Alexander Bell is a hero because he is the father of the telephone, do you help deaf people by teaching them, he shared science with the world by helping to found National Geographic.

Another reason is that he was a teacher of the deaf and he helped many people. I'm glad that he help from national geographic magazine. How much do you think your life would be changed if you did not have a phone how many people would you not know because of…
Can a person be ignorant but a hero as well? Or are those two words that shouldn't even be in the same sentence? If someone were asked the characteristics a hero should have they would give the typical qualities; intelligence, strength, determination, athleticism, leadership, etc. But does an individual truly have to have these abilities to be a hero? Many would argue yes but in the case of Huckleberry Finn, not so much. Huckleberry Finn is an uneducated, nonreligious, poor, below average, boy but still takes on the role of a hero in the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” even though he doesn't have the typical qualities of a hero. Although Huck Finn has these adverse qualities, he still makes the perfect narrator and hero for the story by having…

African American Civil Rights activist Harriet Tubman was an enslaved woman who craved for social change. Harriet Tubman was born to enslaved parents in Dorchester County, Maryland and was willing to risk her life to find social justice for African Americans. Tubman escaped from slavery in the South to become “a leading abolitionist before the American Civil War” (Whiteheld, 2014, p.1). When Tubman escaped slavery justice wasn’t served from her point of view. Her version of justice being served was to go after what you wanted and she wanted all of her people to be free and equal. From my point of view Harriet Tubman will always remain a hero. She was multiple things, a nurse who saved soldiers lives during the civil war, a Civil War spy who…

Is Atticus a hero? Why or why not? At least for me this a tough question. Atticus had done many things that could make him hero. However, at the same time he has done some things that don’t make him a hero. He could be heroic if you think killing a mad dog and trying to save Tom Robinson’s life. He could also be the complete opposite if you think that he knew Tom Robinson was going to lose and didn’t seem to care. Tom Robinson was killed because he lost the trail from Atticus. It definitely wasn’t all of Atticus fault since Tom was black man living during a discrimination period. Everyone already knew Tom wasn’t going to win and never had a chance. Atticus also seems a bit heroic whenever he teaches his kids something. For an example when…
