Journal Entry 29: Heroes Revisited

            My electronic dictionary say that a hero means " A person, especially a man, who is admired by many people for doing something brave or good." I think this one might be wrong because hero can be any gender but not especially man, I think that parts should be taken away. Also I think what could add on it should be the hero do not only do something brave or good, they could also do sacrifice. When someone was in an emergency, they would go up and save those people but he died at the end. People will think he/she will be a hero. The internet dictionary say the a hero means "a person admired for bravery, great achievements, or good qualities"I think this one is much better but still quite missing something. It does say all gender, but I think that there is one parts that it could be improve was that if they can add something about the hero's personality and what did they do to become an hero, basically I hope this definition could be more descriptive I think this definition is good enough, at least better than the previous one. I will prefer  definition number 2, because it basically talk about basic meaning of hero. I also found a different definition from "dictionary.com" "it means " a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities." I think what could be take away from this definition is the noble qualities, a hero doesn't have to be rich. Like Harriet Tubman, she was not rich, but people still call her as a hero. Also it's doesn't have to be a man, it could be woman too.
