Who are my heroes?

1. morally, I wonder what Buffy would do.

2. for showing that it's possible to succeed without selling out, Whedon.

3. for challenging me to stick to my beliefs, J.D. Salinger.

4. for a glimpse of honor, compassion, and beauty, Harper Lee.

5. Anne Frank.

One German-born girl, three American writers, and one fictional character. On the surface they don't look like super-heroes, but all have affected the way I think and view the world.

What's sobering is that none of my heroes are on anybody else's list.
