What is a hero? Why are they needed or not? A Hero is someone who is willing to risk their lives for the sake of others and they made a change in society for the greater good. They stand up for what they believe in no matter what people think or say. - I think we never needed heroes in the first place, but when cartoons and comics like Superman and Spiderman and Batman came out, people started believing in heroes and think that we need them. Heroes don't necessarily mean flying through the air to save peoples lives, they are about making a difference in this world and standing up for what they believe. We need some of those people today because we need a lot of change to happen, and as long as you stand up and dont sit back back down, eventually you will be heard.

Intro your 19th Century hero- Some people consider people as heroes because they were brave. Others think of people as heroes because they helped people in need. Of course, there are many definitions for a Hero, but to me, people who are heroic stand up for what they believe in and don't back down no matter what people tell them or say. I believe that Susan B. Anthony did just this. She stood up for Womens Rights and fought until the very end.
