What is honor?
I believe honor is a respect someone receives for being brave, or valiant. A person can also recieve respect and honor when they win something fairly, or do something that makes their school, work-place, or country a better place.
Honor is given to those respect and admire. If your best friend wins the spelling bee at your school, they recieve a great honor for studying hard, knowing how to spell a lot of tough words, and, of course, winning the spelling bee! If that happened, your teachers and principal would probably honor this person because of the great job they did.
An honor can also be a reward, such as the Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is our nation’s highest award for bravery. It is given to a brave man or woman from the Army, Navy, or Air Force. You don’t have to be given the Medal of Honor to recieve an honorable reward. Just about any reward is honorable.
Honor is an important part of life. It is an emotional need. People want to be recogized and honored for what they have done or accomplished. It gives them a higher esteem.
No, honor can’t be touched or seen physically, but it is still there, in our hearts and minds.

I like your article. And I agree with you…in some ways.
What I want to say is that, of course, honor is a wonderful feeling espesially when it belongs to you. But, quite frankly, there are a lot of people who are ambitious to be honored and respected, like the man in Vietnam who got Purple Heart. Unfortunately, this fact distinguish honor nowadays from that noble feeling as it was before.
But of course, your article is great. Thanks for sharing it.

thats very good. you hit the target on honor. i like how you gave examples and showed what honor can mean in different circumstances. two things though, im guessing in here: “Honor is given to those respect and admire” you meant to say something like honeor is goven to those you respect and admire? maybe? i just didn’t exactly understand. and where you said: “Army didn’t get htem” you meant them? i dont want to sound like a jerk or nag, but maybe read your work before you press submit? that may prevent some of these small mistakes. sorry if i sound mean or anything. but anyway, nice job. i liked it
I can see this turning into a good piece, but right now…eh.
Expansion, but obviously you know that.
Expansion on each point would be great.
An exploration concerning the lack of honor in some activities (the guy with the purple heart) could be good, so long as you don’t get too cynical.
Also, maybe a point on how honor can have different levels; I could argue that a student’s victorious spelling bee isn’t quite as great as man saving another’s life.
While you begin your piece with the concept of honor as an externally recognized and rewarded idea:
“I believe honor is a respect someone receives for being brave, or valiant.”
You change up and give the faintest suggestion that honor is also an internal condition:
“he didn’t think he deserved a Purple Heart”
Then, you end with the realiztion that honor is a little bit of both:
“No, honor can’t be touched or seen physically, but it is still there, in our hearts and minds.”
Considering your youth, I give you a great deal of credit for seeing the duality of honor in this way.
Good job, although this topic could be explored in much greater detail, with examples.
Some interesting ideas here. It reads a little like a list, but I’m sure you can organize it differently when it’s finished. Some suggestions for now: Here, ”...do something that makes their school, work-place, or country a better place.” it sounds a little awkward and redundant, try something like “do something to improve their school, work-place, etc.” And here “Honor is given to those respect and admire.” I think something’s missing there. I like the part about the man in vietnam, perhaps you could site where you got that info. from? All in all this is a good start.
it’s well written.I think you could expand on why honor is such an important part of life to make this a better peice
