"What is a hero? Heroes are people who stand up for their beliefs.There are many kinds of heroes. A hero challenges a bully, protects a friend, or helps those who are are hurt by war, famine, or disease."pg4
I found this book really interesting because of all the amazing people. I found that Craig Keilburgers chapter was interesting because I got to see his life story in a different point of view. This is because I am reading a biography of his right now.

I agree with Adeline that this book was really interesting because of all the amazing people. Also I liked how this author wrote about Canadian heroes because I don't think a lot of people write many books about Canadian heroes. I liked reading about Craig Keilburger because I thought it was inspiring.

I thought the book Courage and Compassion was a very interesting book because of all the amazing people in it who tried to make a difference. I liked some stories better than others, but they were all pretty good.

I though the book Courage and Compassion is very good book because it talks about many famous Canadian that had made a difference in Canadian history. My favourite story was Hannah’s Ladybug because she was such a young when she made a difference. That young girl saw how that man had to live on the street and did not have any food. So she decided to start a programme to help these homeless people. Deciding to start a program for homeless was a very big idea and cannot be solved like this. She had lots of support from her mother and her symbol was ladybugs because she believed that the ladybugs are the sign of good luck. So she started this program at such a young age.

wow! just finished this book and my head is still buzzing!!! so much infomation but a good read. This is a good book for a project or for a person with a bigger brain than mine :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved to read about all the different canadian heros and how their life started pretty much the same as mine (with some exeptions), which shows me any one can make change.
izy:-)
I think that this book was so intresting because of all the famous heroes that are in this book. I learned alot about people that I already new about or about people who I have never heard of before. The chapter about Elijah Hhenson was great bacause it's the first time I have ever heard of Elijah Henson and I learned alot about him. This book reminds me of a book that the Be the change committee has book club disscussion on, it is called Free the Children by Craig Keilberger. This was an amazing book and I think it will inspire anyone who reads it.

Courage and Compation is a very informative book. It teaches you about alot of different people from all over the world who made a change. Such as the younge girl Hannah who wanted to make a change scince she was about 5 years old. She dicided to make a shelter for homeless people. There are alot more people in the book who I edmire such as Creg K. who went to all different schools all over the U.S.A. to talk about the stuff that was happening around the world. Then he went to Africa to help with the abuse of children and women.Then he kept on growing with more interest in these isues.
ReplyDeleteThey named alot more people who made a change and it taught me alot. If I think something is wrong I should say what I think is right and it might make a change to the world.
