Heroic Acts and Heroic Personalities

A hero is more like being brave and caring in situations that they normally won’t do. They put themselves in weird and uncomfortable positions just to help someone else in their time or need. So I do believe that a hero is someone who commits heroic acts. Some whose behavior and personality fit the idea of what a hero is like, may not be an actually hero because you can think you are a hero but may not have the qualities of one.

According to the movie “Hero” Bernie LaPlant went from trying to keep a low profile to being someone’s undercover hero but he let John Bubber take the credit for it. He didn’t want anyone to think he was a perfect role model of a hero but it was part of it. La Plant went into a burning airplane and saved 54 “unknown passengers” just for the little boy who thought he was going to lose his father. That’s something a real hero will do risk his life for others. Now if that’s not a harmful position or hero role for someone else then that must be brave and caring “qualities of a hero”. With him just hesitating and debating to finally come to a conclusion to finally grow the courage to actually save those people lives made a huge difference in those peoples life. Even at the end when he went to risk his life again for a little girl falling into a tiger cage. That’s an act no ordinary person will do not less they count their self as a hero and brave or maybe even caring too much for someone else “which is hard to find”.

On the other hand John Bubber played his role as a “hero” but he really wasn’t due to some qualities. He didn’t risk his life for anyone which had led him to be dishonest in a role in played with a whole lot of people but, he did inspire the youth and other people into believing they can do anything if they put their mind into it. That’s a good example of “behavior and personality fit the idea of what a hero is like”. Having the encourage to have people seek things in that they never did before is somewhat like a hero role because he made them to believe. Bubber inspired the boy to come out of that comer, he believed in the boy, which encourages the boy to believe in himself and make the impossible, possible to happen.

In a conclusion, there’s a strong difference into actually being a hero and not quite meeting all the standards to meeting all the standards but not quite being an actually hero. Being a hero comes with way more qualities then just more than one or two.
