Question

Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job.

The Hendricks family abided by the campaign and didn't buy new clothes or toys for months. Instead, when Audrey's mother traveled up north to ask white people who supported civil rights to donate money to ACMHR, she also asked them to send toys and clothes for poor black families in Birmingham for Christmas. By mid-December that year, games, puzzles, train sets, dolls, and stuffed animals filled Audrey's living room.

Which of Mrs. Hendricks’s character traits is best highlighted in this excerpt?

Answer 1

The correct answer is her compassion.

Step-by-step explanation:

This excerpt shows Mrs. Hendrick's compassion for the situation in which poor black families live.

That is why she takes the initiative to ask white families for donations in order to make black people have a better Christmas.

The book We've Got a Job was written by Cynthia Levinson and tells the story of 4 children who were part of about 4000 who were part of a march against racist attitudes and are set in the era of the struggle for civil rights.

Answer 2

The correct answer is “her compassion”. This is defined as kind pity and concern for the sorrows or misfortunes of others. In this excerpt we can notice how Mrs. Hendricks cares about others instead of prioritizing herself by asking people to donate clothes and toys for humble, people in need, while she didn’t even buy new things for her family.
