The Man, the Myth, the Legend

I believe that John Henry was a real person. I believe this because stories get there start from something that truely happened in ones past. Stories happen from past experiences, a dream, or thoughts on a situation. John Henry was a man of great ability. He had great work ethic and died doing his work. He had something that you don't see now a days - he took pride in his work. He lived to do his job and his job was to be the best driver there was for the railroad. That is why he took on the challenge of the steam driver - he knew he would win. As I think about it I feel like he almost had to die to prove his point at being the best. He is a great example to all workers because he shows them to never give up and you can accomplish anything.
