The hero in my book at the moment, is Gerald. From the moment the kids crash landed on the island, Gerald asserted himself as a leader. He is smart which is a good quality for a hero to have even if it might sometimes upset the other characters. he is also in love with one of the girls which isn't so much a trait but most stories seem to have heroes that are in love. He is also willing and adventurous and volunteers to be the one that goes exploring.
"'Today,' Gerald said to himself, 'I keep on top from the start. That's the least my family will expect from me. Someone must be top man and everyone needs to know who he is.'" (Ivan Southall, A City Out Of Sight Pg. 42)
This picture shows how a leader has to make decisions based on what would will help the group instead of what will help themselves.
