My hero I am to study is the artist M.I.A. I have found these artifacts to help me understand this hero:
My first artifact I have found is a article on M.I.A. Telling about her background and how it affects her today. According to the article, when she was a child, it wasn’t a piece of cake. Her father was a LTTE activist, and M.I.A. is now too, and many want to capture him, and so he barely was with the rest of the family. Her mother worked multiple low wage jobs to support the family. They were so poor butter was a treat. Moving place to place to avoid the civil war going in they’re home country, Sri Lanka.
Another article and video(scroll down), this one is more about her present. She makes music, and does well because it is in the number one place. She made a song called “boyz” and is about many boys will start wars. it is a has a different beat then most heard.
This is a picture, she is sitting down with some locals.
In this picture M.I.A. is shooting a music video. Is wearing weird clothing then most people would.
This what M.I.A. wrote. It is titled "20$"
qoutes:
"DONT WATCH ME WATCH URSELF"
She wants others to be aware.

Do you know that cost of a.ksUp in africa?
20 dollars aint s**t to you But thats how much they are.
Of couse they gonna use it to kill a little daIs.
girls, diamonds Helpin ya?
Dont you like my bandana. My stains hang low On my shirts like ay yai ay.
Monkey brains and banana. Ill hit you with my antana. I put soap in my eye
Make it red so I look raa. Ra ra So I woke up with my holy quran and found out I like cadillac.
So we shooting till the song is up. Little boys are acting up.
Baby mothers are going crazy And the leaders all round cracking up. We goat rich we fry.
Price of living in a shantytown jus seem to be high.
We still look flyWe still like t.i. Dancing as we shooting up And lootin jus to get by.>
This song is about how you can buy things, like guns, rather than something like a cell phone or food. And its also how that effects people.
This next picture show M.I.A. with school children. This shows she is Involved with the community.
qoutes: "DONT WATCH ME WATCH URSELF"
She wants others to be aware.
"WITH SO MANY ONE SIDED VIEWS IN THIS WORLD IT IS ONLY FAIR WE STAY EDUCATED AND EXPOSE OURSELVES TO ALL OPINIONS"
She is not bais.
She is not bais.
"YOU TO ALL THESE EVIL PEOPLE TWISTING THE TRUTH. YOU DONT SPEAK FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN SPEAK FOR MY SELF."
She will express her own opinions. Also too many people are assuming before they have all the facts.

"EVERYTHING IN ME WAS KILLED BUT MY ART IS NOT DEAD! "
M.I.A. may be down but she will still live on.
boyz
pull up the people
This is a school M.I.A. is currently building. This proves that she cares about the world and wants to help. Especially those who need it most.

Conclusion.
You’d think heroes as strong men in capes or a person ho saves lives. But there are many kinds of heroes, they may not save lives, but they save us in many other ways. M.I.A. shows people to speak up in what you believe in and stay true to yourself. In my findings, she has shown she is not afraid to tell others what she feels, and expresses this in her songs and clothes, She inspirers many to do the same. She talks about true, meaningful stuff, that is close to her heart and what she passions. She helps give the voice to others that can not speak. That is what a true hero does. She has demonstrated helping others in need, like the school she is building. Also, I found that she is not like most singers these days. Most rap artist talk about female body parts and how much money they have. Not M.I.A., as know her lyrics tell about personal struggles and views on world. The lyrics are also well written like poetry. One last thing,
