I was on a cruise with my family and we were waiting to get back on the ship. I was 6 months pregnant and had been on my feet for a long time. I started to feel sick and dizzy so they let me go ahead of everybody to get on the ship. The people who were behind me in line (and heard me say I was pregnant and feeling dizzy) hurried past me to get to an empty elevator and filled it to capacity. One kid (he must have been about 12 years old) saw me almost in tears cuz now I'd either have to walk to 5 flights or wait for another elevator.. looked at his parents and said he wanted to walk up the steps not the elevator. Then he helped me on the elevator in his spot. I was amazed that all these adults were so selfish yet this kid (who was obviosly tired from the long wait to get on the ship) was the only one who offered to give up his spot to a pregnant woman

Is this your homework? wouldn't it be faster to just do it instead of waiting on yahoo for the answer?
Let me help you...
"A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero"
We consider people that do big things like go to war to be hero's..
"he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around."
You assume here that the boy really likes pie but does not take any so that everybody else will have a piece...he is basically scarifying his piece for others. However, he does it in a mature way...he does not complain about it and does not expect recognition. He does it because he know that someone else will be glad to have that piece of pie.
In ex would be if you go see your grandma every week. I is boring at times but you still do it because you know how happy it makes her!
There, I did your homework in 3 minutes! ( shame on me)

that's a very good statement and a very good philosophy to live by. this statement shows how someone can be so unselfish and take his kindness and share it with his fellow man.
It is true.. you don't have to be in a war to be a hero.... a hero by definition someone who is thoughtful of others. Certainly the most common hero is one who endangers his life to save the life of another. this is certainly true, however if you think of it, the person is being very unselfish to benefit the welfare of another person.
Hero's come in all shapes in sizes. A boy can look at his father or mother as a hero just for being his there and taking care of him. A hero may or may not be "famous".
In my case, my boyhood hero was Mickey Mantle, as with many young boys. I looked up to him for what he did for the sport of baseball. I was far to young to understand about Mickey's failings as a mortal being with his drinking and womanizing. Even knowing that, I am not sure that would have made a difference to me.
In the second part of your statement, I have fallen into this many times. It's not that I don't like pie, but I can do without a piece of pie so that someone else may enjoy it.
Again this is show a courtesy to others and not being selfish and feeling I have to succumb to my own wants.

It's about being a hero in a small way. Maybe, say, you're on the highway and you move over to let someone pass. Or you say you really don't want the shirt so the other person that wants it can have it. Or, working at a fair, you give out winner prizes as consolations because you know that's what the kid wanted. See?

a hero ...... we use the word too loosely now-a-days. my hero is my husband, who, when i was told i had cancer, stayed strong, supporting me in my worst times. my husband, who, when he had a heart attack and stroke, told everyone not to worry about him, but to take care of me and his kids. my husband who, when swinging an axe and i inadvertently got in the way, tore his shoulder muscles and required therapy for over a year, in order to avoid hitting my hand.
doesn't like pie? boy, thats easy, my husband who will go without anything in order to provide for his children. who will give his kids or me the last of whatever it is and go hungry himself. and make it sound as though he doesn't like whatever it is so we should eat it up! even if its his favourite dish.
i'd marry this man all over again in a heartbeat! my hero is my husband.

properly I examine it in yet in any different case then something have so i'm in all probability incorrect however the question is you do no longer would desire to coach something to every person yet contained in the top the guy is the only one to scarfice something of value whilst it relatively is all mentioned and completed. mom;s and the militia try this on a daily bases

There was a kid who was struggling socially in school, and instead of fighting his battles for him (both physical and mental) I merely offered my friendship and tried to get him introduced to my network of friends.
