized that they had feelings too. He was against the killing of people, and was a very moral person.
