Peter Brownrigg shows heroic measures because he puts others before himself. In the book Cue for Treason by Geoffrey Trease, the first reason why Peter Brownrigg is a hero is because he always puts others before himself no matter what the consequences may be. Peter demonstrates how he puts others before himself when he says, “Out you go, Kit, and run round to where we left the horses. I’ll give you a minute’s start, then I’ll follow.” (Trease 230) This quote demonstrates that Peter had let Kit out of the room first so she does not get in trouble. This is significant because he is putting his own health and happiness at risk. He is risking being captured or tortured for Kit’s own safety. From this evidence it is easy to see
how much of a hero Peter Brownrigg is. Another example of when Peter Brownrigg did a heroic act is when he throws a stone down the big pothole near the Virgin Mine. Peter demonstrates how he puts others before himself when he says, “We soon saw the pothole-a kind of pit in the earth ten yards to the left of the track. … “Pretty”, said Kit.We’d both dismounted and led our horses closer. They seemed reluctant to come. “Pretty?” I echoed. “Think so?” I picked up a loose stone and tossed it down. There was complete silence while I counted “One, two, three, four…” Then there was a tiny, far-away plonk as the stone struck water. Kit shuddered. “Let’s be getting on”. (Trease 251-252) This quote demonstrates that Peter shows Kit that even that even though the pothole may be pretty, it is very dangerous. By throwing the stone down the hole he put Kit’s life before his down and he stopped her from potentially walking any closer or getting Injured. He may have saved Kit’s life by simply being a hero. In conclusion, it is very clear to see how Peter is portrayed as a very heroic young boy throughout the whole book.

According to the narrator, she needs nothing more than a change of pace and scenery. Sadly, since her husband is a physician of high standing, her opinion and feelings are not even considered. He always seems to talk down to her, treating her like a child in this particular instance, calling her “little girl”. In spite of this, she sees this as an opportunity to talk to let him know her concerns, informing him that she is not getting better as he so adamantly believes.

Even in death, Peter cannot escape ridicule. At a time when everyone is supposed to celebrate his life and mourn his death, they are still mocking Peter. He is still the punch line to cruel jokes. At one point, a funeral attendee speculates that the reason the casket is closed is because “he was in there in a big wig and heels” (Doty 11/12). Peter was being judged at his own funeral. That is pathetic. No one should have to endure that, but Peter did. This poor individual was told that he “asked for it” (Doty 16). “It” is referring to death. He was just...
