A hero is a person. A hero is great. A hero is a like a superhero! They take care of you, they help you, they love you, and they save your life. Aslan is a hero because he saved Edmund to die himself. Jesus is like Aslan because he saved Logan, Sawyer,Riley ,Dejay , and everybody else in the world! Aslan and Jesus are very simular. They both died for somebody, they both saved somebody's blood, and they both are good. They are different because Jesus died for over 50 billion people. Aslan died for one kid. My parents are heroes to me. They have all the characteristics of a hero. They take care of me, they love me, they save me, and they help me in life. You can be a hero in many different ways. You can save people whenever you want. You could just tell somebody about God and you will be a hero. God likes it when you tell someone about Him because that's one more person that can go to the Holy Place. Heaven.

A hero is not just a dude in tight pants and a cape. They are someone that does good for other people when they don't know what to do. They are someone who is kind and brave. In "The Lion, the Witch and th Wardrobe" Aslan is a hero because he is brave and cares about others and wants peace everywhere.(even with the Witch) Aslan sent a search party for Edmund to save his life from the Witch killing him.
Jesus is a hero to me because he was willing to die on the cross for US. He cared about us SO much he DIED so we could have eternal life. How AMAZING is that?! Aslan and Jesus are simalar because the both wanted peace, the both died for us, and they died to save someone. They are different because Aslan died to save ONE person and Jesus died to save EVERYONE!
One of my heroes is Grandpa Tink. (it's short for Tinklenberg) He faught in the Vietnam war. He got shot in the leg but God blessed him and he was okay. We all can be a hero somehow, it's just sometimes we don't take the chances we have to be a hero. We don't have to do superhero stuff or save someone from a fire or disconnect a bomb and save the world or something, we can just do something good to help someone and something they would appreciate. I think anyone can be a hero to others!

A hero is a person who stands up for their beliefs. A hero also is a person who loves the Lord and will die for him. A hero will help anyone beacaus thats what Jesus wants. A hero's charasticks are they love the lord, the help the poor or needy, they'll die for God, they are always to be trusted, and they are nice. Aslan was a hero by dieing for Edmund and he killed the White Witch. Jesus is a hero to me because he died for me and everyone else. Jesus is also a hero beacause he didn't get tempted and did meracles. Aslan and Jesus are like eachother beacause they both died to do something, they both heal wounds, the both are really kind,they both rose again in three days,and they both forgive. They are different beacause Jesus teached about God and Aslan didn't. William Hunter is a hero to me beacause he died for beliving in Christ. He also was given chances to denie his faith if he would have denied his faith he would get lots of money and would be high ranking in the country. William Hunter did not denie his faith. I can be a hero to someone by being a friend an loving. I can also be a hero by giving them care and what they want.

A hero is someone who either saves someone's life ... A hero is someone who either saves someone's life or someone who is really showing the Fruits Of the SPIRIT. YOu can be a hero by really stiking up for what you believe in. Some characteristics of a hero is to be kind to everyone, show how a Cristain acts, having pateint, and having self-control.

Aslan (the good guy for the book) is a hero because He was being very kind to the girls. He was also a hero by not fighting back at the bad people. He was saving Edmund by getting killed.

Jesus is a hero by NEVER EVER giving into temptation. He SAVED OUR lives by being crusified! Jesus IS AND WAS an amazing man.

Aslan and Jesus are alike because they both save somebody's life. And again they are both AMAZING people! They are different because Aslan is a lion and Jesus is a human. Also Aslan is just a Charictor for a book and Jesus is someone you can SEE NOT in a mavie or a book.

I think my monm is a hero to me because she brings me to school every day and she is nice to me. She is always doing my landry and acts acording to the Fruits of the Spirit. I can be a hero to someone by notmaking fun of them and to teach them the wordof GOD.

Does a hero HAVE to save someone's life in order to be a true hero??? What do you think?

I think a hero is someone who is coragus and doesn't give up. Somone who makes a great sacrafice for another. Like how Jesus died for us on the cross to save us from our sins.
A hero has to be full of love, be wiling to sacrafice, be very kind, and be very brave.
Aslan is a hero in "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" because he sacraficed himself to save another person he hadn't even met.
Jesus is a hero to me because he died to save me and all of us. He made the altamant sacrafice for us.
Jesus and Aslan are similar because they both died for other people and both were peacful and did not risist when they Knew it had to be done.
Th ey are differnt because Aslan is an animal in Narnia and you can feal and see him. God is in heaven waiting for us and we can't just go and touch him or visit him in heaven but we can talk to him in prayer.
God is my hero because he died for us. My dad is also a hero to me. He is who I look up to. He is my hero because he is always there for me and he is fun to do things with.
You can be a hero to someone by being there friend when no one is nice to themc or by helping them when they are hurt.

