A Great Leader

In our English class we just finished our reading of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. After reading this novel I had learned a lot about the life during the civil war of both black and white Americans. One element that is a big part in the book is leadership. Leadership is shown throughout the book and specifically in one certain character. While reading the story one would realize that Ned is the character who displays this quality.

One example of Ned showing this is when he is standing up for what he believes in and is giving his sermon at the river about black Americans rights. This shows how Ned is a great leader for inspiring others and starting a new idea even if it could get him killed. This quality that Ned displays has also been seen in real history through another black speaker who stood up for black Americans rights and also was killed for it. And if you haven't guessed who I am talking about yet, it is a man named Martin Luther King Jr. So as you can see these two people are very alike and are both great leaders.
