Summary: Rosa Parks: My Story
Review: I personally thought that this book was very interesting. It gave me a view of what it was like to be in her shoes. At some parts in the book I actually felt like I was her or one of the other characters in the book. It's a shame that people had to fight for what they did back then. I guess now it shows that we are a much stronger Nation.

Summary: My Story
Review: Rosa Parks tells the story of her life through amazing passages in her own autobiography. Rosa was born on Feb. 4, 1913 in Tuskegee Alabama. She entered school in Pine Level in 191, where her mother taught. In 1924, she attended school in Montgomery, but leaves 4 years after to take care of her mother and grandmother. Rosa married Raymond Parks in Dec. in 1932, and encouraged her get her high school degree, which she received in 1933. Finally, in 1943, she became Secretary of the NAACP, and it wasn't until then that she met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and was inspired to go with the Civil Rights movement. She's probably most famous for what she did on that Montgomery bus; she stayed in her seat and didn't budge even when they threatened to arrest her.

Rosa has a strong character and a will to succeed. She was determined to stand up for herself, accepting the consequences. What she did on the bus displayed a power that most people don't have. Instead of giving in to what seemed was the easy way out, Rosa took the high road and stood her ground. She could have taken it easy and just moved back a seat, but she didn't budge. Segregation was a big issue back then, but many people had different opinions. It was because of Rosa that the Civil Rights Movement started, beginning with the Montgomery Bus Boycott she started.

Although her life shows her strong will, the hardest thing she must have done was stay on that bus. She willed up enough strength and courage to stand her ground. All she had to do was give up her seat to a white man; it was the law. The law said white people were above colored, which of course, isn't true. Thanks to the inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., she knew what she had to do. She stayed on that bus and allowed them to arrest her. She started the Montgomery Bus Boycott because of this, which led into the Civil Rights Movement. Still, her stand on the bus was my favorite part from her autobiography.

Summary: A Strong Woman
Review: Rosa Parks was a Black woman who lived in a time of unequality. Blacks were being treated as though they were lower and were lost of the many priveleges that white people had. Well, Rosa Parks didn't let what they thought get in her way. She stood for what she believed in and stuck by it all the way. By refusing to sit at the end of the bus, Rosa showed me how strong, independent, daring, and brave she was. She knew of the consequences yet it didn't stop her. I really admire her.
This book came across me after my friend Catherine read it and recommended it to me. She told me that it was a good book and that I should read it. She told me that it would touch my heart and would help me see Rosa Parks in a different way. Seeing the cover, I knew that it would talk about one of the most important events of her life-the incident at the bus.
I enjoyed this book very much. My favorite part was when she refused to sit at the back of the bus.She demonstrated acts of bravery and courage. She showed them that she was equal and that no one had the right to treat them differently. That event also proved that small acts can make big differences in the world. One little protest made a positive change in the way of the world. This helped me want to be more active in our world. I realized that the blacks had to go through so much to be where they are today. It helped me appreciate them more. This book should be read by everyone!

Summary: A good story about a strong woman.
Review: Rosa Parks: My Story is about this lady named Rosa Parks. She refused to move to the back of the bus. She went to jail because she refused to move to the back of the bus. Rosa Parks was born February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee and was named Rosa after her grandmother, Rose. What I liked about the story was that she had the courage to stand up to the white people and policemen. What I didn't like was that the police had to take Rosa to jail, but they didn't want to. They said it was wrong.
