Introduction Famous Quotation: It is only after one is in trouble that one realizes how little sympathy and kindness there are in the world. Best known for: Showing people (especially men) that women could do the same jobs and hard things that men could do. 3 Key Qualities: 1. impact 2. compassion and empathy 3. Communication and sharing
What I find interesting: That she didn't just want to be known for one thing but a bunch!!!!
I chose this person because... She made the world a better place for women all around the world.
Overcame a Hardship/Challenge When she was six, her father died. She must have been very sad but she still kept on going like she forgot her dad died!
Showed Compassion and Empathy Nellie wrote from the point of view of the strikers. How could she write so nicely for such violent people! (Because at that time there were people called strikers who were being violent).
Took Action A man called her pink and so she asked him not to and he still called her pink!
Call her Miss Bly!!!!! I would not be able to say stop to such a powerful man. The same man said she would never make it.
Persevered She traveled around the world in 72 days on a ship with only one small purse. And while she was traveling she wrote about what she saw and what she did. She traveled because she wanted to show men that women could be as good as them. She kept on going and going even though a bunch of men were saying she couldn't do it!
Impact: How Things are Different Today Nellie Bly made an impact by traveling around the world. By doing these things she showed people (especially men) that women could do the same things that men could do.
Demonstrated Bravery People were telling her that she'll start her journey around the world the next day she said "I am ready." How can she just "be ready" without being worried!
Communicated and Shared She wrote about cool stuff she did (like going to Mexico for a year) and amazing stuff she did. Wow! She sure does have to be a hard worker to write about so many things she did! (When she went to Mexico she wrote about the clothes people wore, the food she ate and the things people did and she wrote all this in a fun way!!)
Author Talk I’m similar to my Change Maker because I love communicating exactly like her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Change Maker is connected to Thomas Stephans because they both traveled around the world in a short amount of time.
I’m a Change Maker when I give bags with clothes and food in them to the homeless.
