Robin Hood is a man whose only goal was to help out the needy. He stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He helped out those who were in trouble by taxes and by debt. He protected them from getting beaten, thrown in prison, or even executed because of their financial problems. Robin Hood was definitely no villain, but a hero to the poor and those that he had helped out in some of their most urgent and crucial times of need.

Robin Hood was a very well known man. People all over the country knew of him and his deeds. He was appreciated and adored by many of them, but also hated and despised by some others. To the prince and his followers inside the kingdom he was hated and sought out as a criminal. There were wanted posters of him everywhere and they wanted to make sure that he would be caught and not to be able to continue his "nonsense" and "foolery" by robbing from the rich and giving to the peasants of the country.

Robin Hood lived for a very long time and had helped out countless numbers of people. He saved them from many troubles that would have happened to them if he had not shown up and rescued them. But sadly, no one can live forever. Robin Hood was recorded dead on November 18, 1247 at the age of 87. Even though he was dead people still remember who he was and what he stood for. And after his death he was given the title of Earl of Huntington which is well respected.

Robin Hood is my hero because he knew what was right from wrong. He was willing to risk his life to help out those who were truly in need and those who were going to be severely punished. Also that he was able to think of such plans to help others and to be able to never have been stopped. I admire Robin Hood's deeds and do think that he was a great man. He is definitely a person who should be respected for helping out others so graciously and never keeping any for himself. To me he was a honorable and a very respectable person. Robin Hood is my hero because he was very selfless and always thought of others before thinking of himself.
