James dean
Thesis Statement
I think James Dean is important because he is one of the best actors that has ever lived and he shows that if you work hard at what you want to do, you can succeed. He was great at sports and worked hard to become a good actor. He wasn’t perfect at acting but he took his criticism the right way and used it to grow and become a better actor.
