hero+essay-courtney10

A hero to me is someone who has done something good for others,also someone who is caring. My definition fits Susan B. Anthony very well, she was a wonderful person. She has left a huge impact on many people, but mostly girls. She was a teacher, but when she was a little girl she had no education. She was a great speaker for speaches, she was always proud.

She was born february 15th,1820 in Adam's Massechusetts. Susan B. Anthony. She wanted women to have the equal rights as men do. Her actions where important to me, and every other lady and maybe even man because she faught for girls to have the same rights as men. And i think that she is right, everyone should have the same vote. She was a very good speaker, she had so many speaches infront of many people.

I am going to focus on how Susan B. Anthony is such a wonderful, caring person, she wanted votes for everyone. She is a hero to me because if it wasn't for her than i wouldn't have the knowlege that i do today, and along with every other lady. She mostly meets my defintion because she was willing to do anything, she wasn't married because she didn't want some guy to leave her, back than guys were important and you probably don't want someone to run out on you, but it wouldn't have mattered back than, guys where the man of the house. Her and Elizabeth Cady Stanton became friends and helped eachother with there speaches. They created many different groups. Some impacts that she had one peoples lives were that men did not like her, and women were finally happy that they can have there own rights. A famous quote from Susan was probably "independence is happiness". I agree with that quote, sometimes independence is happiniess, but sometimes it's not good. I got this quote from about.com under Susan B. Anthony's quotes.

Many ladies have had speaches, about how men and women should be eqaul, but non like Susans. She was a very strong women. The very last words she said to her public community before she had passed away, was "failure is impossible" Susan's words must have been important, i mean they don't make it an amendment if it's not, i mean the 19th amendment. This meets my definition because it shows that it took hard work to get what you want, she showed us that failure actually isn't possible. If you think of her quote, "failure is impossible" just think of something you failed at, and think that you really didn't fail at it. She has showed us all that you can do whatever you want, she wanted women to get the same equal rights as men, and she got it. This did not happen until she passed away, but it's a good thing that this amendment did happen. I got the quote "failure is impossible" from Susan B. Anthony's quotes on the internet.

Some of the people who would not thought Susan was a hero, would probably be men, they wanted all the rights to be to them, but Susan didn't want that, she wanted everyone to be equal. She didn't want men to be in control all the time, when men can't even do they're own laundry, and dishes, women do it for them. They didn't exactly try stopping her, they just didn't want everyone to have equal rights. Susan avoided being squished by believing in what she was doing, she believed she could get the vote for womens rights, and she got it, i think this is a good example of my defintion of a hero, she has done something good, maybe not for men back then, but deffinatley for women today. Imagine not having anything to live off of if you where a girl, only men could and would control you. You can't picture it today because now a days girls mostly are in control. They're very controling, so Susan B. Anthony has done something very well for us.

Susan B. Anthony died before she was able to ocomplish something she really wanted. It has benefited to women now, and women back then. Susan's actions benifited mostly all of the women, she didn't want guys to have a bigger right than women, she wanted it all to be equal. She had many speaches, just for women, she thought that guys had more power with everything than over girls, which that is true. She had a program for people who where under alcohol abuse for girls and wife's. Susan was very good with politics, she was a former teacher, she was good with speaches because she got what she wanted.

A problem that we have dealt with these days would most likely be bullying. Even though we have the talks in school, to not be a bullier. I'm pretty sure, that if Susan was alive today, than she would make it an emendmant to not be a bullier. People bully people because of there, religion, color, gender, what they look like, they're pretty mean to people these days. I also believe that because she had so many speaches and was a former teacher, than i think she would make them have to pay for being mean to someone who doesn't deserve it. I think that she would have community speaches, and talks, if she was still a teacher than she would probably not allow the bullying. By the fact knowing that she didn't like people having different amount of rights, i think she would be pretty mad over this.