A hero is somone who stands up for other people. Such as Martin Luther King Jr. Harriet Tubman also was a hero for leading over 300 people from slavery! A hero also cares,loves,and at any risk will save somone. A true hero will take action when somthig is wrong.
Aslan is a hero to Edmund in the
Lion the Witch and the wardrobe because Aslan saved Edmund's life by taking his place to die. Jesus is my hero because he saved me from sin.
Aslan and Jesus are alike because the both died and reserected. They are different because one is a lion and one is a man, and one is in a fantsy book and the other realy did come to Earth in a form of a man. Jesus is my hero. Why. Because he saved me from my sins by dieing on the cross. If somone is being pick on I can be their hero by standing up for them.

A hero is a person that does something really good to help your country.Hero's also help others and do good deeds.A hero is also someone who sticks out and does something really amazing.A hero's character is to be nice,helpful,and
caring to the community.Another character of a hero is to be loyal to everyone.Aslan was a hero in the lion the witch and the wardrobe
sparing Edmund's life,and dieng for nothing he ever did.Jesus is a hero to me by helping me through hard tasks,and not letting me to give in to Satan.Aslan in similar to Jesus,because Aslan didn't fight to try and get away when he was going to die,neither did Jesus.
Aslan is a lion and Jesus is a human God living within our hearts.To me I think what makes up a hero is a person who really sticks up for what they believe in.
And who really makes a difference in our community.If you have God in your hearts you can be a hero.I can help someone that needs help or who needs a friend!

A hero is a person who does something great like save someone live or a bunch of peoples lives. A hero can also be somebody who gives up his/her life for you. Four charateristics of a hero are braveness, courage, knowledge of what you're doing, pateince, and even sometimes kindness. Aslan was a hero by dieing to save Edmund and free him from the witch. Jesus is a hero to me because he knew dieing on the cross would hurt a lot but yet he also knew he had to save us. Jesus is also a hero to me because he knew the consiquences of preching God's word but he still did it anyway he also is a hero to me because he performed many miracles to help people who had a disease or something like that. Aslan and Jesus are similar because they both died to save people for there sins they are also similar because they help win the battle against Satin or in Aslan's case the White Witch. They are different because Aslan is a lion and God is a spirit they are also different because Aslan has a bunch of odd creatures on his side and God has human beings on his side. A hero to me is Kevin Garnett what makes him a hero to me is that he doesn't take drugs like a lot of sports players. He is also a hero because he doesn't play dirty and hurt other people when he plays. I can be a hero by just simply helping people when they really need help like if someone needs something really bad I could give it to them if I have what they need.

A hero is someone who you look up to. A hero is someone that you can trust. They also do good things for us and other people.
Aslan was a hero in The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe by saving Edmund from the witch.
Jesus is a hero to me because He died on the cross for my sins. Aslan is simalar to Jesus because they both died for a sin and they are both strong and brave.
They are differant because one is a Lion and one is a human and Jesus died for all of our sins and Aslan died for Edmund.
Jesus is a hero to me because He died for me. He also risked His life for me. Also He did not rip Himself off the cross just because He did not want to die, He died for Me.
I can be a hero to someone by helping them out.

My mom and dad are heros to me because they gave me food and a house to sleep in. My grandpas and grandmas because they spoil me, my brother, and my sister. I can be a hero by cleaning up trash around the school.

A hero is a person who can take care of you. For ecsample your mom could be a hero to you. Your dad could be a hero somone who looks out for you. Your dad or your mom or even your brother or sister could be a hero becouse they look out for you and the are nice to you. In lion the witch and the wardrobe Aslon is a hero. He is a hero becouse protects the creaturs in Narnia And he acts like God .Aslon is like God becouse he represens him in the movie and book.God acts the same way to us. Jesus is a hrero to me becouse i always no hes there for me and hes standing right next to me every second of the day and every hour and every minit of the day. Aslon and Jesus are similer becouse Aslon is God in the movie and God is the reall real God who ruls the whole world.They are different becouse Aslan is a lion and Jesus is a human. My mom is a hero to me. She is a hero to me becouseShe lookes out for me and wates over me.

