Is Jason a hero or Not

       Jason Taylor is a hero because he is caring, heroic and courageous person.He stands up for what is right and just, and is willing to give his life to save another.  In the novel, Jason stands up to Neal and shows that he is a courageous person.  Through his action he is able to  show uncool kids that bullying is wrong, that they should also try to stand up against to Neal and other bullies.One of the reasons I think he is a hero is because he stood up to bullies that nobody would dare to even speak bad about them for fear of being hurt. This shows that he is brave and was willing to risk personal injury. Another example is when he broke Neal Brose's calculator to show him he wasn't scared of him. He demonstrates that he is a hero when he came  back to help Dean Moran after he made it to spooks . This shows he would risk his happiness to help others that need it. Some will argue that he is not really a hero, but if they see the impact his actions have on other characters, they will agree he is a hero. Jason Taylor is a hero because he is caring, heroic and courageous person.He stands up for what is right, and is willing to risk his life by standing up to Neal to show that bullying is wrong and to show uncool kids to stand up against Neal and other bullies.

He gets called a maggot when his peers attached some stick notes on calling him maggot, which caused an uproar of laughter from everyone else. He used the word maggot because it describes how low he thought of Jason.the theme of bullying fits in very well because throughout the chapter Jason is constantly ostracized by his peers. However, the Jason's stammer was eventually accepted by everyone and fit in.

Black Swan Green Souvenirs

      Jason's time with his parents were very different experiences. With his Mother he seemed to have a good time, as they bonded when they flew a kite together. However, he did feel embarrassed when his peers saw him out with his mom waiting in line at a store. When he spent time with his father it was a different experience because it negatively affected him, when his father tried to assert his dominance. Jason felt this way because his dad spent most of his time bossing Jason around.
