That was the definition in dictionary-speak (Websters). Well, a hero to me is someone that carries good qualities (reponsibility, respectful, etc.) and really cares about helping those in need than themselves. Other things are people you look up to, are brave and courageous (I didn't spell that right, did I?), and arn't afraid to do the right thing, even if they are the only one standing up. Some heroes to me are the teachers who inspire and motivate learning, those who go out of there way to save lives: police men, fire fighters, even strangers! Authors and poets who give you more insight in your lives and words that inspire you, environment activists that devote themselves to taking care of our earth, scientists that strive to discover, peace makers that lead us to non-violent choices and ideas, strangers that give out a helping hand to those in need, my family that has given me so much when I have near to nothing in return, those who teach us religion (every religion's goal is the well being of us and making us better people), and this list can go on and on never ending so I'll stop here.
To me a hero is someone who is there for you and who will help you when your down. i have encountered only a few heros in their my life and i love them all. heroes do exist. you just have to unmask their disguse. they are angels.
Can't you be a hero in your own way(such as acing a test)
Hero is a state of mind. Someone to look up to. One that stands up for what he believes is right, wether it is right or not.

My definition for hero is person who can presist his/her dream or belief.
to me there is only one definition for hero, whether it is in literature or film or reality i think a hero is somebody who is able to put others' needs above theirs. so i think in everyday life there is a chance every minute to be a hero, for example today my dad is a hero to me because he cooked for me before cooking for himself without me asking for food even though he was tired and sweaty from working outside.
i think a hero is just somebody who helps others and puts others needs above theirs like miss swiss said
I think that hero should be brace. And also they have to be wise to get good decision. Like superman… he always gets great decision I think. (I know Superman is like kind of fiction but its still hero’s journey.) And the hero should be dependable and trustworthy. And I think many of them have good looking I mean…like... if that hero looks like a monster. That people who saved by the hero will scared of him. Maybe it is some kind of perceptions.
