There once was a little girl, Annie Oakley, who 

lived with her beloved family containing her 

mother, father, and 6 other siblings, Oakley being 

the fifth of seven. She was living a care-free life 

up until her father passed away. This is when 

Oakley started showing her true heroic colors. 

Annie Oakley was a hero of all time due to her 

bravery, determination, and resourcefulness.

Annie Oakley was the first female sharpshooter remembered 

today. She was constantly thriving to hunt, sell, and keep her 

family going. Oakley was a very determined, courageous, and 

resourceful woman. Oakley had many life changing experiences 

that formed how she was, including being adopted into an abusive 

family, in which she called the "wolf family. " Oakley was worked, 

hurt, lied to, underfed, and uncared for when she lived with them. 

One day, when the "wolf family" was away, she made a break for it. 

Even when Oakley knew she was chancing everything, she still 

attempted to run away. Oakley hit the train station, and rode it 

back to the orphanage. Though the family came storming back to 

the orphanage, demanding Oakley back, she remained living happily 

with the orphanage. This is only one example of how she was brave.

Annie Oakley was also very determined. One way that Oakley  

showed this was because she was constantly trying to prove a 

point, in which was that women could do anything that only 

men were thought to be able to accomplish. When Oakley was 

in Buffalo Bill's Wild West, the profit she made went to 

Butler/herself, her mother, and orphanages. She was 

constantly thriving to keep herself and her mother going. 

After all her mom had been through, Oakley was determined 

to keep her satisfied and happy. Oakley was also committed 

to performing well in the Wild West shows, always trying her 

hardest to entertain and surprise the audience, making them 

happier.

Whoa!

Sweet!

Annie Oakley was also very resourceful. For example, when she first 

started hunting and selling game. After her father died and Oakley 

started using his gun, she started to shoot animals for meat. As she 

improved her accuracy, she would kill bigger animals, take meat for her 

family, and sell the rest to butchers. Even though Oakley got barely any 

education, she was smart with her decisions. She would go around shooting 

animals through the skull, bringing them in, and getting a nice bargain for 

the kill. Soon enough, the whole town knew what a good shot she was. Her 

customers never complained about a bad shot spot on the animals’ body. 

Oakley was known even by restaurants due to the extra meat the butchers 

didn’t need, they sold it to restaurants. Another way Annie Oakley was 

resourceful was that she used her skills for a job and activity. This is 

because she applied her shooting skills in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show 

and made Butler, herself, and the business admired and famous, causing 

them to make more profit and viewers. With the money she earned, she 

and Butler gave to Oakley's mother, saved, and donated to orphanages. 

Oakley also used this trait to help her get deals/bargains, matches, more 

opportunities.
