Hey!

Today, you started a new chapter. First, you identified the different people on the pictures and said what they had in common. Then, you focused on the last man and tried to understand why he can be considered as a fallen hero.

To finish, you checked your assumptions with the beginning of the article:

Here is what you said:

Bill Clinton was unfaithful /cheated on his wife with Monica Lewinsky when he was the president of the U.S.
Colonel Russell Williams was a high-ranking/well-promoted pilot. He is accused of murdering two young women.
Lance Armstrong used to be a cyclist. He took drugs / steroids so as to improve / enhance his performances.
Oscar Pistorius used to run in the Paralympics because he's disabled. He killed his girlfriend.
All people/ All of them were models who were involved in scandals so they became fallen heroes.
First, they all denied but in the end Bill Clinton and Lance Armstrong confessed.

Russel Williams used to be a Canadian air force commander. He quickly became a colonel because he was talented / skilled.
