What is something that people should have? Its pride all three of the people i'm about to talk about is how Claude Mckay,Miep Gies, and Harriet Tubman all have pride and are brave people cause of what they did. Tubman freed many slaves, gies helped a jewish family and mckay stood up fighting all in which are people who did something different from other people. Although Claude Mckay,Miep Gies, and Harriet Tubman had many different experiences, when the time came, they all acted very heroically but there was a few things different about them
To start things off, Claude Mckay acted heroically in America during the early 20th
Century. The reason he McKay died was that he dedicated his life to fighting for the rights
Of oppressed people. But he also died with pride. “If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hu hunted and penned in an inglorious” (McKay, 1919)this shows how he wants to fight back with pride, and letting people know he was not scared.

And this was not the kind of life I was looking for at all.”(by Teri Schultz, National Public Radio 2010) this shows how she really had second thoughts on saving a family. “Miep Gies said she did not like being called a hero. Yet, she risked her life many times over to help the Frank family during the two years they hid from the Nazis in a secret annex built into the Trading Company office in Amsterdam where she’d worked for Otto Frank almost a decade.”(by Teri Schultz, National …show more content…
