Harriet+Tubman

__Harriet Tubman__ Lizzy Gordon Most people think that there are no similarities between famous people and normal people, but there are. There are even similarities between people from the 1800s and now. Some similarities between Harriet Tubman and I are that we both like to spend time outside and we both care a lot about family. We are also different in many ways, one way that we are different is because I was never tortured the way she was tortured and I was never treated the way that she was treated her whole life. Even though she was from so long ago there are still differences and similarities between us. Both Harriet Tubman and I prefer spending time outside. Harriet liked to work in the fields and doing yard work rather then babysitting or working in the kitchen. I would rather spend time at the beach or playing games outside rather then being at the movies or at the mall. Although her time in the fields and my time spent outside are completely different it is still a similarity. When Harriet was outside she was doing hard labor while when I’m outside I am hanging out with friends or playing games. Another similarity between me and Harriet Tubman is that we both care a lot about our families. Harriet showed her family that she cared by saving them from slavery. The people in her family were he first people that she went back to save. I care about my family a lot; I show this by always trying to help around the house. Another way that we both try to show our family that we care is by always looking out for what is right for the family and doing what is right. Family is extremely important to me and it was also very important to Harriet. While there are similarities there are also differences. One difference between Harriet and I is that I never had to go through the pain and suffering that she had to go through. Harriet grew up in fear; she never knew what would happen next. She also had horrible people all around her; I think that I am surrounded by great people who care about me. I did not grow up in fear; I think this is a big difference between us. She went through so much pain and so much heartache that I hope I never have to go through. There are similarities and differences between every person in one way or another. Famous people are similar to other stars but they are also similar to everyday people. It is amazing that everyone has something in common; some have more in common than others. Some people believe that we are all different and unique; while that is true we also have many similarities. Every person in the world has different qualities but there are always some that are the same as someone else’s.
