What is a hero

“Crash! Went the swords Clang went the spears and shields as they hit each other finally the battle was over after many

days at war. These men wood be welcomed home as hero’s for defeating the enemy”. Well I suppose that is a hero. But I

also suppose a hero is someone that can take care of you, that can fight for what he believes in, not what is right but what

he thinks is right. I suppose a hero is also someone that is strong and can protect you. Odysseus did, when he fought in the

grate battle of troy. He was very lucky to be alive. But what matters is he fought for what he believed in and what he

thought was right.

For me the view of a hero is someone that you believe will and can do the right thing no mater what he thinks and no

mater what everyone said to him even if he was rejected by his people. Well that’s only one of the characteristics that I

find most worthy. But there are more, like a hero has to be loving kind to all no matter what they do to you. Second they

 half to be able to be truthful even if it may hurt you because in the long run it will make you a better person. And lastly a

hero must be a worthy person. A person that you love no mater what they do. So to me that is the characteristics of a hero.

Odysseus is a hero in my book. Why, well maybe it is the way he can fight for what he believes in not what other people say is right. I also think he is a hero because of the way he is loyal to the gods not only because they can protect him, but because ho loves them and looks to them for strength. For me the strength of a hero is not the strength of his sword but the ability to love you see odysseys loved his land as was willing to fight for it. He also loved his wife “he was a playa” but he loved his wife to me that is a hero.
