<p>Heroes</p>
<p>There are some heroes that will be remember for the principals they stood for. Some heroes may be forgotten, but there legacy will always be remembered. This is shown in history and literature. Many people may not remember what terry fox looked like but they participate in the Terry Fox run. Not many people remember the faces of war heroes but they wear poppies to symbolize the sacrifice they made. Finally, references to Jesus are represented by crosses that Christians wear. </p>
<p>Many people may not remember what Terry Fox looked like but his legacy lives on. Terry Fox was a regular guy who wanted to make a difference. He lost his leg due to cancer. This didn’t deter him. He ran across Canada on one leg to raise money for Cancer research. He died in the middle of his run due to cancer spreading. But, his legacy lives on. Each year people around the world run in the Terry fox Run to raise money for Cancer research. Currently, he has raised more than 300 million dollars. Does this suggest he has been forgotten? On the contrary his legacy has grown each year.</p>
<p>War heroes of the past are not forgotten either, the poppy symbolizes the sacrifice they made. Many Canadians won’t remember Private Milne. Until recently I didn’t know he was a hero. I didn’t know that he help Canada and the Alliances defeat Germany during World War 2. Milne isn’t a name most people remember. They don’t know he was alone when he made a dash towards the German Defense on Vimy. Or that he disarmed Germany’s tanks and gunners. If I asked my niece she wouldn’t know who he is. Even if I show her a picture she still wouldn’t know. But, she wears a poppy over her heart to show her respect for the sacrifices they made. Heroes of the past may not be know, but each year poppies are worn over the heart to honor men like Private Milne. </p>
<p>Finally, know one will ever forget Jesus. He was sent by God as a sacrifice for Adam and Eve’s sin in the Garden of Eden. Most Grade schoolers have heard of Jesus. Surely, if you ask them why he was a hero they wouldn’t know that he was sent to attone for human sin. Afterall, how many children know what sin is ? But his legacy lives with the crosses that are worn. Eventhough, many people have never read about Jesus in the Bible, they still wear croses to show their respect for sacrifice he made. Two thousand years later his legacy has grown many times. Movies may distort why he was sacrificed. Bible stories may change. But Jesus lives on as a hero with the croses displayed on our chests.</p>
<p>Heroes of the past are replaced with new heroes of today. Ancient heroes of the past had magical powers that transcended human abilities. This enabled Goliaths to be slain and magical powers to emanate from spectures. Those heroes are replaced by new ones. Today’s heroes run on one leg, and fight in wars. Heroes are never forgotten. They are honored by running, wearing poppies and crosses to honor the sacrifices they made.</p>
