He adds on a trait this trait is being generous. Senmut is being generous because when menkh said we have to go, Senmut said no I have to finish this statue. This is being generous because menkh is not going to leave without Senmut and Senmut won’t leave until he is done with the statue. When menkh asked how long he said I don’t know. That is why Senmut is being generous. He is trying to help his dad heal and that is why he has to be generous. Senmut adds on the last trait that is being brave. Senmut is being very brave. He is being brave by saying ill smash the statue that is worth so much and it is valuable just for a friend. This is being brave. He is risking a valuable object for his friend.
