Katherine Johnson In The Movie, Hidden Figures

When I was watching the movie “Hidden Figures” I saw the character Katherine Johnson really changed a lot. She went from a somewhat shy and hesitant woman to a brave and powerful woman. This character really showed woman that anything can be achieved if you work hard enough. Hidden Figures was a great movie and I believe that it goes beyond the context to tell a greater story.

Katherine Johnson was the “computer” she could crunch any numbers that were placed in front of her. Dorothy Vaughan was very good with mechanics.

I believe that Katherine thought other people that she worked with and that she interacted with saw her as a shy girl who did what she had to do to keep her job. When someone asked her to do something she did it without hesitant.
