    Norman Mailer once asked "For what does it mean to be a hero?" and answered himself with "It requires you to be prepared to deal with forces larger than yourself." This defines the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and the play Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. This quote may have many meanings‚ but I personally believe it means that he who calls himself a hero (such as a police officer‚ fire fighter or others) will have to deal with situations that will be difficult to defeat; however they do

    In honor to our school’s Diversity Day celebration‚ I would like to make our community aware that disabled individuals are capable of many accomplishments.

    A Hero What is a hero? I feel that a hero is an ordinary person who can do heroic acts that no one else can do. Being a hero is not all about super powers and cool costumes. That is not what it is about‚ a hero must be strong‚ intelligent and brave. They must also commit to doing brave deeds for others too. Once they achieve this‚ they will be heroes. In addition‚ they are truly extraordinary people. A hero needs to be strong mentally and physically . Mental strength is not trying to carry
