English Assignment

2. Who is the main hero in this story?


Mrs. Brown can be classified as a hero to Christy and many others who read this story. She loves Christy so much and wants him to grow up to be as close to normal as possible. Without her love and care, Christy would not have learned to read and write and would not have succeeded in writing a novel about himself. On top of Christy's condition, Mrs. Brown has 13 other children to care for and look after. Even though the doctors say otherwise, Mrs. Brown is determined to prove that even though Christy's body is crippled, his mind is not. I found that Mrs. Brown is very optimist and prudent about everything and that is why I think she is a hero.
