People who are solution oriented, risk takers, positive and are driven by passion should be heroes. Also when you’re a hero you have to have both mental and physical strength. When you have these traits in a problem, you can get through it. Heroes arise through problems when they are driven by their passion. When Jackie Robinson was fighting for his rights he showed heroic traits, but when Ulysses was to get home he only showed stereotypical heroic qualities. That shows he is not a hero.
When Ulysses was trying to get home from Troy he showed heroic qualities like strength but being strong does not mean you are a hero. Being strong is one thing, but when being a hero you also need to have mental strength. After Ulysses stabs Polyphemus in the eye, Polyphemus tells Poseidon to punish Ulysses. Ulysses gets punished for not thinking. If you want to be a hero you need to have mental strength and physical strength.
My modern day hero is Jackie Robinson and he is a hero because he got through all the hard times the white people were giving him. When you have hundreds of people yelling at you about you playing the sport you love (or doing the things you love) and then you are driven with your passion, you are a hero. When Jackie Robinson got up to bat, people would yell hurtful words at him and he was not allowed to fight back. He scores a run to show them he is meaningful. With Jackie Robinson’s passion of the sport, he drives through the problems he had. When you have a problem but get through it with your passion, you are a hero.
What if there was no racism in the world? In the modern world there is still racism and there needs to be a hero that steps up and fights against it like Jackie Robinson.
