Decent Essays

There are many heroes in the novel Fearless, which is a book based off the life of Adam Brown, a Navy SEAL. Making it obvious to tell that he is a hero, due to him giving his life for his country and how he treated people he had never met. However, he is not the only hero in the novel. The other hero in this story is Kelly, Adams wife. She is a hero for Adam, as she helped him through his drug addiction, always supported him, and most of all, she trusted in him. First, the quality that made Adam a hero in everyone's eyes. This quality is that he gave his life for his country. He did so, on a mission in Afghanistan. The mission was called Objective Lake James, as stated in the chapter 17 title. This was a very risky mission, as a matter of fact, they said it was so risky they sent Adam’s team because, they knew that his team was the only one crazy enough to go on this mission. Along with that, a member of the Army, near the location of the attack, compared the valley to a hornets nest; this can be found on page 272. To add to the pressure of this mission, they had to do it at night. However, they had night vision goggles but, they didn’t know if the enemy also had the ability to see at night. Another good example of how Adam was a hero for giving his life for his country, is how ready he was to give his life. You can tell this by what the members of his platoon said Adam told them while he was bleeding out. These words were “I’m okay.”,which can be found on page 283.
