📖 When Rosa Parks Went Fishing

What was Rosa Park like when she was young? When Rosa was young her family lived in her grandparent's farm, Pine Level in Alabama. Rosa's mother was a teacher and Rosa's father was a traveling woodworker. Rosa's mother passed the belief to have respect for herself and others to Rosa. It was the most important thing she said. When Rosa started school she loved it, however around this time Rosa learned a lesson; life could be dangerous for black people as some groups of white hated anybody else who wasn't white, who wasn't the same as them. Did that stop Rosa Park? No! In fact it made her angry to see people treated badly or differently just because of the color of their skin. One summer Rosa's mother took her to Montgomery. There she saw segregation. For example there were even different water fountains for "colored" and "white". The law even said that people could be treated differently just because of the color of their skin. Another example/law in city buses was that black people sat in the back while white people got to sit in the front. If a black person refused to move he/she/it would be arrested and put into jail. Rosa knew this was wrong, if people stood up then maybe things would change- for the better. How could things change if people refused to change? If things changed would all people be treated as an equal? I recommend " When Rosa Parks Went Fishing" because it explains Rosa Park's determination and fight for justice with vivid drawings and descriptive words.

当罗莎年轻时,她的家人住在亚拉巴马州的祖父母的农场,位于Pine Level。罗莎的妈妈是一名教师,爸爸是一个旅行木匠。罗莎的妈妈传递了尊重自己和他人的信念给她,她说这是最重要的事情。罗莎开始上学后很喜欢,但在这段时间里她学到了一课:对于黑人来说,生活可能很危险,因为一些白人群体讨厌任何不是白人或不同于他们的人。这停止了罗莎吗?不!事实上,这让她愤怒,因为看到人们因为肤色而受到不公平待遇或不同对待。有一个夏天,罗莎的妈妈带她去了蒙哥马利。在那里,她看到了种族隔离。例如,甚至有为"有色人种"和"白人"设置不同的饮水机。法律甚至规定,人们可以因为皮肤颜色而受到不同的待遇。在城市公交车上,黑人坐在后排,而白人可以坐在前排。如果黑人拒绝移动位置,他/她/它将被逮捕并投入监狱。罗莎知道这是错误的,她相信如果人们站起来,也许事情会变得更好。如果人们不改变,事情怎么会改变呢?如果事情改变了,所有人会被平等对待吗?我推荐阅读《当罗莎·帕克去钓鱼时》,因为它用生动的插图和描述性的文字解释了罗莎·帕克的决心和对正义的奋斗。
