It is human nature for people to look up to another person that they would like to be like. This person usually resembles one or more of the following heroic traits: strength, leadership, intelligence, or courage. These character traits seem to be the most commonly refered to when describing a hero. Three heros that I have are Aragon from Lord of the Rings, the president Andrew Jackson, and my grandma.
Aragon is a hero to me because he represents what a how an ideal hero should act. He leads armies into battle with no fear. He is an excellent fighter. He always says the right things at the right time. He later becomes the king of all of middle earth. So others obviously feel stongly about him as well.
Andrew Jackson is another one of my heros because he is my favorite president. He always put the common man above the rich and powerful. A president should be a natural leader, which Jackson was. He led the seige on the British blockade at the port of New Orleans at the end of the war of 1812 and won. To me he represents an american.
My biggest hero is my grandma. She is no longer on this earth but her memories are with me on a daily basis. She is the nicest women that ive ever know. She was a whole hearted Catholic. She donated tens of thousands of dollars to her church and also a pricelesss amount of money through her volunteer work. She fought through colon cancer, broken bones and alzheimers. She is my hero.
