Heroic Qualities

After taking a long look at my heroic artifacts I think I have found what it takes. I would have to say the most important characteristic is having the ability to stand up for what you think. This occured in the Jackie Robinson passage, the MLK speech, and also the Patrick Henry quote. I think that this is the most important because it is one thing to know what is right but taking it into action is another. All these people stood up for what they believed and made great changes from it. The other characteristic is pretty obvious and that would be bravery. This is a great characteristic because these people had actions that could have totally backfired, but they did it anyway. Taking this extra chance and being brave changes them from an ordinary person into a hero.
