Gandhi1
When asking a person who their hero is one might start pulling names of superheroes out of comic books. To most teenagers, heroes have to have the ability to fly, see through walls, stop a train with their bare hands, or save the world with their superhuman powers. There is a man, however, who exhibits none of these characteristics but is still considered a hero to most people. Such a man is Mohandas Gandhi. Heroes do not always have to be shown wearing a cape or costume. Instead, true heroism comes from your good virtues and wisdom. With his courage Gandhi stood up for his people’s rights against British control. During the times when Britain took over, the Indian’s rights were limited and they did not have the same equal rights as the white settlers. Many of the things Gandhi was known for were his determination. The first time when he didn’t succeed in winning back India’s independence, he tried again and again protesting in many ways possible. Gandhi was most famous for his non-violence act, which taught people that fighting is wrong and that it is not the answer to anything. This act put in greatly to the freedom of India. It is through these traits that made Gandhi a hero.
