They all deserve to be a hero
ReplyDeletebecause they all did a good deed
that changed the world in some way.
Something they all have in common
is that they all made a difference in some
way.For example,Ron Clark made a difference

i think i consider a hero like serpico,frank,wilma i think is a hero because ther people who tells the truth standes up to stuff brave and dont give up and the thing that they have in commen is that they never gave up they standed up to some thing that never belevid or bullyed them.
ReplyDeleteSerpico and Frank was considered they were both handicap in some sort of way and they were some of the fastest people and they were two of the best track athletes ever and that's why they are considered hero's because not many people can do that and be the fastest people in the world at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Jr. is considered a hero because he was fighting for civil rights because he wanted everyone to be treated the same because he did not believe their was any difference between different.He thought that it shouldn't matter if you was white or black we should i be able to do the same thing we want if other people can do it and it shouldn't matter where we sit on a bus or what water fountain we drink out of.
They are the similar because they both did something that noone else ever did and they are both known for doing something great
I think they all deserve the title they have because they're all brave and strong and they stick to what they believe. They are great role models and I think nobody should have doubt on them. They're strong because Serpico stood up for his case, Wilma continued her life with her running, and Martin Luther earned freedom. I think they all have a positive effect on people and if they don't they should. Some other things they have in common is the fact that they are positive and believers. Perfect reasons to have faith in them. They all are stuck into their opinions. I think they're perfect people to look up to and all people should know them and respect what they have done.
ReplyDeleteI think that they are heroes. One reason Martin Luther King Jr. is a hero is because he stood up for what he thought was right and if you don't then you might just get hurt. Wilma Rudolph is a hero because she never gave up on walking and then she started to run. Serpico is a hero because he knew that what others were doing was bad.
ReplyDeleteI think they are heroes because Martian Luther King Jr Is a hero because he stood up for what was right.I also think the deserve the tittle they all are brave to stand up for what was right. Serpico For his case told what he thought did what was right,Willma Continued his life for running that is how they all made a diffidence they all are perfect they stand up for what is right.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Jr. wanted to get rid of segregation laws against African Americans and he wanted to change ways for everyone. He made a difference and started changes for everyone. Wilma Rudolph ran and she had polio which made it hard for her to walk or run. She ended up running with he bad leg along with polio. Serpicio thought that certain things people did weren't right and he decided to do the right things and not bad things. They are all heroes in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMartin luther king jr. wanted to stop segregation against african amaericans.He canged alot of things.Wilma Rudolph had polio and she ran and polio made it hard to walk or run. Serpicio thought that things people did weren't right And he did good things not bad.Thier all heros in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThey all did something good
DeleteI think Serpico,Wilma and Frank because they all tell the truth they don't lie about things. they also stand up to stuff. they don't stop giving up they keep on trying.
ReplyDeletelike Wilma had a polarized leg and she kept on trying to walk farther and farther
and serpico got hurt really bad and he kept on working after he recovered.
I think a hero is like Martin Luther King Jr. because,he got rid of segregation for the African Americans and changed things for every one.A hero for means someone that stands out to me and,really means things to me like my dad. That's what matters.You also have to have your reasons too.
ReplyDeletethey were hero's because they did something good to be hero's

ReplyDeletei think they are all heroes because they were all trying and made big diffrences for there causes. and they all try ed to make the things that they did better and more nicer/better. but what makes them heroes that show that they are diffrent but dosent mean they are bad .
ReplyDeletethey all have in common is when they have courage when Martin Luther King Jr. was standing up for the black's no offence and when Serpico was a cop he did what was right but didn't want to get hurt. Rudolph she had courage that she outcome her cast what she had on.
ReplyDeletethey helped and did things for us and they also ran for us they said they let blacks and whites go to school together and the cop guy saved people and the girl said she can she never said i cant
ReplyDeleteThey are hero's by what they do not by anything else. Serpicio he toke a bullet to the head because of he wouldn't take bribes. He toke it for what he might let out about it.Wilma was born with medical problems and she might not have even lived to be 1 is what the doctors said but the mom didn't even believe that she knew her daughter would live. Then she got a bad leg that made her so Wilma didn't believe it and she stode up for what she believed in and Wilma did the unbelievable. She was able to walk again and was able to get 3 gold medals in her 1st year in the Olympics
ReplyDeleteKing was able to get White and black people together and actually like each other and know there is no difference in them. he stode up for them when nobody else would and he toke the price for it there is always a price. Kings was his life.
