Carlyle Hero

Carlyle believes that there are different versions of heroes and that unbelief in heroes is a sign of spiritual disease (Carlyle 607).

 The hero that I created does not have a name because he keeps his identity secret and appears as a regular person, despite his cape and mask. He is a hero because he puts others first and is always ready to help anyone that needs assistance. Though he is very capable of accomplishing big missions, he views small tasks, like helping old ladies cross the street, just as important. He is humble and kind. He can always be counted on to save the day! “His word is the wise healing word which all can believe in” (Carlyle 607). The quote is related because anybody can always know that the hero will keep his word and accomplish what he says he will.
