Writer’s Workbook #4

Describe a hero. It can be either someone you know or simply qualities of a hero


A commonly described hero is one of courage and bravery; willing to put themselves in danger for the good of the person that may be harmed. Comic book heroes display many good qualities, but the everyday heroes are often overlooked. While firemen and the kind police officer are fine examples, they’re not the focus. I’m talking about the good Samaritan of everyday life. The people who help just from the goodness of their hearts. Parents who care deeply as though everyone is their child, nurturing just so no one has to feel without care. The friends who are always there to listen and offer advice, and occasionally a good revenge scheme. Siblings who understand when you need someone to make you laugh or be left alone for a while. The random stranger that gives out smiles and compliments and “hello!”s  just because they feel like it. The common hero is the one who gets how people work, and can be there with something as small as a cheery greeting or something more like a shoulder to cry on.

Heroes aren’t meant to save the day. They are meant to be there for any individual that needs them. Heroes are there for the safety of people not only physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.