DeleteMartin Luther King Jr. wanted some changes around here for the laws for everybody and he stood up for what was right for everybody.He is a hero for making those changes. Also Wilma Rudolph ran in races. She had a bad leg in her childhood and it was really difficult for her to even walk her mom had to bath her a lot. And get her dressed. Wilma continued running because that was her dream. So they all had a dream. and they wanted to show the world that they can be right for once.
ReplyDeleteWilma Rudolph is a hero because when she was little her leg was hurt, and she was suppose to never be able to walk on it again and now she's a really good runner and wins a lot of medals and stuff.
ReplyDeleteFrank and Serpico are heros because they were cops, and always did what they believed in and told the truth and didn't care what people.
These people are considered heroes, because they all never gave up. They worked hard, to prove there point. When someone said they cant, they tried harder to show they can. That they will succeed. They will achieve there goal.
ReplyDeleteThese people fought for what they think is right. What they think will make the world a better place. There all considered Heroes because, they did something to prove that everyone matters, where all equal. They deserve the tittle just because of the things I have listed. Or the things I had said.
Each one of these heroes, did something to make the peoples lives better. They all put others first! Which in my book, makes them the great person they are. These men and woman are roll models, for everyone. And each of them had all these stuff in common. Each of these people, Frank, Serpico, and Martin Luther King Jr. are what makes the world a better place.

ReplyDeleteHero Blog
ReplyDeleteI believe that Serpico Rudolph and Martin Luther King earned all these classes as heroes because they did, one unbelievable things to show the world they could do it and two even the little stuff can count a lot. Serpico stop cop corruption at least and Martin Luther King stopped segregation and Rudpolh did amazing things inside the olympics.
All those people were heroes. They were heroes in their own way. Frank was a hero because he stopped bribes and made cops do their job. Wilma gave hope to the people that need it most by overcoming her disability. Martin didn't let the color of his skin affect him and helped stop segregation. They were all brave and never gave up they were all proud of what they did. They all helped the world .
ReplyDeleteFrank Serpico, Wilma Rudolph, and Martin Luther King are all heroes because they all stood up and did something brave that no one else would do. They all have accomplished things that no one else would think about doing. They all deserve the title of a hero because they never gave up and never listened when someone told them they couldn't do what they wanted to do.
ReplyDeleteI think that they can all be considered heroes because they faced the world and won. Frank didn't take bribes and rebelled against those who were corrupted by money. Rudolf was born light almost died but came back to become an Olympic gold medalist. Martin was tired of unfair rights and rallied an army to change the world forever.
ReplyDeleteThey were all heros in a way because Frank helped stop crime that was in the corrupt police force. Also Rudolph persevered when she knew it probably wouldn't work but it did and she came back and was a winner in the olympics. King was a hero because he led many people to success to get civil rights. What they all had in common was they provided an example of what to do to other people. That is what a hero is because they help the world in a way and a example is a way to help.
ReplyDeleteFrank Serpico, Wilma Rudolph, and Martin Luther King Jr. were heroes because they all had ambition. They fought for what they wanted/believed in. Wilma wanted to get better and be like everyone else. She went beyond that and competed in the olympics. Frank knew wrong from right and did the right thing, even though he knew that the other police officers wouldn’t like that. Martin, as he would put it, “had a dream.” He wanted to help spread equality to other races.
ReplyDeleteThey all had one three things that made them similar. Ambition, bravery, and passion. They all had ambition because they desired to make something better or right. All three of them were brave because they didn’t give up. They faced their problems. Lastly, they all had passion. They all had passion because they felt like they should improve something. They all had goals. They didn't just give up.
Each story is a hero because they do the things that make up a hero. Also they will fight for someone they love or what they belive in. Also if they do something that they feel is right they will say something to fix it. Also they all are good people and are nice and fun. Also they will do what they belive is right.
