====Through chapter 11 of 'To Kill a Mockingbird', we can see how courageous Mrs. Dubose is. In my life, I think Spider man is a courageous hero for me. He will do his best to save the needy and the innocent. He is **analogous** to Mrs. Dubose because they will not give up easily. However, they are different types of heroes.====

====In my opinion, not everyone think Mrs. Dubose is a courageous hero. Mrs. Dubose is a morphine addict who is diagnosed to be dead in a few months.She does something bad to hurt the kids by mocking Atticus as a nigger-lover, but her death shows Jem and Scout the importance of tolerance. “Something had happened to her. She lay on her back with the quilts up to her chin. Only her head and shoulder were visible. Her head moved slowly from side to side. From time to time she would open her mouth wide, and I could see her tongue undulate faintly. Cords of saliva would collect on her lips; she would draw them in, then open her mouth again. Her mouth seemed to have a private existence of its own. It worked separate and apart from the rest of her, out and in, like a clam hole at low tide.” (Lee, 142) We can see how bad her suffering is. She needs to face the pain that we can hardly imagine. Even though she knows the kids do think she is weird, she **conceals** the truth. She just uses her **privilege** to ask Jem to read for her in order to distract her from the pain. For Spider man, he is recognized as a hero who does not **oblige**. No matter how hard a situation is, he will stay calm and determine **promptly** the solution. **Simultaneously**, he will accept everything that may come up.====

====To conclude, life is so challenging that it is difficult to be brave all the time. There must be times that we want to be a coward, but if we believe in what we do does not bring troubles to others, then you are the most courageous hero that no one can be defeated.====
