Who is another person who changed society? What did they
achieve? Why do you admire them?
Example Martin Luther King Jr. changed society. He fought for the rights
of African Americans because he believed everyone was equal. I
admire him because he was very brave and fought for what he
believed in.
Your Own Charles Dickens wrote many books and stories about
the problems that poor people had in the past. I admire
him because his stories made more people think about
how they could help the poor and give them more rights.
