So far, Carlotta's father has had the greatest impact on her life because he taught her the skills that are part of life. Carlotta says,"Daddy taught me lots of practical skill, including some tasks that fathers of my generations were more likely to teach to their sons. Carlotta's father was the most impactful because what Carlotta learned from her father were the necessities in life. The things Carlotta learned from other members of her family were more so snippets of life and styles to live life, or ways to get around life easier.

If I were in Carlotta shoes I would've strongly considered attending Central HS because attending Central HS offered countless oppurtunites that would never be available if I didn't attend Central HS.  Carlotta says,"...wondering how much wider my options for college would be if I attended Central and sudden;y had all of its resources available to me.  Plus, Central had competitive athletic teams, and it was just a mile from my home, much closer than Mann.  My decision was made.

The most impact part of Carlotta's journey to New York was how she saw a new world that was free of the boundaries and restrictions of freedom that were present in the South.  This was the most impactful part of her trip, because this opened up Carlotta's eyes to show that the world was wider then the racially segregated South that she knew. Carlotta says,"Here in this brand new world a little white boy could exist, free of the boundaries that defined relationships back hoem."  The North gave Carlotta her first taste of true freedom.  With this first taste of freedom Carlotta experienced, Carlotta realized the strong distinction between the North and the South.  Her trip to New York may have been part of what inspired her to create change by being part of the little rock nine so that the South could have the same levels of freedom that the North had.

Carlotta's biggest concern is to not listen to what anyone says about her. If it is negative block it out and really take in the positive comments from teachers or students. Also she should realize that she is making a difference for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
One connection I can make between Carlotta is that i got bullied for the color of my hair and she got bullied for the color of her skin.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have not accepted because I would not want to get teased, bullied, and harassed about my skin color.  But if I were to go I would take the chance to stand up for myself and the other kids in LR9.

# data[].attributes.body
I would also chose to attend Central HS because I would want a better opportunity for education and not let discrimination hold me back, and also possibly help push for equality in schools.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was when she saw how free she was compared to the South, and also how much nicer and not as strict to them as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I would of went to the highschool and stood up for what i believe in. I also strongly believe in integrated schools because different races can teach so much to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
The most impactful person in the family was the father. He is the one who taught her everything.

# data[].attributes.body
If I was one of the LR9 when the administration released the form to attend Central HS, I would definitely accept the registration. Although I would be nervous for all of the obstacles in my future, I would accept the challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
i would say that carlottas most impactful family member would be her father. he taught her to be a hardworking woman no matter the odds. he taught her essential life skills and adult work so she would be prepared

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that impacted carlotta the most was the freedom she saw their, like the absence of signs discriminating against colored people when she says "That's when it struck me: There wasn't a "Whites Only" sign anywhere in sight" which shows that Carlotta was very surprised and inspired by the freedom in New York

# data[].attributes.body
The LR9´s biggest concern should unfair teaching patterns and harsh beliefs from other students. The teachers could be unfair towards the African American students and other students may be upset they are going to the same school as the LR9.

# data[].attributes.body
The most impactful person in her family is Big Daddy because he is a father figure and taught her useful skills. “Daddy taught me lots of particular skills, including some tasks that fathers of my generation were most likely to teach their sons” This shows that she was taught many useful things that could help her later in life.

# data[].attributes.body
She got to witness relationships and friendly interaction with those of different races. (the white boy she played with at the park)

# data[].attributes.body
I think the freedom up north impacted her the most especially from the busses. "Not once did the bus driver look back and order us to the back of the bus."

# data[].attributes.body
I would attend the Central HS, simply because I want to experience a environment where both races are mixed together.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the thing she should be most worried about is acts of violence and threats toward her because of her race.

# data[].attributes.body
I would attend Central HS because education is very important to become independently sustained.

