I like Jane Addams because she helped a lot of people.  She opened a settlement house in Chicago that helped the many people in her community.

I like Jane Addams because she founded Hull House.  I learned that Jane Addams had a friend named Ellen Gates Starr.  Also, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.  She died in a Chicago hospital and was buried in Cedarville, Illinois.  Oh yeah, she was born in Cedarville,  Illinois in the year of 1860.

Jane Addams is a very important person from our Illinois history.  She came from a wealthy family, but was intrigued by those less fortunate than herself.  In her childhood, her father influenced her to help others.  After college, Jane traveled to Europe and saw much poverty.  She also saw the world's first settlement house.  She was determined to open her own settlement house in Illinois where poverty was also evident.  Jane and her friend, Ellen, opened their own settlement house, known as Hull House.  At this settlement house, many of the diverse population of Chicago were welcomed for all kinds of activities.  Jane gave her life and all she had to make the lives of people in need better.
