 Why do you think memoir is important for us to read? What does memoir offer us as readers and human beings? May 3, 2008

I think memoir is very important to read because it shows what other people have gone through. It teaches us lessons and how to live life. Memoirs offers us as readers and human beings the opportunity to learn from other peoples mistakes and to take the lessons and apply it to our own life. Rosa Parks showed her difficulty with segregation and teaches us not to look on the outside, but look in the inside. -Mindy F.  May 4, 2008  A memoir is very important because it is the most accurate record of someone’s life. Others may comment on what appears to be happening in someone else’s life but only that person knows for sure. A life that can inspire others ought to be recorded. -Lauren B.

      April 16,2008 What made me sad

A situation that made me sad was when the Scottsboro Boys were accused of rapping to white woman.The men were accused of beating them with guns and knives, but the police didn't find any guns or knives .Two doctors said that the women did not have any wounds or bruises on the ladies.Still the judge said that their were guilty even though they weren't.The judge sentenced all of them but the youngest to die in the electric chair.The case went on longer than this, and in the book the men weren't killed yet. This made me sad because the whites were so cruel and unfair to the blacks .It was clear that the men didn't rape the women but they still said that they were guilty because of the mens skin color.That is unfair! -Lauren B April 16, 2008 <span style="COLOR: rgb(82,7,126)">What surprised me was that the white owners were actually being nice to Rosa. Even though the Father of the boy saying the sweet things to Rosa, was very upset. Knowing that during that time, some people really cared. It also made me very scared and sad to see the picture of the KKK. It made me think about how cruel people were back then to not just African-Americans, but to Jews, Homosexuals, Muslims, etc.. It makes me feel really proud to read about people who stood up for what was rightly theirs. -Mindy F

April 16, 2008 <span style="COLOR: rgb(82,10,138)">Rosa is having a hard deal with the segregation in the world. She should up to the white policeman and the bus driver. She showed what her life needed to be. I think this impacts her life because without her standing up for what was right, she would not have been the person we remember her today. ~Mindy~ <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,185)"> April 16,2008 <span style="COLOR: rgb(166,14,175)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,185)">A huge conflict that Rosa had along with the African Americans in America, was segergation.This included in having unfair laws ,such as sepreated schools, separated water fountains,and seprate seats on buses,and other things like these. Along with these issues, whites were unfair and cruel to blacks.This created many conflicts in America ,making Rosa's life much more difficult. -Lauren B
