    Hero Speech When we hear the word “hero‚” it usually brings up images of super men or super woman. The super powers‚ sweeping in and saving humanity from villains and natural disasters‚ but when I hear that word‚ in my mind’s eye‚ I see my father.

    definition of a hero? I guess you may think that they are people with special powers‚ but now I will tell you the true definition of a HERO. I believe a hero is an everyday person that can change the world for the better. Usually people think of heroes as people who fight crime in movies or comic books‚ but those people don’t exist in the real world.

    Is Atticus A Hero

    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

    A tragic hero is defined in most cases as a literary character of great stature whose moral defect leads to tragedy but some self-awareness brings the character to make the right decision (World Literatures). That is why although Antigone portrays many characteristics of a tragic hero‚ the real tragic hero of this play is Creon. A tragic hero in the Greek world is very different from our perceptive of a hero in the modern world. When today’s society thinks of a hero they think of superpowers and
