LIFESAVER HERO:

PAUL DAVID HEWSON (AKA BONO)

by Alex from Thornhill

My hero is Bono! He is a fantastic person and is very famous. He has helped many people, and a lot of needful people in Africa. He is one of the founding members of U2. I will speak about Bono. In my eyes, he is a perfect hero. Bono has a lot of money, but he still helps out others and cares about the world. Bono has had more nicknames before he chose the name Bono. Also, I’ll talk about his albums with the group U2. Bono is also a controversial person because some like U2, but others hate it. I will speak on this subject also, and you will find out more information about Bono!

Bono's name is Paul David Hewson. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, on May 10, 1960. He is 47 years old and he has a brother, Norman. He is the lead singer and writer of the group U2. Right now, Bono has over 22 albums with U2. Bono has helped many people and he gave money to good causes. When he was at school, Bono and his friends started a band in a garage. The name is U2 because the members of the group disagreed with it the least. As a child, Bono was curious and argumentative. Also, he isn’t very sporty, but he’s a hard worker. He has had a lot of nicknames, such as the Antichrist, the sonic leprechaun, and the mother Teresa of abandoned songs! Bono is married to Alison Stewart (August, 1982, date of marriage)) and has four children, Jordan, Memphis Eve, Elijah Bob Patricus Guggi Q, and John Abraham. In the 80s, U2 was very popular. But in 90s, U2 had problems. U2 went out of the music scene for some time. They returned a different band. Bono and his family continue to live in Dublin.

Bono is a hero! He helped others in the world and in Africa. Also, he’s in the widely known group U2, and their music is very good. In my opinion, Bono is a fantastic hero! He’s is in the group of heroes that are very famous and accomplished! He’s also a perfect example of a gentle soul and a good example for everybody. He saved a lot of people. Many others have helped the world, but Bono is the best peacekeeper and activist. Bono also has more money than many people.

Bono has given millions of dollars for good causes. Millions of people have died in Africa, but the world does not help. Bono has helped to stop the deaths. Also, he makes good music. Bono is the best peacemaker. Also, he is the best famous person who donates money and makes music. The band U2 has a large amount of albums, and a unique sound.

Bono is very persevering, and represents this character trait as well. He helped the people of Africa, even if the rest of the world did not. Also, others are not giving money. Bono has been making music with the band U2 for a long time, and throughout the hard times for the music industry. A person who perseveres is one that is a hard worker and does not give up.

Bono is a hero! He aids and amuses/entertains everyone! He is nice and persevering. He helped Africa and donated money. He’s a humanitarian who is a peace keeper. He made an impact on the whole world. Bono is a better person than a lot of people. He’s hard working and nice. In my opinion, Bono is an amazing super-hero!

Mon hèro est Bono! Il est un person fantastique et fameux. Il aidé les autres. Il l’aidé l’afrique. Il a commence la groupe U2. Je parlerai a Bono. Dans mes yeux, il est un hèro parfait. Il aura plus des argent, mais il aidé tout le monde. Bono a eu plus des surnoms avant qu’il choisi le nom Bono. Aussi, je la parlerai a l’albums qui Bono a avec la groupe U2. Bono est aussi un person controvere, parce que je l’aime, mais l’autres le déteste, et je parlerai au ce sujet aussi, et vous découvrerai plus d’information en Bono!
