What`s HERO?

What do imagine hero in your mind? I imagine first Superman, but I want to talk about real hero today.

Do you know this picture? This picture is "Vulture and Girl". Photographer is Kevin Carter. This picture appeal Sudan`s hunger.

Vulture take aim crouching girl. The New York Times sold the picture first appeared on March 26, 1993. Hundreds of people contacted the newspaper. They said " Why don`t help girl!?". So the paper reported that it was unknown whether she had managed to reach the feeding center. They jump to a conclusion Kevin Carter is evil. On 27 July 1994 Carter drove to the Braamfontein Spruit river, near the Field and Study Centre, an area where he used to play as a child, and took his own life by taping one end of a hose to his pickup truck’s exhaust pipe and running the other end to the passenger-side window. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning, aged 33. Portions of Carter's suicide note read:

"I am depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners ... I have gone to join Ken [recently deceased colleague Ken Oosterbroek ] if I am that lucky."  from wikipedia

Why Carter was call sb to task? We could notice Sudan`s hunger by his picture. I think him is hero. Certainly we don`t know the girl could back to the camp, but Carter`s friend attest to Carter took the picture after he drive away vulture. So he help girl and reported Sudan. His picture notice what we do.


I think hero is not only someone help, so hero notice important thing to our mind.
