i think we are suppose to write about Cesar Chavez. Chavez was a very determined man. He kept marching all the way to Sacramento even though he had hurt himself. He fasted in order to promote non violence. Doctors thought that he could die if he didn't eat, but Chavez stuck with it and people eventually listened to him. Cesar was also a very cooperative man. He worked well with the people on strike and the others that were supporting them. He didn't lash out at the growers, he only took non violent steps toward getting the proper wages and working conditions. Chavez is also a man with great intelligence. Even though he never had proper schooling, he understood human nature. Cesar Chavez was also great with words. He inspired workers to fight for what they wanted and needed. He also spoke his message in court and in Sacramento. With all of these characteristics, the one that showed the most was his strong will. He never gave up. Even though he didn't have a lawyer or anyone to defend him, he still stood up against the grape growers. Cesar Chavez was a very prestige man. He had the courage of 50 men. He did everything he had to in order to get his message across and to have his conditions met. I think that Chavez showed the courage that everyone wish they could have.
