A hero is someone who goes to extraordinary lengths to make things right. Someone who overcame adversity or troubles in their life to make themselves who they are. It can be a man, woman, old person or even a kid.
One of my heroes would be Abraham Lincoln who saw slavery as a bad thing. General McArthur, Nelson Mandela, and John Lenon, are few of the names that I can think of that I see as HEROES. The pilot who landed the plane in the Hudson river is a hero, because he saved the lives of the people who were on that plane. During 9/11 a plane crashed in Pennsylvania, the people on that plane fought back against the terrorist on board. I see them as heroes too because that plane would've hit the Whitehouse. Also the people that survived genocides all over the world, they are heroes in my book.
In the movie "Time to kill" Jack B. and Carl Lee Hailey are both heroes. They both tried to make things right. Even though their way of setting things right may be different, their goals were the same.
Carl Lee knew that they lived in a community were people with the same colour protect their on kind. So he had to put justice in his own hands. Jack knew that Carl Lee wouldn't get a fair trial because he is black, so he did what he could to save Carl Lee's life.
