I summation, Homer showed himself to be heroic in many ways. He was determined, courageous, and smart. Homer was what an American hero should be. Shouldn't everyone learn from his example and aspire to be a "rocket hero".]]> 2016-10-26 13:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mary_maddox1/n29il2t6x2dp/wish/133321306
