make you a hero. Heroes can be anyone or anything‚ they can also do deadly tasks‚ or do the most simplest of things. Ancient Greek heroes would go on deadly quests defeating monsters of all shapes and sizes‚ like how Perseus slayed Medusa.

The Outsiders Heroes. In the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton‚ “A hero isn’t measured by the size of their strength‚ but by the size of their heart.” Anyone can be a hero.
