I'm sorry for the bottom half of my post there is something wrong with how my computer sets up the font. JUST HIGHLIGHT AGAIN

     I just started reading Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz. I have been determined to finish this series of books and throughout this series I have been thinking a lot about heroes.  In this series there is a 14 year old spy named Alex who, in every book, saves millions of lives around the world. This doesn't need much of a retell since that is basically all you need to know. But anyway, what exactly are heros? In this fictional world that many of us read about we have super heros with super powers, such as super strength, speed, or the ability to read minds. And then there are these heros in our real life that do so much for this world.We take these heros to be selfless and all good.

      But why do we call them heros?I mean what would happen if we did have these all good super heros?Soon the human race would become so used to having these people watch out for them that they would start to rely way to much on them. We would be calling them every 5 minutes to help us open a pickle jar or something crazy like that. We call these people heros because of all the help. but remember, everyone has a dark side. Take alex for example. He saves millions of lives every book, but for what cost? Every book he kills someone, maybe not directly, but he always has something to do with someone else's death. Every hero has a selfish and dark side to them.  

     But if people actually knew about this whether it was a superhero or just someone on the street, would we still think of them as the kind completely good person that they could possibly be, or would we think twice about giving our lives and hopes to this person.

     I know everyone can make mistakes, but it's unacceptable with the high stakes that come with being a "hero'
