**__ ​ PERIOD 4 Defines what a hero is:__**


What we think is the most important hero trait and why: Victoria L. I think the most important character trait of a Hero is "good example". I think that's the most important one because you need a hero that's going to do the right thing in the worst situation. There's several different types of heros, ones that kill people, save people, help people, hurt people, etc. No one wants to be influenced by a hero that kills people, or hurts people.

Sarah W.

I think the most important character trait of a Hero is "Brave". I think brave is the most important because heros are willing to take a chance and there lives for something thats dangerous and or fighting a bad person so there brave for doing it. Many different heros are brave but some heros are ones that kill people and people might not be that fond. Allie M. I think the most important character trait of a Hero is "loyal". I think loyal is the most important character trait because they take time out of their lives to do something to someone else. I know i would'nt have a hero that leaves me hanging when i need them. A hero who says their loyal and leaves you is not really a hero. Do you have a hero that is loyal to you or your friends and family?

Becca R.

I think the most important character trait of a hero is "makes a difference." I think makes a difference is a good character trait for a hero because a hero is someone who makes a difference in your life or someone elses life. Heros can save your life or even just give you edvice, but its someone who can be there for you when you need them. Making a difference in someones life can be special to you and that other person called your hero.

**Today as a class we developed a possible thesis (theme) statement for the movie "October Sky", the statement is listed below:**
Sometimes following your dreams can be a struggle when everyone is telling you that you can't, but if you perservere you will go farther than you ever imagined.

__Here are some of our comments and connections to this statement and the movie:__

Becca R. Sometimes, people tell me or my brother that whatever dream we have of doing something or thinking something, is too big of a dream to shoot for. The little dreams we have as we are growing up, some of them we have acomplished, and proved others wrong. Now we can just look back at what we have done so far in our lives and tell others we have achived our small childhood dreams.

Sarah W. I have a big dream, and it has to do with singing, and when i'm at home all i here is you can't sing and it brings me down but i keep trying and i know that i can sing because most people tell me i can. I have accomplished many of my dreams and people regret saying the things they said to me. But all i can say is when i was little it was harder because half the things i wanted to do i couldnt do because i was so young but now that i'm as old as i'am i can do whatever i want to or dream to do.

Allie M. As most people know, i really have no idea what i want to do with my life. I have many things that i'm good at i just can not make up my mind. I hear that i can do everything and anything i want, if i put all my effort into it. Everyone has dreams and even though i have not made up mine, everyone can follow them, even if people tell them no.

Torii L. From all of my teachers I get "your a great reader", "your an amazing writter". And I do believe that I am both of them. When I grow up, I want to either be a writter, or on the news! I do believe in myself, that I will accomplish my dreams. If others get in the way of that, i'll push them aside, because it is my dream and I'm going to make sure that I get to dream it, because if I didn't get to it, then it wouldn't be a dream. However, I do have many more dreams, but that's just my biggest one, the one that i'm mostly determined to make sure that it comes true.
