I think that the main characteristics that make someone a hero are courage‚ morality‚ honor‚ respect‚ they fight for the good‚ and they focus on the needs of others rather than their personal needs. A hero is a savior. Beowulf saved his people more than once. He saved them from Grendel‚ from Grendel’s mother‚ and from the

HEROES IN POETRY The Hero ’Jack fell as he’d have wished‚’ the mother said‚ And folded up the letter that she’d read. ’The Colonel writes so nicely.’ Something broke In the tired voice that quivered to a choke. She half looked up. ’We mothers are so proud Of our dead soldiers.’ Then her face was bowed. Quietly the Brother Officer went out.

Ignoring the fact that I was having a hunch‚ I built up my courage and went out to hail a cab. Every cab that I hailed did not want to pick me up as it was late at night and the destination was far.

Nelson Mandela‚ a past president of South Africa‚ said‚ “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front‚ especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.” Mandela‚ an activist who spent twenty-seven years in prison‚ understood the risks a person has to take in order to become an effective leader.
