Accidental Heroes: An Action-Packed Emotional Drama From The Billion Copy Bestseller

Product Information

Here are some clever scenes and lines. In his hotel room, the new hero has all sorts of gifts from prominent people. He opens the card on a large fruit basket that reads, "To John Bubber from Barbra Streisand." A good pun of the celebrity industry showing its support for the hero - otherwise to get in the act. Reading a Danielle Steel after a long time, many years in fact, and it was like coming home. I chose this book as I wanted to feel the air rushing through me as the flight and its passengers faced a life and death situation. Upon learning of the anonymous hero who selflessly risked his life to save others, the media leaps on the story and issues an appeal for the hero — complete with reward. Upon learning of the reward, Bernie decides to come forward, only to face several problems; he's in jail, absolutely no one believes he's capable of being a hero, and the 'hero' has already come forward — John Bubber (Garcia), a homeless veteran who not only appears to be the perfect hero, but has the only proof of who was there in the form of Bernie's discarded shoe...

Secret of Mana: The Boy just wanted to cut some tall grass...though you do find out later that he comes from a heroic lineage. We tend to think of accidental heroism as classically “heroic.” Accidental heroism occurs when a major or tragic event has taken place, and a person does something amazing. A person who runs into a burning building to save a child is an “accidental hero”. As Ben scans the passenger manifests, his focus turns to the A321, with Helen Smith as its senior pilot. Helen’s military service and her tenure with the airline have been exemplary. But her husband’s savage death in Iraq was more than anyone should bear, leaving her widowed with three children. A major film star is on board. So is an off-duty pilot who has just lost his forty-year career. So is a distraught father, traveling with the baby son he has abducted from his estranged wife. Sifting through data and relying on instinct, Ben becomes convinced that someone on Helen’s plane is planning something terrible. And he’s right. Passengers, crew, and experts on the ground become heroes out of necessity to try to avert tragedy at the eleventh hour. It’s only when they feel they have no other choice that they come through wind, chill, rain, storm, and flood and you can feel their approach, “like a fire in (your) blood”—much like the proverbial dragon. If there's ever an event where the Boss does something good for the city, it's usually by accident. Usually. The Boss still saves millions of people from a nuke and is pretty damn insistent on finding humanity a new home in Saints Row IV.In Mugen Souls, Altis is a former demon who is so incompetent at being evil that she accidentally turned into an angel. She legitimately wants to be evil, but all her attempts to do something evil make good things happen instead. In " Brother's Little Helper", Bart's prank of flooding the Springfield Elementary School gymnasium accidentally saved Flanders' life by dousing the flames when Flanders set himself on fire. Of course, by flooding the gym, he prevented the firefighters from putting out the fire sooner. Real heroes are all around us. It’s just that deliberate heroes spend most of their lives “up where the mountains meet the heavens above. Out where the lightning splits the sea.”

Knight in Sour Armor: Bernie. Nobody except his son and Gail in the climax believes that Bernie could really be the hero and risk his life to save others. The Avengers: In Avengers: The Initiative, Hardball was recruited into the Initiative when he used his powers to save a little girl from being hit by an armored car — at least, that's what it looked like to witnesses. In reality, Hardball was trying to rob the armored car. The rescue was a coincidence. This is one of the first hints that Hardball is a bit too amoral for a superhero-in-training. Irresponsible Captain Tylor: While he does not really become celebrated (although he gets quite the reputation amongst the enemy), Justi Ueki Tylor does seem to hit both flavors often. In an episode of Frasier, Bulldog is lauded as a hero for throwing himself in front of Roz when a gunman tries to rob the coffee shop. In fact, he was mistaken about where the gunman was, and was actually trying to throw himself behind Roz, using her as a human shield. Bulldog laps up the praise, though, and refuses to admit that people have it wrong. Cassandra Did It: Inverted. Bernie really saved all the passengers. However nobody believes that he did it.Except for the one time that he mans up, in Sourcery. But it's okay! The statue, as a reward, gets downgraded to a plaque, gets downgraded to a certificate, gets downgraded to a fine. In the Angel episode " Harm's Way", negotiations with some demons go sour and they demand a blood sacrifice or else they will declare war. Harmony, who had no idea what was going on and was in the middle of a fight with a rival vampire, appears and then stakes the vampire. The demons consider that satisfactory and continue the negotiations.

One of the early episodes of Arthur has a Cat Up a Tree leap into Buster's arms to eat his ice cream, due to it having fish, thus becoming a hero. He lets the hero stuff go to his head and Arthur and friends decide recreate the scenario via robotic cat to prove he is no hero. It succeeds, much to the disappointment of Buster, but then he (intentionally) saves Arthur and Francine from a runaway piano. Here We Go Again!.In Dudley Dursley Saves the World, Dudley's saving of the world is this. It comes about when he's trying to escape Privet Drive and falls on Voldemort, crushing him. In either flavor, public acclaim that just won't go away is the main complication. The subsequent plot is a good showcase for examining the fiber of the accidental hero's character and to spin a little yarn about how people ''need'' heroes. Many times he becomes a true hero by the end of the story.
