Kaitlin Girardini's Excerpt from Hero Essay

Intro To Hero Essay... Enjoy!


What makes someone a hero? Is it the mask and cape, super-strength and ability to fly? Or is a hero defined by the qualities they embody? After all, “A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart,” (Lange 2). These parables are designed to teach viewers that true hero is demarcated by what is within, such as perseverance, competence, and courage. Moreover, if anyone who acts upon heroic qualities can be a hero, then heroes can be found everywhere: from families, to communities, to even around the world. Meaning, heroes can be found where ever an individual is motivated to induce or rouse the qualities they epitomize; the qualities that depict a hero.
