  • Pen
  • Knowledge
Step1
First paragraph...should include things such as Name, Life Span, Residence, Family.
Step2
Second paragraph...should include things such as their Life's Devotion and a summary of their greatest accomplishments. This paragraph is the hardest, as it should accurately sum up what the person lived for and what they believed in. It should have an inner message.
