Life Changing Country Analysis

Life changing experiences can not only change people 's lives but also change a whole country. Some people who have had a life-changing experiences are Melba Patillo Beals from Warriors Don 't Cry by Melba Patillo Beals, Jackie Robinson from I Never Had it Made by Jackie Robinson, and Feng Ru in The Father of Chinese Aviation by Rebecca Maksel. Those are all people who have had life changing experiences and have not only affected their lives but also their country

Feng Ru was the first ever Chinese man to create a successful plane factory. Feng Ru knew that his goal of creating the factory would be very challenging. He had many obstacles that stood in his way. Including racism, moving because of workshops getting destroyed, and being self

Like Feng, Jackie Robinson had also changed his entire country by being the first black man to play in major league baseball. Jackie also had to face many challenges too, like his teammates not accepting him because he was black and people not liking him and they tried to physically harm him. “It hadn’t been easy.
