People often think that a hero is someone perfect—someone who always looks good‚ does the right thing‚ and says the right thing at the right time‚ but that is not always the case. Heroism means putting others before oneself and helping them‚ even if it is risky to do so. You do not have to be handsome‚ wear a cape‚ or fly to do that; sometimes ordinary people can unexpectedly turn out to be heroes. In the book The Outsiders‚ by S.E. Hinton‚ one unexpected hero is the character Ponyboy Curtis‚ a
