  • Heard the story of the subway hero.

    I thought the subway hero's story was very inspiring.

  • Read the first chapter of John McCain's book, learned about the heroic story of Roy Benavides.

    I could not fully wrap my mind around Roy Benavides' heoric story!

  • I started to think about the hero I was going to research.

    I had several ideas, such as Anne Frank, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks. I wanted to research the drummer of my favorite band, The Beach Boys, Dennis WIlson. I ended up deciding he did not quite fit my definition of a hero.
