Wendell Pendleton

by Christopher

     My hero is my dad. His name is Wendell Pendleton. My relationship with him is that he is my dad. My dad is 64 and he was born in Texas. He went to Texas A&M University. His favorite color is red. He likes that color because he saw a lot of red in Texas. He has 4 children, Will, Lindsey, Matt, and

Me. He loves to go to fire calls. When he goes to a fire call, he usually brings my brother and me with him. My dad was in the army for ten years. That is some information about my dad.

     My dad does things that make him a hero. One of those things is that he is a Volunteer fire fighter. He puts out fires to save peoples' lives. He has a lot of honesty because he kept a really big secret that I told him. My dad is brave because he served in the army. My dad's job in the army was a tanker. He blew up other tanks. He is a great father because he helps on our home work and he gives my brother and me 30 minute breaks before doing our homework. That is a work of kindness. He loves to go shooting with me. My dad has a lot of confidence in me to shoot an M-14. The most important thing is that I have confidence in him. Those are some reasons my dad is a hero to me.

     My dad is like and not like the heroes. He is like Theseus because he goes into fires to save peoples' lives and Theseus went into the labyrinth to kill the Minotaur like my dad does to get the survivors. My dad is different because he is a firefighter and Theseus is a Greek hero in mythology. Even if my dad is not as strong as Theseus, he is still my hero.
