In my opinion, Dorothea Dix fits my definition of a hero because she not only did something to improve the life of one person, she improved the lives of thousands, without worrying about the consequences of her actions. That day when she went to teach Sunday school in East Cambridge, she could have done nothing about the terrible conditions that the prisoners had to endure. She could have chosen to ignore them.

I choose Jane becuse she sounded like such an amazing woman who did all thease great things that led to a better future and a more equal way to

Today, many would agree that slavery was not a good thing and that women should have equal rights. But in 1800s people who disagreed would be like people who agree with slavery today, not right and or shouldn’t be listened too. If we lived in her time period, she wouldn’t be a hero she would be someone trying to take away privilege and supporting the wrong things. We may think of her as a hero for her work for equality but the opposite to many in her time.
Some people may not think of Irena as a hero. They may not think of Irena as a hero because they would think that other people, for example Oskar Schindler did the same thing as her so she wasn't important, but people like Irena Sendler should be known and important because of what she accomplished even when she knew that she was being watched at all times.

What I did was not an extraordinary thing.

A lot of times real heroes and role models go unknown. We focus ourselves on celebrities and people who really do nothing more but their job of acting or singing; some bringing bad influences. Real heroes are the ones who put their life on the line for the people they love, the country they love. People that in no way expected their lives to take a sharp turn and getting a little taste of hell while at the same time being praised although not by many. At a young age being in trouble with the cops no one would think such a kid would end up being a true American hero.
