    What is a hero? My comment on the interview: I think Philip is coming up with some good answers to how an idol is one thing‚ and a hero is another.

So Phillip is definitely right. Why are children more impressionable than adults when it comes to heroes and idols? I think it’s because children always have someone

    “War is Kind” by Stephen Cane is a poem from the late 1800’s. This poem is assumed to be written about the civil war because World War 1 and World War 2 have not occured yet.
