Marybeth Heyse's poem

The Little Things

Picking up dropped belongings, giving directions,

Continuously helping

A hero

A little deed can go a long way

When you help someone in need you show you care,

That you’re a moral individual

Who has values that will remain unbroken

No amount of money or stress could make them buckle under pressure

Continuously helping

A hero

Marybeth Heyse's hero poem

Heroes

They are in our everyday lives

Helping, saving, and donating

Making a difference

To better our world

And to save mankind

You may not recognize them

But sometimes your hero could have been beside you all this time

Heroes are anonymous

True heroes don’t do good deeds for fame or fortune

They do it because they are a good-hearted, unselfish human being that wants to make a difference and to better our world

A Type of Hero

“There are all types of heroes.”(Eggleston) Although, Superman may be a hero in comic books the real heroes are in our everyday lives doing minute gestures to help one another. There are also the extraordinary heroes who go out of their way to help someone else in need. It could be saving your brother from drowning, a teacher sacrificing her life for her students, or a man fighting for independence. Whether, it is a family, community, or global hero they are all astounding people making a difference.                             ~~~~Marybeth Heyse

Mehdi Alhusseini's paragraph on heroes

Who do you think is the best example of a hero?

The person/people I think are heroic would be the Red Tails. They were the World War 2 Tuskegee black airmen that fought segregation and fought in World War 2.The 13 original Tuskegee airmen were a hard working group of pilots who protected Americans bombers. The Red Tails are heroes because they helped the U.S. win World War 2. But even though they won the war, military laws still segregated the black pilot’s air force and treated them like second class citizens. To help the country end segregation Truman signed the Executive order 9981. Today people still remember how the Red Tails had a big part in ending segregation because they proved that it does not matter what skin color you are to be good at something.
