Gr 8 Up-Consideration of the hero, antihero, and associated deeds, past and present, coming from the writings of a diverse group of award-winning essayists. Readers gain insight into the aura that surrounded such figures as John Wayne, Marlene Dietrich, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, as well as views into Russian and Bedouin culture, a photo essay on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and three fictional explorations into examples of individual heroics. Author minibiographies precede each selection, and there is a scattering of black-and-white photographs throughout. An excellent choice for sparking discussion.-Celia A.

On Heroes and the Heroic: In Search of Good Deeds
Seriously!?! There are people out there that liked this book. I just wanted to scream at these women to get over themselves and do something about their lives. If you are that unhappy, do something about it!!! I couldn't relate at all. Sure maybe when I was 19 and stupid I experienced some of the bad boyfriend situations or felt lost, but I got over that.
Unless you want to be force-fed a bunch of poorly written stories about self-deprecating women, go ahead and read this. I'll go kiss my husband and remind myself that yes life could be bad, I could be one of them.
