What about our everyday heroes? __Everyday Heroes__  Policemen Firefighters Doctors Social Workers Military The list goes on and on...

Some very common people that are seen as heroes to us, our parents. They have been heroes in our lives from the day we were born. They helped us learn how walk, ride a bike, and throw a baseball.

//To Kill A Mockingbird// __Heroes__ Also Atticus could be seen as very courageous because he defended Tom Robinson. Many people did not like that he was defending a black, but he stood up for what he believed in. **
 * Atticus has been a hero to Scout and Jem by being their father. He has raised them and loved them.** **
 * In chapter 15, we meet the Ku Klux Klan and we also meet a hero in the book, Scout. She is in a situation that causes her to break up a riot, but she did not know what she was doing or what was going on. We believe that this incounter is going to cause other events to follow that will have an effect on the story. Many people could have been harmed or killed at this time . The people were very motivated about what they were doing and they wouldn't let anyone got in their way.Scout preventd this from happening. In this way she was a hero.

Jem is a hero on the story because he isalways trying to protect his little sister Scout.

Dr.Reynolds is also a hero because as Scout said he was their when ever the family needed him. Along with Dr.Reynolds, Heck Tate was also ther whenever he family needed them. Boo Radley was the last hero that we meet. He risked his own life to save Scout and Jem from Bob Ewell. Everybody thought that he was a bad guy, but really he was the Superman in the story. **
