Carlyle Hero

This is Hero Man. Hero Man is selfless, brave, and wise. He risks his own life to save the lives of others on a daily basis. He is fast, strong, and handy with his sword. It is said that he can outrun a tornado, lift cars off the ground, and slice with precision every time he touches a sword. People can depend on Hero Man to be there whenever there is trouble. He uses a mask to keep his identity hidden from the people. “The great man, with his free force direct out of God’s own hand, is lightning” (Carlyle 607). Part of the connection that I made between Hero Man and this quote was his speed, but I also connected it to the fact that lightning is seen as a magnificent occurrence, and I tried to make Hero Man to be magnificent.
