I am Rye

I am fearless and cunning
I wonder what lies beyond the walls
I hear the skimmers wings outside
I see my family's despair
I want to end the madness
I am not afraid

I pretend i am not scared
I feel the goosebumps coming
I touch the golden door
I worry that i might fail
I cry thinking about my family
I am not afraid

I understand what i must do
I say i'm not afraid
I dream of death
I try not to worry
I hope i will not fail
I am not afraid

I chose this book because it pertained to my topic of free will this story is about a boy who has lived inside a safe wall his whole life and these creatures called skimmers is killing everyone and he must embark on a quest to save his people.

The Hero

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles" - Christopher Reeve

The quote is basically saying that any everyday man could be a hero in the eyes of a person that looks up to them. Such as a persons father could be a hero it doesnt have to be a policeman or firefighter or astronaut anyone can be a hero.
