I think John Brown was a hero, because he tried to find ways to free slaves. Even though he killed people or got people killed in the process, he still was trying his best to help free slaves.

Andrew Carnegie, known as the king of steel, grew up poor, but became one of the richest and most successful business owner during the 1800s and 1900s.

The story Frankenstein can be interpreted differently by many people. Some people may view Frankenstein as a hero. Others however, stick with the traditional idea that he is a monster.

A hero does not fight for fame and glory but for the greater good. A hero is someone who goes through adversity to help others in desperate times. A hero fights evil, and defends people.

This quote is true, in the sense that history is often told from a biased perspective due to being told or written by an objective historian that is able to prove their thoughts with details and information.
