Reading about the Anglo-Saxon time period I learned a lot about the qualities of the typical hero back then. They seemed brave and confident. They usually came from a royal family or someone well known. They would fight for their people and defend their honor. In a modern hero I think the quality traits have changed, we view people like our parents to be a hero. People who are not only physically fit but emotionally as well. Honesty and loyalty seem to be a trend in modern hero’s.
Learning about hero’s and their qualities made me reflect on the people in my life that I feel deserve the name of “hero”. People such as my mom, she’s honest, brave, and protects the people she lives without hesitation. This not only affects me but everyone that meets her as well.
