Oliver Stone Heroism

what is a hero? A hero doesn't always have to be have to be a special individual saving another hopeful soul from a burning building, or being born as an extraordinary individual who has the powers to save lives. A hero could be anyone whose daily acts go unnoticed, and could never be heard. People spend their days doing these things without any notice the act of heroism. Heros can be anywhere without anyone noticing these simple jobs that they do to help others. Heroes can be blind to the human eye but can be notice by the simple acts of strength and selflessness inside them. Although some hero acts go unheard of, heroes can be selfless people, who take up the courage to fight for things bigger than oneself. Heroes do the daily act of kindness that does go unnoticed. Oliver Stone's writes about how

heroes are everyday common people and most of what they do go unheard of or unappreciated. For example, In the article, Where I Find My Heroes, Stone explains heroism as, “...Heroes are everyday, common people. Most of what they do goes unheralded, unappreciated.

And that, ironically, is heroism: not to be recognized” (Stone 73). In this writing Stone explains how everyday people are heroes. In addition another example being the daily struggle of being a parent. Parents everyday work for their children to provide everything they want for them. They go to work to bring back dinner for their kids, and continue it everyday. In conclusion heroes can be anyone, and anybody that you may just not see. Everyday heroes can be selfless people. Heroes can be selfless meaning they put themselves before others. In 6-year-old becomes a hero to band of toddlers, Rescuers, 6 year old Deamonte Love, takes care of all these kids just for their sake. He cleans them, feeds them, and cares for them. But also in the story Deamonte’s parents risked their lives for deamontes. In the article, deamonte’s dad exclaims, “I told them to go ahead and give them up because me, I would give my life for my kids” (Barry 20). This sentence explains an act of selflessness because of how Deamonte’s parents would have let their lives go rather than their children's. Another example would be Giving money to someone homeless instead of buying something you

wanted. This is one of the most simplest ways of selflessness, giving something up you wanted and giving it to someone who needs it much more than you probably do. Thats two examples of selflessness that people do.
Heroes can people who take up the courage to fight for things bigger than oneself. People, fight for a change for the better and worse not just for them but for everyone else. Heroes are not people who give up. Heroes are people who can't give up from what they want because if they do they can never accomplish what they believe in. Heroes do not run away from their problems. Heroes who run away can not grow to be they want to be. Therefor, heroes must fight for things bigger than themselves to accomplish what they want. Therefore heros are strong and sacrificing people who put their lives on line for others. hero acts do go unheard of and unnoticed ,and heroes can be selfless people who care for the feelings , and heroes who take up the courage to fight for things bigger than oneself. Heroes are people that go out of their way for one's safety and hope.
