Leadership

I am a leader. I am a leader because when Mr. Ross told me about how to get to Tennessee, I lead Julilly, Adam and Liza there. I also knew when to stop and when to keep going in the very long and tiring trek in the forest. Being a leader can either be a good or bad thing because, it is good when you get praised and rewarded when you succeeed or do well. But it can be a bad thing, when you don't know what to do or when you don't succeed in what you are trying to do.

Strength

Strength is important to me because when you are a slave you get chained to the back of a wagon, whipped, beat up and you starve. You have no family with you, all you have is the other slaves to be friends and rely on. It is a good thing to be strong because when you are picking cotton in the fields everyday in the hot weather and an empty stomach, you can't stop working or break down or else you will get whipped or beat up more.
