What a hero is to you?

Matthew Rodriguez
Grade 9
Period 6

A hero to me is someone who saves you in tough times and gives you peace of mind. A hero is a brave person that helps you and puts you before them.  My definition of a hero is someone who is selfless, confident, honest, courage, and brave. Also a hero is someone who makes sacrifices for you and helps you out in many ways. My opinion of a hero changed because I used to think its someone who saves you but now I think they show us examples and their mistakes that we learn from. I think that a hero shows us a path that we should not follow exactly but use as an example. A hero can also show us how to do things and shows us the right thing to do. This is what I think of a hero.

It is 800 signs or glyphs in a paired column going from left to right, and top to bottom. The signs would resemble an object, person, places, foods, god, buildings, etc.
