Question

Medal.
Your job is to pick a person in history that is admired for standing up to authority. You could look into Jim Crow Laws, Civil Rights Movement, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, etc. There are so many options here!

In your play, you need to describe the situation and motivation for this person to take such action. What gave this person the courage to stand up for what he/she believed? Was it religious, political, etc? WHY did this person oppose some type of authority? What were the short and long term effects of this eventual opposition for this person and society?

Answer 27

Rosa Parks: "No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”
Public: How did it made you feel with all the segregration going on?
Rosa Parks: That's a silly question; how would it make you feel when someone says you can't breathe at certain locations?
Public: *in silence*
Rosa Parks: If I wanted to I could have gotten up and left like everyone else, but instead I wanted to change. Change the way things played out, I was getting tired of the same old "no blacks on the bus" game.
Public: Why didn’t you mind going to jail?
Rosa Parks: I believe in fighting for what's right and standing for it till you die, so what's jail compared to that?
Public: Would you mind explaining what really happened, your point of view perhaps?

Answer 44

Public: Oh my, then what happened?
Rosa Parks: Then I looked up at him as politely as possible; and uttered these three words, "I'm sorry, no."
Public: Go on, just finish the story!
Rosa Parks: Then he said what he did which I rather not discuss since I am a lady but all I can tell you is that I didn’t move from my spot. I didn’t feel the need to, actually. He called the police and they came, they took my fingerprints and took me with them, and I went acceptably.
Public: Wow, I admire you for that.
Rosa Parks: No it's okay, no big deal. I just keep one quote of a person I admire the most, Martin Luther King Jr. He said, "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
Public: *starts applauding*

Answer 46

I really like it good job!

Answer 47

yay

Answer 48

Just letting you know, the rule wasn't no blacks on the bus. The rule was the blacks had to sit in the back of the bus unless there was an open seat up front. But if a white wanted that seat then they HAD to give it up. Maybe that'll help you. But your things seems to be going well otherwise. Good job!
