so i have to write an classification essay in english about different types of heros i no stupid topic but i just wanted to no how my intro sounds? be honest please! and is that semi collon in the right place?

its:

What type of person is able to give inspiration and aid? What type of person, a hero. There are many types of heros in which we can all relate to. Though everyone has the ability to be a hero, few are able to make a difference wheather it’s saving someones life, helping you out, or just being there for you; we call them personal heros

  1. In general, you have most of an introduction here. Drop the "What type of person, a hero," it is a sentence fragment because it lacks a verb. It will get you dinged on your grade. I'm guessing that you are going to write the next three or four paragraphs explaining how few people measure up to the standard of being a personal hero. That could work.

    The topic really isn't all that stupid. You might want to spend some time in your essay reflecting on your relationships with others and whether or not you measured up to your standard of being someone else's personal hero.

    The semicolon is just fine, and it's colon not collon.

    The plural of hero is heroes not heros, and it's whether not wheather.

    I know it's tempting to use text messaging spelling and grammar, but spruce it up to standard English for your grade.

    You've got a good start. Good luck.


  2. Needs some editing. I'd suggest:

    What type of person is able to give inspiration and aid? A hero. There are many types of heros to whom we can relate. Everyone has the ability to be a hero. However, few are able to make a difference, whether it’s saving your life, helping you out, or just being there for you. We call these people personal heros.

    Not quite sure where you're going with this...but okay.

    Also, I changed the end where you say "someones life" and then "you out"--because you shouldn't switch between somebody and then you...be consistent.

  3. We need lots of work here.  First of all, don't ask questions.  Use declarative sentences.  A hero is a person who gives inspiration (inspires) and aid to others.  

       In your second sentence, the phrase "in which we can all relate to" is grammatically incorrect because you begin and end with a preposition.  Just say that there is a hero for everyone.  

    The next sentence is too long and you've misspelled whether. In addition, it's bad form to use "you."  In formal essays avoid using "you."  For example, instead of saying, "You should never cross the street in the middle of the block," say, "Crossing the street in the middle of the block is dangerous."

    Let's try:

         Though everyone has the ability to be a hero, few are willing to make a difference by either saving someone's life, helping someone in need, or just being supportive when a friend is down.  Those who are willing are personal heroes.

    I hope this helps.  It could still be better, though.  I think the next-to-last sentence could have better examples of what heros do.
