Superman?

What does the word “hero” mean to you? What do you think about when you think of heroes? What do you see…?

A:  In my mind, a hero is someone who will stop at nothing to help. It doesn’t always have to be a serious thing. Even the small acts of heroism are important. For example, my grandmother is a hero to me because she took care of her five younger siblings when her parents died from alcoholism. She got married at sixteen and kept her younger brothers and sisters under her wing. She is a hero to me, but more to the people she protected. When someone says the word hero, the picture of a muscular man flying through the air with a red cape pops into my head. These fictional characters may be fun to watch, but their morals and values are true to any real hero. For example, like Superman puts his life on the line to protect common citizens, our nations military follow the same role.
