The dictionary definition of a hero is someone who is admired for their achievements or noble qualities. For me, the definition of a hero is someone who helps people and is caring. In this world, many people are considered heroes. An example of a “hero” is OJ Simpson. OJ was best known as the running back for the Buffalo Bills and was nicknamed "The Juice." Although he won the Heisman Trophy, he was also a prime suspect in a murder case involving his wife and her new boyfriend. Even though all the evidence was there, he was found innocent and was never imprisoned. OJ Simpson was an extraordinary football player, but he should be judged on everything he does, not just his accomplishments. Walter Payton is someone I consider a hero in every way. Shortly after Simpson retired, Walter came to play football for the Chicago Bears. Very early in his career, he was given the nickname “Sweetness” which describes his personality in one word. Walter inspired his team and his community. Every Christmas, he and his wife helped underprivileged children in the Chicago area. Walter said: "I want to be the guy who is always remembered for giving his all every time he was on the field". I think this quote shows his respect for the sport and his kindness to others. There are so many real heroes, the next hero I look up to is Martin Luther King Jr. King was an American rights activist and leader in the African world. American civil rights movement. King wanted to end racial segregation, but being African American himself, he faced many challenges. Many people were disgusted by the fact that King wanted whites and blacks to be treated equally. He always had the strength to move forward and keep fighting for what... middle of paper ...... that's how Ender got there, except he's not the Ultimatum and that it can be defeated. I think Graff said this to prepare Ender in case there was a disappointment. Ender is a fictional hero because he wanted to help save the human race and make his family proud. Heroes come in many different forms, but they are all equally important. I always remember that there are heroes everywhere you turn and not all of them are celebrities. All of the heroes I've talked about play a major role in American history and how America became the free country it is today. Even if Ender was a fictional character, I think he could fit in as a real person who saves us all. The dictionary definition of a hero is someone who is admired for their accomplishments or noble qualities. My definition of a hero is someone who helps people around them and is caring..
