I think Harriet Tubman is still an inspirational hero to all people from all walks of like, not just African Americans because she had the bravery and the daring that we all need to make life exciting and make yourself less vulnerable. Also, Harriet had the beliefs of God. Even if you were an Athiest or Thiest, you would still have hope and faith just like Harriet, who was faithful. She went through lots of hardship and understood life, just like we should. I was inspired by Harriet Tubman because she knew what was right and wrong, a white person or not. This is why Harriet Tubman is an inspirational hero for others, including me.

She is an inspirational hero because you can learn to trust god. You could learn to believe in your self. It also teaches if you want something go on and try to be the best

Prithila and Kazi, try to even use writing prompts when you respond on the blog to elaborate on your thoughts even more.

Without harriet a lot of blacks would have had less hope. Tere might even have slaves without her! If she was not here everyting would be different even if slaves did escape and there were no slavery. Maybe obama was inspired to be president thanks to harriet. Harriet helped brighten our world with hope.

Harriet never gave up hope of FREEDOM.Also she was a role model to blacks

I concur with you Shaqib because maybe Harriet Tubman was hope and an inspiration to Barack Obama. Also, Mr. Alper, there are more than one video of Reconsider Columbus Day. Which one do we go to?

I think that Harriet Tubman is inspirational to the black people and also to other people she led other people to believe that God is always there for you and you should trust him while at the same time have faith in yourself. You should have faith in yourself because trusting yourself in not what any can judge besides yourself. Leading to courageous and determine could also be what she is famous for because giving up is NOT a way to solve your problem. This may lead people in the world to believe that you should trust yourself because everyone has a different point of view and no one could ever have the same thoughts as you to prove. If it weren't for Harriet Tubman, there would still be slaves in this world and no one would ever believe the rights that they had. ~ L.R

Harriet Tubman is an inspirational hero to all the black people, because she is the one who had shown proof that if you believe in God, you can do almost anything you want, especially if you want to escape the slave world.

I think that Harriet tubman was inspiratonal to everone and not only african americans because she had a lot of courage at the time african americans did not.She held gods hand all the way.She's even more inspirational because at that time men had lots of power.Woman didn't nor slaves and for her to be a woman that was a slave and free over 300 slaves from this cruel system is even more inspirational.

Alvy6132 said...

Harriet Tubman's bravery freed slaves. Without her bravery,slavery might probably still be going on. She freed slaves and gave them hope. So without her we might have been slaves and she is a hero to everyone so we should all be like Harriet because we might be a hero like her to. Alvy.

Tazrean and anyone else, They are all pretty much the same. It's about a 1:04 in total time. So anyone is good to view.

Naneil: Remember the reason for using prompts is NOT to get a better grade but to develop your thoughts to be able to speak and write more prophetic and to sound like you know what you're talking about.

Fahim: Make sure that you are writing in FULL sentences and using real spelling. U is not a word and either is C. Please repost and delete your text slang that is not allowed on this blog.

Mr. Alper said...

Nur also think about how has she and how is she still inspirational to ALL people.

Harriet Tubman was a lot different from other African Americans. She was the only who had the courage to escape and this may lead to other people to believe that braveness and courageness can lead to a successful life. If it weren't for Harriet Tubman there would still be slavery today. And today because of her braveness many people are leading their life into success, even me. ~ Lamiya R.

Naniel, She didn't only inspire blacks. That is what you stated that she only inspired blacks. I would actually like to add on that she was a role model and inspired other races also, not just blacks.

Thank you, Mr. Alper. I think that that Harriet Tubman not only inspires African Americans but other people too like Italians, Mexicans, and other people who had trouble getting freedom in our country because of immigrancy and other issues. This makes me realize that Harriet Tubman is a symbol of hope because it shows that people of different races can be together and that we should always have hope, because we should all hope that America stays the free country it's become.

Harriet Tumban inspired many people to be brave. She just did not inspire African Americans, but people of all races. Heck, even I'm inspired! She possessed of many great qualities of a kid, warm hearted person. Her selflessness insipred many people because she became a free slave stepping onto the golden land (Philedelphia, Penslyvania) and then risked her own life to go and free other slaves. She could have been hanged but knew the right path. This makes me think that African American people were smarter and kinder than the society judged them back in the 1820s to 1860s because using Harriet Tubman as a mentor they were kind people and she could go and trick white people and led more than 1,000 slaves to freedom. This may lead people to believe that all humans are equal and one, and no one should be able to own another man, woman, and/or child.