A hero is somebody who inspiersa you and you give him your respect like if your hero was God you will give Him your full atension like you always want to here what your person or hero has to say. Also a hero is some one who protecs you and dose not let you get harmed like your mom she might be your hero and she trys her best to keep you from harm. And maby your dad is your hero and he makes sure you don't get hurt or play with dangerus tools.

My heros characteristics are she has dark hair and she is a nurs and she makes sure I don't get hurt. Aslan was a hero by sending a surch party to find Edmund and to make sure he was ok and not hurt. Jesus is hero to me because he died for our sins and then rose agian so we would not have tp parish. Aslan and Jesus are similar because the both care about their people. They are differnt because Jesus toled them someone would betray him and Aslan said nothing about his death.

My hero is Jesus because He died for us and loved us o much for doing that. Jesus is also my hero because He new were going to sin and then he died. Also because He new he had the power to get down from the cross but he did it for us. I can be a hero to someone by being there for them in need and stick up for them.

A hero does someone that does
something good it doesn't have to be something like saving the world it can be little things like being kind, but Jesus made the altmate sacrifice he died on the cross to save us from our sins. A true hero has to show the fruits of the spirit and has to care for people and be nice and selfless thats what Jesus did he only thought of others he deid to save US. Aslan in the lion Witch and the wardrobe he is like god he died for Edmund just like god died for us. Jesus is a hero to me because he died so i could live, he made me and this WONDERFUL creation. Jesus and Aslan are also different like Aslan is a lion and Jesus is a human (kinda he was in a human body). A hero is a loving person who puts others ahead of himself. A hero is a person thet helps with little things to like helping someone cross the street or mowing someones lawn without getting paid. I can be a hero by doing little things but i have to follow God!!!

Miss Te Slaa you can just do something good for someone else.

A hero inspires you to do somthing good. It could even inspire you to read the Bible. I think a hero is like a good person on your side that helps you almost every day.


A characteristic of a hero might just be helping you. It also might be somone you like that does good things for every one. And it might be even saving your home from a big, big fire. It could be just one small thing like helping out at the banquet.

Aslan is a hero in "the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." He is because he lets the white witch take his life to save Edmond.

Jesus is just like Aslan. They both died and rose again. They are different because Aslan is a lion and Jesus is a man.

My hero is my dad. He takes care of me every day. He's even a police officer. That's a very good job to have.

I can be a hero to my sisters by helping them when they need help.

A hero is someone who you look up to and trust. They change and help people. They are brave, kind, helpful,and life-changing. Aslan was a hero because he saved Edmund's life. Jesus is a hero because he saved us from our sins. They both saved lives. Aslan is a fictional character and Jesus is not. Martin Luther (not the black guy) is my hero. He changed the Cathloics to a different religion. He is a hero because we aren't catholics. I can be a hero by showing the fruits of the spirit.

A hero is a person who helps you, it doesn't have to be in a special way. Like if my grades were bad and I didn't understand what my teacher said and someone helped me understand, that would be very nice of them. Most people think a heros are only people who save you from falling of a cliff or something, they are, but there are different kinds of heros. Some charicteristics of a hero are they're pretty brave, kind, willing to do something dangerous for your life or someone else's , and cares for others a little more than themselves.
Aslan is a hero because he said they could kill him instead of Edmund. Jesus is a hero to me because he died on the cross to save our sins. Jesus and Aslan are the same because they both care for others more than themselves. They're different because Aslan's a lion and we don't know what Jesus is and Jesus died for our sins and Aslan died for Edmund's life.
My parents are heros to me because they teach me so much. They teach me everything I need to know. From Jesus to schoolwork to housework to being health, they teach me everything. I can be a hero by helping someone, or being a friend, I don't have do something to make me famous I can just share my kindneess a bit everyday.

Aslan is a hero because he saved Narnia and did not use violence to do it. Jesus is a hero to me because he died on the cross for us. Asalan and Jesus are similar because they are very trustworthy and loving. You can trust them to love and protect you.I can be a hero to others by being trustworthy and faithful and lovig to others.

Heros are people who have done somthing that helps others in a way that means somthing to them.It might even mean having to save a ton of people from dieing.A hero is not someone who flies around in a cool costume fighting bad guys, if that's what you are thinking.No, a hero is someone who can save people, but in a different way, like saving slaves like what Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr.Or, I like people who fight for another man even if it means dieing, like Jesus who saved everyone on earth from their sins.Heros are nice,they are kind to others,they give you a helping hand,and they are happy.In the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe Aslan sacreficed his body for Edmund.Jesus is a hero to me because he saved me from my sins.Aslan is like Jesus because they both saved someone .
