The Characteristics of Heroism Written By Olivia Rm 29

__What are the Characteristics of heroism?__

Introduction: When I think about heros, things like super man or comic book characters pop into my head, but when I dig deeper and think harder about what a hero really is I think of people like Joan of ark or Kate Shepard. There are many types of heroism. A hero may be someone like your Mum or dad, people like police, Firemen or evan people that try to change the world.

Paragraph 1: Most heros preserver, your not really a hero if you just give up. For example, a hero that preserved and fought to the finish is Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King practically changed the way american white people thought of colored people. He was dark skinned himself and he delivered many speeches and finally just after he died in 1968 colored people got rights to.

Paragraph 2: Bravery, all heros are brave. A good example of a brave hero his Joan of Ark. Joan of Ark became the leader of an army at the age of 17 not long after she died. She got burned on the stake because people accused her for using witch craft. Another example is a Fireman, firemen put their lives in danger s they can save others, I find that very brave.

Paragraph 3: My hero is Casey Williams, Casey plays netball for the NZ Silver ferns and the Bay of plenty Magic. I am inspired by her because she never gives up. I love netball it is my favorite sport in the world. Casey is really kind. One time I went to a game with my sister Alyssa and my parents, sadly my sister Hannah had just had an operation and couldn’t join us. After the game I went to Casey and asked if she could speak to my sister for a surprise, fortunately she said yes, they spoke for over 10 minutes. It goes to show how kind and caring a hero can be.

Conclusion: Now when I think about heros I don’t think of superman, I think of people just like you and I who have made the decision to push themselves to the absolute best of their abilities. Everyone has the potential to be a hero.
