Winston Churchill- Jake Weston



We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

Sir Winston Churchill always thought against treating with Hitler.  But little did he know he would eventually become Prime Minister of England during World War 2.  In the late 1930’s, Neville Chamberlain (The Prime Minister at that time) tried to make peace with Hitler by establishing treaties with him, which he did.  But Hitler ignored them and kept building up his army and attacking countries around England.  During the time of Neville Chamberlain wanting peace, Winston Churchill kept arguing and saying that they must go to war with Hitler and that he will ignore the treaties.  After Winston Churchill’s theory proved right, Neville Chamberlain resigned as Prime Minister and Winston Churchill took his place.

Winston Churchill encouraged the people and carefully guided his Army eventually to victory.  Over and over again, he displayed warfare smarts that kept England alive and well during the war.  If it weren’t for Sir Winston’s guidance and leadership, Hitler may have very well taken over the world.  


Heroic Attributes
Lesson
Sir Winston Churchill possessed many heroic attributes, including bravery, leadership, and being an example to others.  He is willing to help others and sacrifice for them.  He is dedicated to fighting for good and contributing to the good of the world. 

Sir Winston went through many trials as Prime Minister, but passed right through them to eventually defeat Hitler and win the war.  He is truly a real hero.
I learn from Winston Churchill that no matter how hard a challenge, you can always step up to it and defeat it.  I can try to be like him by showing bravery in the face of danger, and knowing what to do and having the smarts if something terrible happens.  

Also, no matter what your appearance may be, you can achieve great things.
