Both Anne Frank and Vincent van Gogh are considered heroes by many, but they did not
physically save anyone's life. Do you consider them heroes? In the context of the poem,
what is a hero?

I consider them heroes due to what they did for society. Anne showed what life was like during the Holocaust. Vincent showed even with having a mental illness, one can make something beautiful.

I have not seen the poem you’re referring to so I cannot give a quote to answer the question.

I consider them both a hero because they reflected over aspects of history in a way that no one else quite did. A hero isn’t someone who saves lives, it’s someone who strives to make a difference in them and a positive influence. Both Anne Frank and Vincent van Gogh are incredibly historical figures that should be recognized as hero’s for their contribution to modern day culture and more.
