Analysis=
**“dead bolt”(11) This is just one example of personification in Hero by Perry Moore, because a bolt obviously cannot be dead.
**“cheerful books”(14)This is anther example of personification in Hero by Perry Moore.
** “swish”(24)This is an example of an onomatopoeia in Hero, this is true because the word “swish” means exactly the noise you make when you say this particular word.

Quote=
“Even if Dad had ever possessed superpowers, invulnerability wouldn’t have protected him from the shame.”(2) This quote is significant not only because it shows the first glimpse at Thom’s dad’s past but also that all “superheroes” have weaknesses. At this point we only know that dad although is not part of the league anymore, his past has not escaped him. This also showed the readers that Thom’s father did not have superpowers unlike the rest of the “league”.

Theme=
The main theme that seems to be emerging is that not everyone, even superheroes, have flaws.