ReplyDeleteI believe That Ron Clark Is not a hero Maybe in some peoples eyes but to me he is just a great teacher.I believe That Frank Is a hero He did things that many other cops would not do.I do not believe Wilma Is a hero I think its amazing That She walked and became an olympic runner but that not a hero.
ReplyDeleteAnd Martin Luther King Jr. Is A hero He stood up for what he believed in and tried to make a stand and change it.
Frank Serpico, Wilma Rudolph, and Martin Luther King Jr, were hero's because they all had things in common. If they believed in something they fought to make it come true. Martin Luther King Jr had a dream for races, because everyone was against black people and he wanted it to be the same for everyone. Wilma Rudolph wanted to be like everyone else, She was an amazing runner, and she competed in the Olympics. Frank knew wrong from right and did right things, Even when all of the police officers would not like it.
ReplyDeleteThey all had things in common that made them similar. Bravery, and passion. Bravery because they were brave enough to do what they thought was right. When Martin Luther King was brave to make that speech in front of millions of people. Wilma was brave to take a chance in the Olympics, and it was worth it because she won, And it was brave for frank to do what was right even though it caused the police to go after him?
This is way i think Wilma Rodloph,Frank Serpico,Dr. King were heroes.I think that makes a hero is that they are nice,kind,honest,trustful.I think Wilma was a hero because she never gave up and tried she hardest in life.Frank was a hero because he work alone because no one wanted to work with him and one of his partner shot him and the did not rush to save him.Martin Luther king Jr was a hero because he tried to make equal and not separate them by there race or skin,he made marches to free people from being judged be there race or skin color.I this is way I think this makes the heroes.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think they all had in common is that they fight for what they believe and want, because Frank fought for when either police officers took illegal bribes he fought to make them stop. Next is Wilma because she fought to get her leg to work again so she can walk, but even though no one believed she could she turned out to be the fastest woman in the world. Lastly is Dr.King Jr. he fought for civil rights so that we all can be free and even though he died trying to fight for rights he made so much of a movement before he died we got civil rights.
ReplyDeleteFrank Serpico is considered a hero because he kept the world safe from bad guys/ crimes , he also sacrificed his life every day for is town, and his country! Wilma Rudolph is also considered a hero because when she was a baby she was expected not to live, BUT she did and once she was living and healthy then she wasn't even supposed to walk but that never stopped her, she wanted to achieve her dreams, SO SHE DID and went farther in life. Martin Luther King was considered a BIG hero because he fought for blacks to have the rights they deserved, and he made it far! They all are considered heroes because they all three made big differences to the world. They all fought for what they believed in and all of them achieved something in life.
ReplyDeleteWilma Rudolph. A runner. She is a hero. She is a hero because when she was born she was only 4.5 pounds. She grew up wearing this huge brace because she couldn't walk. Her family took her to a place to get a special massage that was supposed to make her better. Her family couldn't afford it so they learned how to do the massage them self's. Wilma got better and was able to get into the Olympics. Wilma proved that if you work hard you can do anything. Frank Serpico. He was a cop. He was a good cop though. All the other cops would take bribes and demand free food from diners. Serpico would investigate and get proof so that the bad cops could be arrested and removed. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for the blacks to get there freedom from segregation. He worked hard and then gave his speech. Wilma, Frank and Marin all did something to change the world. They made everyone believe that you can do anything and change the world with hard work and determination.
ReplyDeletei think martian Luther king is a hero to most people for trying to end racism and other things to African American.I think that people like martian Luther king, Rosa parks ,and people like that are heroes and great role models in are cocietey today
ReplyDeleteThe thing they all had in common was they were all African american and they all fought for them selves and others
Deletei think that what hero are is what they did to Desiree that roll like martian did his speak was like all of us trying to stop bullying it is something they did to earn that roll that what i think hero is
ReplyDeleteRudolf is a hero that is true here is why. first off let me explain some thing. when she was a young girl she was small,weak and couldn't walk. so her mom took her to a doctor and learned that a type of water massage could fix it. so after a while a lot of determination.
