1.Yes, I think Wesley Austrey is a real hero because he showed unusual courage in times of danger. Few people would jump onto the tracks to save a stranger from a racing train.

No, I don't think Wesley Austrey is a hero. He was behaving irresponsibly. He should have realized that he had two little children to take care of. What would his kids do if he died!

2.I am most impressed by Wesley talking about his own fear and what he said to the stranger. From the report we can tell that Wesley loved his children and that he was fully aware of the danger he was facing. This further shows how caring and how courageous he was.

I am most impressed when Wesley said, "I don't feel like I did something extraordinary; I just saw someone who needed help". This shows that Wesley is a warm-hearted and courageous person. When it is time for him to offer help, he just extends his hand. This is why when a stranger slipped off the platform, Wesley immediately jumped onto the tracks to save him, regardless of the extreme danger involved.

3. I doubt if I would be courageous enough to jump onto the tracks to save the man.

I would probably shout at the man, telling him to stay between the rails, lower his body, and keep his head down. And then I would ask the subway staff for help.
