A hero is a person who would risk their lives and put themselves in danger to help anyone they can, and is a person who cares about more than themselves.

“A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.” (Bob Dylan). The novel The Outsiders has many heroic roles. My definition of hero is not like the traditional hero.

In “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, Holden displays that he is a sensitive subject to work with on many different occasions. When dealing with family, it’s a touchy subject with which he does not like discussing a ton. When thinking about his siblings, Holden starts to reveal himself as a semi-sensitive guy. Regarding his friends, they are hit or miss with each one. Although he has been to many schools, he never seems to have friends that really stick with him. He has a few friends that throughout the novel he knows he can call up, but other than

High School. The epitome of how poorly someone can be treated based on what they like, or what they wear, or say and do. The doors you walk through each day are the entrance to the jungle; it seems harmless at first, but as soon as you enter you are stalked and watched by the predators. Any high school looks great to an outsider, but deep down they all consist of a ludicrous social hierarchy. In The Body of Christopher Creed by Carol Plum-Ucci, Victor “Torey” Adams experiences these things first hand after he pulls away from the scum he once knew and loved, those who contributed to Christopher Creed’s disappearance. He sees how they beat people down and how ruthless they can be with him and his newfound friends.

The Cahills were cornered by the Holts and the Holts ask for the clue but the Cahills were trying to stall. One of the Holts cannot take it any longer so he grabbed Dan by the neck and started to strangle him. Amy 's heart sank and she gave them the bag that the clue was in just to save her brother. Nellie found them and asked if they were okay and they said they were alright in a sad tone.

When the man arrives at home from the hospital, he begins to remember that “this is his house” (Cherry 15). In the poem, “Alzheimer’s,” Kelly Cherry expresses the confusions and difficulties a man with dementia struggles with in life. The poem explores the chaos of the man who comes home from the hospital and his conflicts with his memory loss. The speaker is close to the man and is frustrated with him at the beginning of the poem, but the speaker’s feeling toward the man eventually shifts to sadness. Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease can be painful and heartbreaking, though people need to understand that familiar circumstances and with family support can help the patients whose mind is gradually changing. Cherry poetically expresses

Moments later we find out he is another militiaman fighting the same battle that Adam is fighting. Now we start to think of him differently, more as a confident person, as seen by “Excitement is a bad state for the body” (Fast 113). He knows what is good for a body in this kind of situation, so from that we begin to know that he has been in this type of situation before. He sees that there is a two on two against them and the British redcoats. He wants to fight, because he knows that they have an even chance, as said by “… a gun is a commoner, an equalizer, believe me” (Fast 114). Again, he knows what is good for you in a situation and is confident with the answer he gives you, because he knows that it is right, as said by “… There is not any fear that can’t be faced and dealt with. Make yourself compatible with it, and it shrivels…” (Fast 122). Howard Fast tried to make it seem as though Solomon went through, as making Solomon quote “Let the tears run freely. Grief should not be denied” (115). Solomon is a self-assured man that faces the challenges and has the wisdom to know what to do in any situation in a
