Hero Essay
Sergio.C
10/18/10
What is a hero? A person is a person like superman. Superman is a hero because he has super strength, shoots lazars with his eyes, and has X-Ray vision.

Superman is a hero because he has super strength. A reason that he is a hero is because he could pick a car up with no problem. Another reason that having super strength is being a superhero is because it is physically impossible to move heavy things like bridges or other heavy things. A example that could prove my point is if you find a person that is very buff and ha tryst to pick up a car he wouldn’t be able to because it is impossible for a person to pick up a normal car. Having super strength has to be qualified as being a super hero.

Superman is also a hero because he could shoot lazars with his eyes. A reason that being able to shoot lazar true your eyes because it is physically impossible to do that. An example that proves my point is because there was a time when he had to cut a metal bar to get two people or they were going to die so he cut it off with his laser beams. Another reason is because lazars is a very dangers thing that cuts anything but it doesn’t heart his eyes. This helps prove my point because nobody could shoot lazars with their eyes because it is not possible for people to shoot lazars. These reasons prove my point that being able to shoot lazar makes someone a hero.
Another reason that Superman is a hero is because he could see through things. A reason that being able to see through things is counted as being a hero because it could save lives because it could see through walls that have booms or other things. An example that could prove my point is that there is nothing that could do the same thing as Superman and because he helps out people so they could have a good life. These reasons prove my point that being able to have X-Ra y vision is being a hero.

Superman is a hero because he has super strength, could shoot lazars, and because he has X-Ray vision. So what is a hero? A hero is a Peron like Superman.
