I believe that being heroic is doing something for the good of others. To me, anyone can be a hero. It does not take a cape and superpowers to be a hero. Those are just the ones we know and love the most. We have all heard of Batman and Superman. They are a good kind of hero, but there are also good heroes in real life.

To me, a hero can do many things. I think that anyone that is helping out the good of others is a hero. There are different levels of heroes, but they are all doing something good. I think another thing is doing something good most of the time. You can’t just do something good once and call yourself a hero. There are lots of things that need to be done in this world to help people out.

I don’t know if we use the term hero for people anymore. We label them as a hero at the time they are doing something good. Every time you hear the names: Batman and Superman, you think hero. When people do something good, it is more of a “you’re my hero” and that is it. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is only in the “you saved my life” situations. It is good to be a hero at one point in your life.

On the other hand, being villainous is doing something not good for other people. It is just the opposite of being a hero. You do things to hurt people and get pure enjoyment out of it. This is like being the Joker or the Green Goblin. They both enjoyed watching people die. Being villainous is not a good thing. It is mean and evil.

Sometimes being villainous can come from your life experiences. I think of serial killers. Typically something has happened to the person as a kid or any other time and set them off. I think if you ever kill someone, that makes you a villain. It is not right to kill people because you want to. It is not your right to walk around and kill innocent people because you feel like it.

Being villainous is not only killing people. That just tends to be the outcome of it. It can also include torturing someone or sabotaging them. It is not a good thing to hurt people. Being villainous is not something that anyone should do or be. It is not a good thing for anyone. It may help some people that are villainous to kill people and it may make them feel good,  but is not helping anyone else. It is being selfish and greedy.

Like you said in class, being heroic means that you like doing things to help other people, and being villainous is the things you don’t like in life. I don’t think anyone should murder or kill anyone so that is being villainous to me. I like to help people in life and do good things for others, so in my opinion, that is being a hero. I think it is that simple.
