Heroes

   In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, Winston Smith believes that there are no heroes. As it states in the book, “In the face of pain there are no heroes, no heroes, he thought over and over as he writhed on the floor, clutching uselessly at his disabled left arm”, Winston was tortured, it hurts him a lot but he never broke down. No one helped him while he was being tortured and that brought him to the fact where he believed that there are no heroes. Heroes are people that are looked up to for their braveness and noble qualities. There are many heroes here in the United States of America.

   Heroes here in the United States of America are recognized a lot for what they’ve done. For example, firefighters, the militaries and people who helped in Hurricane Sandy are known as heroes. Firefighters risk their lives for people that they don’t even know. They put out fires which is very dangerous, to try and save many people. The militaries would fight for their country and protect their people as well. People who had helped in Hurricane Sandy also risk their own lives to try and save many individuals.
