Rosa Parks


Rosa Parks was a woman in 1955 who decided to break the LAW. Rosa had worked a long day and was tired. She boarded the bus and decided she would sit in the front of the bus and not the back as blacks were told to do. Rosa was then driven to the police station and arrested for breaking the law.

If I were Rosa Parks, I wouldn't have given up my seat either. I would feel proud when I got arrested because I got arrested for doing the right thing.

Yes, I would be brave because they have no rights to tell me where to sit. They might have the right to tell me, but that is not a right to me. I should be the one to tell myself to sit in the back. If I did get arrested then I would feel pretty good to stand up for myself, and then I would feel pretty bad about going to jail. I never want to go to jail.

Yes I will be brave and sit where I want to on the bus instead of sitting in the back of the bus.The feelings I would have if I was arrested would be that I was dumb and smart at the same time, one other feeling would be happy because I stood up for what I believed in.That would be the feelings I would have if I were being arrested.
