Hello teachers and fellow students. I’m Allie Workman, an 8th grader at Northern Burlington County Regional Middle School. I’m here to talk about the greater good and how it’s defined in literature. Putting yourself at risk could help the greater good. Is the greater good to you important? Does it have to do with your actions, religion, or even your personal values? Throughout Fearless and in real life, having bravery, hope, and pushing obstacles out of the way help uncover the greater good.
The first way literature helps define the greater good is with having bravery. Having bravery will help you overcome the scary problems to get to the good.

She never let her feelings get in the way. She always tried again, trial and error was her thing. However, it doesn’t matter how hard the problem is, it’s the way you decide to get over
