Hunt For the Wilder People

Ricky and Hec stumble upon an old cabin and three hunters find them and they

have a standoff. Here are a few things you should know.First off in Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Ricky keeps running away from foster homes so when they find a home that will take him in

they let him go.Bella and Hec are the foster parents who live in the middle of nowhere They end

up finding themselves in the New Zealand bush. Ricky Baker is a hero in Hunt for The

Wilderpeople because, hes loyal,brave,and outgoing.

Ricky Baker is an loyal person. To begin, when Hec sprains his ankle Ricky stayed even

when Hec said go without me.This shows supports that he his loyal to Hec because, when

someone is loyal they support the other one.Ricky is being loyal by supporting Hec and helping

him walk and did some hunting while Hec wasnt able too.Another one is, when Zag got hurt by

the Bour and Hec had to shoot him and Ricky was there to support and comfort him. This also

supports him being loyal because, Zag was Hecs best friend Zag would hunt with him and play

with him.Zag was all Hec had left after Bella died he was his only family left.Here is another

reason why Ricky Baker is a hero.

Ricky Baker is a brave person and here is why.For example,he is brave for saving Hec

from 3 hunters after he lied.This is one of the things that happened when they ran into the bush.

Also,here is another thing that he did aswell.He shot a Boar which also saved Hec. He is brave

for doing both of these things because,not everybody would be able to do that he could've gotten

hurt when he shot the Bour because, the Boar could of came after him next. Also,when he saved

Hec from the 3 hunters he couldve gotten hurt that way because,they couldve shot him after

Ricky shot up into the roof. This is a heroic trait because, to be a hero you can be anyone and to
be a hero is someone who shows or does something out of courage, outstanding achievements, or

noble qualities.One last reason Ricky Baker is a hero.

Ricky Baker is outgoing for these actions.One action is, running into the bush to find

someone who could call for help to help the park ranger.This is an outgoing action

because,Ricky couldve gotten hurt aswell as of getting killed by the three men which he saved

Hec from.Another act is,running from child services.The reason this is an outgoing act is

because, they could send him back to America and or send him to another foster home and he

grew so close to Hec already. Also,this is outgoing because, they couldve put him in juvenile

detention which is basically a jail for minors.

Ricky saves Hec 3 different times all 3 times it was for a different reason. This is why

Ricky Baker should be considered a hero.When considering Ricky a hero keep in mind that he is

also loyal,brave,and outgoing. Because,Ricky Baker is a chubby 12 year old who wasnt really

use to running but,he didnt want to leave his uncle Hec behind.Anybody can be hero as long as

they dont give up in what they believe in.
