#hero

For my hashtag topic i chose hero. I found many tweets about heroes. Some were seriously using the hashtag while some were just fooling around. A hero is referring to someone who believes in taking action for the greater good of all humanity. The tone of the first example is sarcastic and trying to be funny, which is by “Lo Pip” from Scottsdale, AZ. The tone of the second example is being honest and thankful, which is by Ernest Arguello. The usage of #hero in the first example is not being used correctly because “Lo Pip” is criticizing iPhone chargers and calling himself a hero. In comparison, Ernest Arguello uses #hero correctly by referring to MLK as a hero. MLK is considered to be an important figure who had a positive contribution to society.  Looking at these different usages makes me realize that people don’t always use hashtags correctly.
