A hero to me is someone that helps you throughout your life and someone that you can trust and someone you look up to.

1)Intro to your 19th Century hero my 19th century hero is Emily Dickinson. Emily loved nature and found insperation in birds and other animals.Later on in her life she started to like writting poetry. She had a sucess on her poetry and wrote a lot of books on poetry.

2)Put hero’s life into perspective–when did they live, where, who were they trying to help, why, how, why was this important? she lived to 1830 to 1886, Emily Dickinson lived in Amherst, Massachusetts Emily Dickinson tried to help people by changing there minds on how they should like nature more and and she made her poems make people think differently. This is important because it would helpother people relise that nature and other living animals.

3)What makes your person a hero–you must prove that your person meets the criteria of your own personal definition(this is the meat of your wiki page and your submission to the My Hero website-your looking at a good four paragraphs here–focus on that spark, that moment the person decided to be heroic or do heroic acts

the thing that makes my person a hero is that they make people think differently then they would about animals and nature. i think that what makes her a hero is that she helped people feel different about themselves, her poetry has a meaning to it, so it makes people think about what they think it means to them.

4)What is the person’s legacy?

Her legacy is that she made poems to make everyone remember her, and all of her poetry made people think about what she was trying to put out to everyone and have a meaning to all of her poems. she made 3 poetry books after her death

5)What advice would they have for today’s youth?