Harriet Tubman is an inspirational voice for anyone throughout the world. Her struggle has lead all to believe that we are one, and that no one is better than another. Sometimes in life, it is important to take risks, and make differences or else this world could get worse than before, or just stay the same. People like Harriet Tubman take those risks, and make our lives better, and maybe her actions can benefit our world. Lamiya, being a person who never loses hope is just a blessing. If people could consist such a power, and be so brave, than maybe people will have that ray of hope towards them, and feel like they can trust them, and this hope could come from the bottom of their heart. People who can make people feel safe are powerful people. For example, during the elections, people vote for who they feel they could trust, and be one of those inspirational people for them, and they should never judge a person by their looks, but what's inside their hearts, just like you don't judge a book by it's cover. When people take risks, it usually between death or victory, so when Harriet Tubman was running away, she could have stayed and become safe, but instead she created a ray of hope for those desperate people.

Sorry Mr.Alper about the propmt thing.It helps you have better understanding of prompts.

I concur with you Shayan, she has inspired everyone espically kids she coul be a role model for kids

Unknown said...

I think Harriet Tubman is a inspirational hero because she inspired slaves to stand up and/or escape. She helped people stand up to slavery. She will forever be an international hero!!! Kayla

Unknown said...

I think that Harriet Tubman is a heroic to everyone in this world because she taught other people that if you have hope in yourself, you can move on in life. Bravery lets many have courage in their selves, just like how Harriet Tubman freed the slaves so that they don't have to live a rough life. ~Lamiya Rahman

Unknown said...

i think Harriet Tubman was a very inspirational hero because she not only saved the lives of African American slaves, but also inspired others to be brave and risktaking just as she was. I agree with Noorshifa because Harriet Tubman's actions did create hope for the desperate slaves and she was truly inspirational.

Afm Khan said...

I concur with you Kazi because in the story, Harriet Tubman believes in god and that teaches you to put all of your faith on god. I concur with you Syed because she saved the lives of many African-Americans and that makes her an inspirational person because it teaches everybody to always help others. I beg to differ Naniel because Harriet Tubman was an inspiration to everyone, even I'm inspired. I concur with you Tazrean because if nobody became brave from following Harriet Tubman's example, we would be cowards and have no adventure in our lives. This makes me realize that taking a risk like Harriet Tubman took is worth it because if you help others, it is a good thing and improves the way everyone thinks about you because they'll know that you are brave or courageous.

I think Harriet Tubamn is still an inspirational hero to all people from all walks of life, not just African Americans because she shows that when there is a will, there is way. She expressed her faith and trusted God to lead her.However, she had love and also courage. When she integrated these two sources, she saved most of her family and friends. She lets people know not all dreams are impossible. Harriet tubman is one remarkable woman.

Ammaaazing Asian said...

I didn't SAY only blacks FAHIM!!!

Unknown said...

Harriet Tubman is not only an inspirational hero to African Americans, but to others because she taught people to always have faith and believe even in the toughest moments because in the story Moses she always looked to the lord for help and never gave up on him or herself. What I mean by that is she never stopped believing in her god and beliefs and she didn't give up on herself. She taught me to live my life always fighting for what I stood for and always put others before me. In the story, she never only thought about herself she always thought about freedom for all slaves especially her family. This reminds me of when my father says you always need to think of your family instead of yourself and that is what Harriet did...

I concur with you Daijah because Harriet Tubman taught us that we should always believe on God because He will help and save us. I also concur with you Anas because she taught us that dreams are and can be possible as long as you believe in them and yourself.

Harriet Tubman is still an inspirational hero to all people from all walks of life not just the African Americans because she thought that if you try hard in life while believing in God you can go along with it. Harriet Tubman always walked to God with nay trouble she had in life but though she never gave yp escaping. Slavery would still continue on today if ti weren't for her. This makes me realize that if you're looking for a path of freedom, you always succeed because not only do you help yourself but along with others.
