My definition of a hero, is someone that people looks up to. Someone that does good things. a hero don't actually need to save someone to be a hero.
Yes, I think they are a hero, because Johnny, and PonyBoy nearly gave up there lives to save the little kids in the burning church. We don't know yet if Johnny and Dally die yet. Dally also went in there to help PonyBoy and Johnny out because they couldn't see anything, they couldn't find there way out.

My definition of a hero is a person that can be trusted by their friends and someone that possibly helps others like when the three boys helped out those kids in the church thay are heros because they helped out others when in desperate need yes I think these boys are heros because they done something very outstanding to help those young kisd when in need and that was brave to go in a burning building...

14: A hero in my definition is someone who does something good that can help someone else. The three boys prove to be a hero in my definition because they saved the lives of a lot of kids and Dally saved Johnny from burning to death inside the church while trying to save the kids.

In a way johnny and Ponyboy does prove to be heros because they sove all the little kids in the burring church. A hero in my eyes is someone who does something for another person who changes there life for the best or if they had to save there life, But jonny did kill a guy but it was to pertect there selves from being killed but that wouldnt be considered a hero in somepeoples eyes but maybe to ponyboy who johnny sove from being killed.

My definition of a hero... Is a brave person who stands out in a crowd or does something heroic that everyone will praise them for. Heroes don't do something to look cool they do things because they have to be done to help somebody else.
Yes the three boys are heroes according to my definition because during the day of the burning church Pony-boy and Johnny chose to enter the burning building to save the kids. Dally and the other soc was telling them to leave the blasting kids and let them burn but the boys couldn't stand letting that happen.

My definition of hero is somebody who does something big or small to help another person. A hero is a person that puts their own best interests aside and puts others in danger first. Heroes stay cool in bad situations and do not freak out under pressure.

I think a hero is someone that would help someone that needed help for example like Dally he is a hero to johnny because he sove his life this is a true hero in the book but another hero would be johnny because he sove ponyboys life when he was getting drowned. I think these are some good things in the book that proves there is a hero and thats what I think a hero is.

My definition of a hero is someone who is unselfish enough to put their own lives in danger to save someone else’s. Yes the three boys do fit my definition of a hero. Johnny and Ponyboy risked their lives to go into that burning church and save those little kids. Then Dally went in and saved Johnny after the big piece of wood fell on him. They all could have died from that incident and they knew it too but they went in anyway.

My definition of a hero is someone that you look up too and trust. But a hero can be anyone you want. It doesn’t have to be someone you know or someone you never even spoken too. Yes I think that the three boys consider themselves as heroes because Jonny and Ponyboy saved eight kids in a church that was on fire risking their lives for them. Jonny saved Ponyboy from being drowned to death by one of the Soc’s gang member Bob. Dally helped Ponyboy and Jonny get out of trouble by running away from the cops to a hideout.

A hero to me is someone that that people looks up to. Someone that is really kind, and people that do really good things. A hero dont need to save someone life, or really do anything. Its just someone who someone looks up to.

Yes, i consider the three boys to be a hero because Johnny and Ponyboy saved the little kids from the burning down church. They could of easily died their selfs. Dally is a hero too because he went to go and help Johnny and Ponyboy save the little kids, because Johnny and Ponyboy couldnt find their way out of the burning down church.

My definition of a hero is someone that younger people can look up to and soemone who does good things. A hero doesn't always have to save someones life, a hero can just be a normal person who likes to help out around there community.
Yes, I think Johnny and Ponyboy are heros because they risked their lifes to save children, they went into a burning church and Ponyboy got out of the only a couple burning and cuts, but Johnny got burned badly and broke his back.

My definition of a hero people who do nice things for people. Yes I would say they are heroes because they saved those little kids from the fire. Plus they did not even know if they would come back out of there.

Nick said...

My own definition of a hero is someone that helps others,Yes I think that the boys are heros becaus the risked there live to save some children from a burning down building that was about to collapse.

My Definition of a hero is someone who is brave enough to go against the odds,that day Johnny,Ponyboy,and Dally saved those kids from a fire was just proof of being a hero. I also think that being a hero was about saving people and bringing criminals to Justice!
