Yep you know me so well. <br />Aragorn has just the right amount of handsomeness, sweat, dirt, strength, confidence, humbleness, fear, and sex appeal to make him the hero I would want to get to know better.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721556815192785649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275093834818398021.post-66713430048031059802011-08-14T20:22:49.658-05:002011-08-14T20:22:49.658-05:00As soon as I saw the LOTR video, I knew Brendan wo...As soon as I saw the LOTR video, I knew Brendan would be all over this! LOL! I think a hero, be it on the screen or in a book, is a person who makes us wish we could know them better. Someone we crave to be near.

That's what a hero does. He's the one who takes the bullet for someone else, no matter who it is. <br /><br />Great post, Casea!

It is programed into us from a very young age. I mean we all read Cinderella and many other fairy tales. Every little girl dreams of her prince charming. I melt when the hero is passionate about his love interest and his goal in the story. A true hero pushes past the worst odds and refuses to give up.
