In the book The Rescue, Denise Holton is a single mother living with her son Kyle Holton. Kyle is four years old and is not able to talk well. His brain doesn't recognize words. He talks like he is a two year old or even younger. Denise has a part time job as a waitress at night. For the rest of the day her time is dedicated to her son. Denise has gave up on doctor's inputs on diagnoses and teachers trying to help Kyle. Nothing worked for Kyle so Denise took up helping her son on her own. Denise had Kyle at an early age, and Denise's parents are both dead. Denise doesn't have any family around. Her life is dedicated to her son. No matter what she loves him, and will do anything for him. Sometimes she does get angry and think why did this have to happen to my boy? But, nothing stops her. Other characters in the book describe her as a great mother and truly she is. I think she'd be a hero for other Mother's who have to deal with their children having disablities, diseases etc. It's not easy for Denise but no matter what she doesn't give up and I don't think she ever will. Heroic traits of Denise could be self-sacrfice, she learns about her son and makes them both grow, a loner, innocent, brave and she has the strong mind of a warrior.
Taylor Mcaden is a volunteer fire fighter. In a part that I just read, Taylor rescused a man from his car that was hanging off a bridge. The back of the car was on fire, and crushed by a tanker. Quickly Taylor had to act fast and get the man out of his tipping car. The ladder would only hold one of them; Taylor let the victim of the car crash go. Taylor jumped off the bridge.
Taylor found Denise Holton in her totaled car though he also found Kyle Holton on that stormy night miles away from the accident. Taylor constatnly sees Denise around town. He has a thing for her but not only for Denise but for Kyle. Taylor can communicate and has made an impact on Kyle that Denise has never seen before. Kyle is beginning to communicate things on his own with Taylor. To Kyle and Denise, Taylor is a hero. Heroic traits that Taylor has are self-sacrifice, courage, a fool, bravery, willing, adventurous and makes sacrifice to achieve his goal.
