No, courage does not alwas involve a loss. Why, sometimes it has great rewards! People start to like and befriend you and ,ost people respect you! Heroes are not born heroes. Anybody can bea hero if they chose to be! You only have to have a sense of what is right. I think you have to win to be a hero because if you die trying to be a hero people will only think you where a fool. He don't have to get a reward to be a hero. Sometimes the people you are a hero too have nothing to spare.- Evan
ReplyDeleteYes, Courage does involve a loss, because to gain courage you have to go through adversity to get courage. No, you don't have to be born different, a hero can be formed at any point in time. Yes, you have to do a heroic act to gain heroism. I agree that a hero should not get out of something, unless it involves getting hurt in the battle to do something heroic in the first place.

ReplyDeleteI think that courage does include a loss because be courageous, you need to have motivation that keeps you going on your quest.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that a hero has to be different at birth. I think that a hero becomes separated from everyone else when they practice skills a lot.

I think that being courageous doesn't really include a loss because yes losing something will help you on your journey but even if you didn't lose something you still can do the same thing as if you did lose something. I think when a hero is born they are not different than anyone else. Again I disagree because they really don't need to win it just matters that if everyone thinks you can't do anything and you end up beating many people then finally taking on the best of the bad guys and you end up losing, what matters most is that you proved everyone wrong and never gave up.

No, I do not think that having courage includes a loss because you will do the same thing if you had a loss. I think that it is crazy that think people think a hero is born differently than other people. I think a hero looks just the same as everyone else. You wouldn't be able to tell if someone is super nice but you could tell if the were super strong. If you only win, people will think something is up. Its natural to lose sometimes. I f you do something heroic for money, you could be considered a hero. If you do something heroic and get experience, you would get more recognition for what you did.

I disagree that you have to win to be a hero.You can lose somthing but still try your best and that is all that any of us can do.Sometimes you try your best at something and lose beacouse you just need to practice.

To be a hero does not mean you have to have a sacrifice or loss. You can be just as normal as you and me. You don’t need to win all the time to be hero; you just need to be brave and courageous. A hero shouldn’t get a reward for something the hero did.
ReplyDeleteDaniel
Courage does need a loss because you need a reason to get courage. Heros do not allways have to be born diffrent, some are born regular and become a hero. No some heroes are losers that become heroes. Yes because heroes don't need a reward

Yes, courage has its ups and downs, and one of the downs would be the losses, because if you want to be bold you have to make a sacrifice of some sort. I think that some super heroes like Spider-Man were born into the mankind we call normal, but was bitten b a radioactive spider. No, every body makes mistakes, and has their losses. Not necessarily, but sometimes you have to save something you love, like your pet when your house is burning down with no reward.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that in most movies the hero makes a sacrifice but wins in the end they are usually separated from the rest at the beggining they are either smart or a total loser but become awesome at the end

I do not think that a hero needs to win in the end. In the movie moneyball, the team that was the underdogs and main team. They did not win but were still considered one of the best teams in baseball.
ReplyDeleteI think that if a person does something that is heroic, but only to get something, they are not a hero. But if they do something and end up getting a reward, they can still be a hero.
