Nellie: Worthy Of The Nobel Peace Prize

Improved Essays
I am writing to you on the behalf of Nellie the dog to nominate her as worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize as recognition for her great actions. I believe that Nellie truly expresses what it means to have courage. Nellie is constantly showing everyone what it means to be a loyal, and a loving family member. Rather that giving it to one humble person or give it to a humble and loving pet.

If Nellie were not to keep look out for her owner, than she would not have been able to save her owner. Even if it weren't for Gill, then Nellie would not be into her loving family, and she wouldn’t keep smiles on many faces.Nellie has been recognized for her brave acts as she warned her owner of a intruder. Late at night, an intruder was heard upon by Nellie.

While Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi's theories are still relevant, they are fifty plus years old and seem to lose the interest of kids of the modern age. To some peoples’ dismay there are events happening in the last decade involving civil disobedience.…