ReplyDeleteScorpio was a good cop. he did not take the bribes that were offered to him. he told people of what was happening instead. because of this he was shot in the head.
martin Luther king Jr was a human rights activist. he was a great man he fought for = rights(ha!) for African Americans. so that's what he did he staged protest against the law demanded that they be given rights. he was given a award and everything once he got them.
THERE IS ONE THING EACH OF THE HAD AND THAT IS DEMONETIZATION
The three hero's we learned about all recovered from hurt them mentally or physically like Wilma Rudolph she won three gold metals and she was told that she may never walk. Mr.King was hated by white because of his skin color look all color look up to him
ReplyDeleteWhat made them hero is that they had to overcome obstacle that test them.And why there consider hero because they are idelisa and they are the symbol of hope.
ReplyDeleteThey all all considered heroes because there is a lot of ways you can be a hero. Martin Luther King is consider a hero because he was trying to stop white and black separation in the south. Frank Serpico is considered a hero because he told about the cops who were taking the bribes from the drug dealers and he didn't eve though he could have made a lot of money. Wilma is a hero because she toke her team to win the competition after they dropped the baton. The characteristics that they all had in common was that they never gave up on what they were doing.
ReplyDeleteI think what all three have in common is overcoming outstanding odds. Frank Serpio helped create stricter rules for police forces when he could've benefited from what they were doing in the first place. Wilma Rudolph was said to never walk again and runs in the Olympics. Martin Luther King Jr. stood up for African- American rights as people of America.
ReplyDeleteThey are all heroes. Martin is a hero for the civil rights movement he believed in making all people equal. Serpico is a hero because he wanted police officers to be honest and ethical instead of taking bribes and lying for money. Rudolph is a hero because she was determined even with her bad past to win the gold medal. That is why these three individuals are heroes.

ReplyDeleteFrank Serpico is a cop who was not scared to reveal the corruption of the other cops at the precinct where he was. Rudolph was a hero just like the other Rudolph she wasn't going to be stopped by anything. Martin Luther king was going to make things right and end segregation even after it was officially over. Whether you are a cop trying to be a good cop, a man with a dream or a sprinter who couldn't walk none of them could be stoped.
ReplyDeleteThey were all hero's in their own ways. Serpico was a hero because he followed the rules and told on the cops who weren't, and were accepting bribes from criminals. Wilma was a hero because she lead her team to win after they had made a big mistake. And Martin Luther King was a hero because he stopped black and white segregation. They all did have one thing in common, Wilma could have just gave up on the race, but she didn't. Serpico could have made a lot of money by breaking the law and accepting bribes. And Martin Luther could have let black and white segregation happen, but he didn't. So all of them did what they had to do and didn't stop until they succeeded.
ReplyDeleteThey all three were heroes, Even though they all did something completely different. What they all did was overcome the Odds of them never doing or changing something. Martin stood up to all those people, and CHANGED the way others looked upon everyone. Wilma Went On and DID SOMETHING that the doctors said she would never be able to do again. Lastly, Frank CHANGED The Police Forces, even though he could've Benefited from them as they were.
ReplyDeleteSerpico Was An Honest Cop, Who Just Wanted The Corruption In The Police Force To End, He Told The Public About the Corruption, And The Public Were OUTRAGED, They Demanded A Full Scale Search, Some People Got Fired,
ReplyDeleteWhen Frank Was Shot In The Head, None Of His Three Partners Came To Help,
Wilma Rudolf, Was Born With A Leg Issue, And Couldnt Walk, But That Didnt Stop Her, She Was Taken To A Clinic And Her Mom Was Told What To Do To Help, Her Mother And Familly Did As So, And After A While She Could Walk, First With A Brace, Then Without The Brace, So, When She Could Walk WIthout The Brace, And Was Discovered, After Some Training, She Got Into The Olympics, Inspiring Disabled People, To Follow Their Dreams,
Martin Luther King, Was A Black Man, In A White Mans World, His Race Was Hated Apon, Riots, And Etc, And MLK Was Determined To Put An End To It, So He Dedicated His Life To His Cause, And What Did He Get? What He Wanted, And Assassinated, Racism Is Not Okay, Even When It Was The Social Standard,
