John McCain
I found this person inspiring because he stood up for his county every moment of his life. He fought for his country. He was even tortured for several years. In the US he tried to run for presidency. Towards the end of his life, he developed brain cancer and passed away. I used this tool because it clearly illustrates a story. It sets the stage of where the story begins and how it develops. -
