In the Leading Man the boy with the keys for fingers at the end of the story ends up saving a little kid from suffocating in a metal shed. There was a debate in class over whether this mad him a hero or not. Many people in the class said that he wasn't a hero because it was sort of his duty to use his last key finger to save the boy. Yet I believe that the boy with the key fingers was a hero because he did have the choice not to open the shed, not to take that chance. Every day there are firefighters that save people ad they are considered heroes even though this is their job.

In The Evening and the Morning and the Night I believe that the people with DGD are heroes in their own way. They have learned to come to terms with the disease and make their lives productive anyway. Also the people at Dilg are helping people everyday and they also understand what their patients are going through. They help them keep their sanity and in this they are heroes. They are saving them from their fate for just a little longer. In reality I believe that you don't have to do something dramatic and glamorous to be a hero. All you have to do is go out of your way to help someone, and in a small way this makes you a hero.
