I have realized that I wouldn't risk anything for a stranger,unless I see that the stranger is completely helpless or needy.In the book THE FIGHTING GROUND Jonathan found a little helpless, dirty, lonesome and scared boy in the the shed of a vaccant house around where the three Hessians has taken him. His parents where no where in sight and Jonathan felt pity for the boy and decided to help. When I walk around or go driving I see alot of homeless people who ask for money or food. Most people are scared of them and ignore them as well as I.But when you watch T.V and see a helpless child your instinct is to help.Even if you don't know them .Just as Jonathan did. We could just ignore people in their time of need. Jonathan didnt ignore the little boy.Just for helping the boy Jonathan risked his chance to escape and kill the Hessians.A lot of people in the world won't have enogh courage to do what Jonathan did.He went all out and risked it all. I truly believe that I personaly won't risk as much for a stranger.

I agree with Ashley. Our first instinct is to help. We cannot help the fact that we are good people. Then again some people would base their decision on first impression.If someone is stuck up and concieded some would not help them. First impressions of a complete stranger are important. Unless there is a small child who cannot help themselves only then first impresssions wouldnt count. In my opinion I would help a stranger just out of kindness and not to be rude. Always remember kindness ALWAYS counts. If you were in distress would you not want someone to come and help you? Would you not want to be saved? Jonathan held the little boy tightly to his chest, to estabish trust.He trusted Jonathan to help him, and so Jonathan had done exactly that.Jonathan had risked his life for a complete stranger.
