I am now in the position to create a team instead of cringe at the groups that do not act as a team and are unsuccessful in the mission.

With that being said, I would take my father, my aunt, and the UT Chancellor’s Honors Program’s own, Joshua Dobbs. I believe each of the people I have chosen have what it takes to face new challenges, and even new planets.
In the book, Warriors Don’t Cry, Melba Pattillo Beals brought significant events that are significantly influenced her and the other characters. There are two factors that I feel have significantly influenced Melba and other characters in the book, such as family and community support and racial politics.

The strongest villain we have encountered in literature thus far is Arnold Friend.
