It all comes down to this....

 The question still remains: What is a hero? It's such a vague, and general question, but is there really an apparent answer or solution? It's such a hard question, it is impossible to define it in one sentence without contradicting the statement. There is one similarity that all heroes have. From musicians to writers to soldiers they all are admired by at least one person.  And they all have been influential to that one person as well. As we have learned from poetic responses and expository biographies, heroes have eventful and fulfilling lives. I think heroes are best represented through the following categories:
Family
Community

All which have been seen and talked about in our biography section.  
The www. dictionary.com definition is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. This is wrong and right.  The definition is customized for each particular person's vision. Therefore, the question is not "What is a hero?", but "What is your vision?"
