HEROES

The bomb threats made me feel very uncomfortable in school because I was afraid that there really was a bomb that would blow up any second. I know it isn’t there because the person probably wouldn’t tell us if there really were a bomb. The reason why is if they wanted to hurt us they probably wouldn’t warn us. With the World Trade Center, the terrorists didn’t warn us about what was going to happen. If they had, there might be fewer people that were killed. The reason why is because then the people on the streets and inside the towers might have had a head start on getting out and they could start running away from the buildings faster.

I feel that Charlotte and Fern are heroes in Charlotte’s Web because if it weren’t for Fern Wilbur wouldn’t be alive and he would not have met Charlotte at all. Fern saved him by trying to get her father not to kill him. She told her father that it was the worst case of injustice that she had ever heard. Fern asked if she were very small would he have killed her. She also said that she didn’t see any difference between herself and Wilbur. I also feel that Charlotte is a hero because if it weren’t for her then Mr. Zuckerman would have killed Wilbur by the winter. By writing words into her web, Charlotte was able to keep Mr. Zuckerman from killing Wilbur. The words that she wrote were "Some Pig", "Terrific", "Radiant", and "Humble". It seems to me that Charlotte had risked her life for Wilbur. She kept telling Templeton to go to the dump and find scraps of writing so that she could weave it into her web to save Wilbur from Zuckerman.

A hero is a person that does a really great thing like helping you to get out of burning building. That person who helped you probably would be your hero. They are also mostly very kind people who are your heroes. Some of my heroes are the firemen who helped the people that were in the World Trade Center and who tried to put out the fire that was smoldering where the plane had just hit. The policemen and women are also my heroes. They helped people to get out of the building and helped find people in the now crumpled building.
