Yours will vary from mine, and mine will vary from yours. Whats your definition? This is mine, A hero is **someone you look up to, admire, and wish to be like.** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Maybe ours were similar but its probably not likely. Who do you think of when you hear the word hero? I think of Harriet Tubman. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Harriet Tubman lived from 1820 to 1913. She started off living in Dorchester County, Maryland, then died after her long journey in Auburn, New York. She helped free black slaves all over the south. She herself was a former slave. This was a very important part of history. She was a hero. She helped stop slavery, which is now banned today. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Harriet meets the definition of a hero. She is **someone you look up to, admire, and wish to be like.** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">If you were a slave and not free to do as you pleased you would look up to her wishing you had the courage to lead hundreds of slaves to safety by traveling on the famous Underground Rail Road. She escaped from her owner who was planning to sell her as well as other slaves. Once she escaped she worked as a house hold servant to raise money and be able to go back to free more slaves. She helped stop slavery by doing a little thing that made a huge difference in the once racist world. Would you have enough courage to do that? <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Harriet Tubman did many acts of heroism. She was very courageous. She stole her owners buggy and horse to make her remarkable <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">escape. She also stole guns and had the courage to hold people that tried to stop her, at gun point threatening, " You'll be free or die?" She had to have courage to just escape to back during slavery there were many ads sent out for runaway slaves. Whenever Harriet lead slaves to freedom she took on a great amount of danger. She broke the laws. She would pull out a gun if someone wanted to turn back and say, "Do you want to be free or die a slave?" Would you have the courage to do any of those acts she did? I wouldn't. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Not everyone would think Harriet was a hero. What if you were a slave owner, would you want someone freeing your slaves? I don't think so. Harriet was a hero and criminal in people's eyes. She broke many laws and angered many slave owners. Harriet Tubman was not **someone you look up to, admire, and wish to be like,** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">if you were a slave owner. To them she was the enemy. They would try to stop her by putting up wanted ads for the missing slaves and send people to search, but no one could stop her as Harriet said, " On my Underground Rail Rode I never run my train off the tracks and I never lost a passenger." <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Harriet Tubman left a legacy. It's actually very simple she took one big step that played a part in the end of slavery and racisms. She impacted not only the past and present but the children that will be born in the future. Now because of her no one will be sold as an item to work against their will and won't be treated lower than anyone else because on their skin color. You know the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover" well don't judge a person by their skin color. Harriet left a very important legacy behind. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> You could relate this act of heroism to a present day issue. In the middle school and high years people get put down if they don't have the latest trends from clothes to electronics they get looked down on. Well it's the same thing back then with skin color and slavery. If Harriet was alive now I think she would have some words of wisdom to say. I imagine it would go something like this, Don't judge someone by their things they don't have and do, what they wear and how they dress. That's not what matters none of that matters at all you have to look at what's inside a person, who knows what you'll find. Just give them a chance and find out. Harriet Tubman is a true hero. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">

It nearly crushed her skull and left a deep scare and suffered from sisures therest of her life. =====

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">In 1849 she worried herself as well as others in would get sold. So she ran away. She then worked as a house hold servant to make money so she would be able to go back and help the other slaves exscape. =====
