Read the following passage from the novel. A sergeant yelled at Johnny as he started to limp past them, but when he explained in a piteous whine that his foot had been squashed by a blow from a soldier's musket and all he wanted was to get home to his mama, an officer said the men were to let "the child" pass.

Decide if this passage describes a heroic action. Then choose the statement that best describes why or why not.

A. Johnny displays heroism when he limps past the soldiers to deliver a message despite being injured.

B. Johnny displays heroism when he acts childish in order to get past British troops to deliver a message.

C. Johnny doesn't display heroism because he is just acting and not really injured.

D. Johnny doesn't display heroism when he simply delivers a message while others are fighting.

I choose B is that right?
