About 167 years ago when slavery was around NightJohn taught all of us a lot. He taught us about Freedom, Leadership, and Bravery. Freedom means the power to speak, act, or think. Leadership means the action of leading a group of people. Bravery means courageous behavior or character. NightJohn had all of these traits in ways to teach Sarny how to read. Before NightJohn came slaves did not know how to read. Slaves value literacy because they want to have the same rights as white people and want to know how to read. Sarny did not know how to read until NightJohn came and taught her letters. NightJohn had leadership because he taught people how to read, when knowing he wasn’t suppose too. That is leadership, being a leader is being strong.
