Topic: Ernest Hemingway

  I agree with Ernest Hemingway that having heroes is necessary. For the young heroes can show direction and provide examples for how life can be and the opportunities that are available for those who try. For the older person heroes can provide different options.

  As one gets older illusions in life are replaced with hard realities. For example how can one cope with illness, the loss of close friends, and the many other problems that occur. Heroes for these people can give hope and courage.

  A hero does not have to be a famous personality like Sister Teresa, Michael Jordan or Madonna; a hero can be a coworker, a friend who has made the best of a sticky situation, or anyone who has survived an ordeal and can demonstrate the opportunities that can come out of crisis.

   Besides support heroes can provide examples of options that are available. Often when there are trying times a person could think what would my hero do in this situation. How would they solve this problem. This can enable a person to make a tragedy into a victory by opening new

Options.
