I would have to say a hero is a good person. A hero in my opinion would have to be Elie the author of Night, Elie is a hero because he showed the whole world what a terrible thing the holocaust was. Elie is a hero because he stood up to the SS, Hitler, he helped his father his best he could by giving him foo and water in his time of need, he also did not abandoned his father like Rabbi Although son did. Elie is also a good hero because even though he gave up faith he did not stop trying to fight Hitler and the Nazi regime. Elie is also a hero because he showed the world that is you keep your butt in line you can do anything you wanna do.
