Rosa Parks


Rosa Parks was an important person that helped us today. Rosa Park was born February 4th 1913 and died in October 24th 2005. She motivated me because she didnt want to sit in the back of the bus when the white person told her to get up. She was very brave and intelligent. She organized and collaborated with the Cival rights leader. Her husband name was Raymond Parks. Rosa Park inspired many people because she is a brave woman and she respects people if they respect her. Rosa parks was named Rosa Louise by her parents. She moved with her grandparents because her parents were separated when she was two years old.
Her mother home schooled her until she was eleven. She started college but then she dropped out to take care of her grandmother who became ill. Her husband Raymond Parks was a barber. Rosa Parks was an African American woman. Rosa Parks childhood brought her early experiences with discrimination for racial equality. Rosa Parks grandparents were former slaves. Her Grandfather stood outside with a shotgun while the Ku Klux Klan were marching down the streets. The achiever, Rosa Parks attended segregated schools but that did not work out because she had to take care of her grandmother In Pine Level. Rosa got her degree in the year of 1933. Rosa Parks was the secretary to president E.D, Nixon until the year of 1957.

Mice and Men

George needed to shoot Lennie. Even though some people believe that George did not need to shoot Lennie well, he deserved it. Lennie was not always the person you looked up to. Would you have shot Lennie? The first reason why George had to shoot Lennie is because Lennie killed Curley’s wife. Lennie had no rights to lay a hand on his wife. Lennie broke Curley’s wife neck. If Curly got a chance to kill Lennie he would of probably made his death worst. Lennie was making his life worst by doing this. Wouldn’t you get mad is someone killed your wife?                 

The second reason why George shot Lennie was that he had a mental retardation. Lennie could not live by himself without causing trouble. Lennie loves to touch soft things and when he does a lot of negative thing happens. Lennie killed a mouse because it was soft and he could not control his strength when he was touching it. If Lennie never had George to watch him we do not know what he would of did by now. Lennie has the brain of a five year old and does things he is not sopposed to.
The third reason why George had to shoot Lennie was because he was worthless. Lennie was just like Candy’s old dog. Lennie did not have a job and he did not enjoy his life the way a man like him should be. Lennie lives a boring five year old life. Lennie wasn not succesful and he was living with George because he could not take care of himself. Do you think Lennie was worthless?
Lennie got shot by George and it was meant to be. Lennie was so immature and did not deserve to be in this world. Lennie was not responsible and did many disrespecting things. How do you feel about Lennie’s death?