# data[].attributes.body
If I was Carlotta Walls Lanier I would have chosen to go to Little Rock Central and fight for my rights. It would also be great to be part of a change in history and I want to be something great in my life and Little Rock Central has what I need.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest challenge is going to be the racial acts of violence such as people hitting, shoving, kicking.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection between myself and Carlotta is that my family and I also had to make a big life changing decision when we moved here.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact that they might be bullied by the white students and teachers. And may get injured

# data[].attributes.body
If I was in Carlotta's shoes I would not attend Central HS because  I could get bullied and would be single out of activities and other learning groups.

# data[].attributes.body
My person was Mahatma Gandhi and one connection I can between them is that they both faced challenges because of their race. They both also went to schools that were not their race. Like Mahatma Gandhi went to a School in England but he was India. And Carlotta went to a white school despite she being black

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest concern for the LR9 would be bullying because people would treat them differently because of their race.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Big Daddy had the greatest impact on Carlotta because he was like a father to her and he taught her many useful things. She tells us this when she says "Daddy taught me lots of practical skills, including some tasks that fathers of my generation were more likely to teach their sons" which shows that her daddy taught her very many useful things and skills

# data[].attributes.body
A connection between Carlotta and my independent reading book character is that they both experiences racist comments and overcoming challenges due to their race. I know that Carlotta experiences racist challenges because in the book on page 14-15 it says, “We most often left late at night and traveled until morning without stopping because hotels and restaurants throughout the South didn’t admit black customers. This is a challenge for Carlotta because she is having to go out of her way due to the color of her skin.

# data[].attributes.body
their biggest concern should be getting harmed and/or bullied

# data[].attributes.body
Carlotta´s father has the greatest impact because he pushed her by ¨waking me up at five a.m.,¨ and teaching her ¨practical skills¨.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I would have attended the school because for one I would like to see the experience and feel what it's like to be within white students. And Two so I could better education that I was getting

# data[].attributes.body
Carlotta's biggest concern with integrating Central HS should be how people would react to her going to the HS. This is because the HS was full of whites and she was going to be only one of the African Americans who would be going there.

# data[].attributes.body
personally i believe carlotta and i share a grateful aspect to our personality

# data[].attributes.body
One connection I can make between myself and Carlotta is other people getting stereotypical over us based on our race. During the book, Carlotta, like many other people found having a ordinary relationship between blacks and whites weird. MLW says, Here in this brand new world, an ordinary friendship between a little black girl and a little white boy could exist, free of the boundaries that defined such relationships back home." (MLW 25). This is similar to some stereotypical people thinking I'm chinese even though I'm not.

# data[].attributes.body
one connection i can make is that i’ve had to make a life changing decision before and i went through a lot of thinking to do it

# data[].attributes.body
i think i would have attended as it would have been a challenge and would’ve been fun

# data[].attributes.body
i would have taken the chance to attend CHS. i say this for multiple reasons. it has better education and athletics programs, and although there would be racial difference, with enough time and effort everyone would be treated equal. my final point is we would be the first to beat the odds and prove we are equal

# data[].attributes.body
one connection I can make with Carlotta is that I have also been in a situation where I had to move somewhere where I am not familiar with. "This was the Freedmen's north I'd heard so much about." page 20

# data[].attributes.body
I would

# data[].attributes.body
if i were one of the LR9 i would take the opportunity to go because it would be a big deal in American history and i would want to be apart of that, even if the people there would be hard to deal with

# data[].attributes.body
When Charlotta was walking through the station and she felt like she was in a play. " I felt like a real-life Alice in Wonderland." Also when she got off the train and saw her family she was excited.

# data[].attributes.body
I would take the opportunity because it would be taking a step and fighting for equality. Also it would provide me with better resources and a good chance of getting into a good college in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
That part where she saw that black and white ppl could be together without any differences and they wouldn't be looked at any differently. "Here colored men and women seemed to walk with their backs a bit straighter"

# data[].attributes.body
i believe her father was most impactful as she taught her to drive and work hard from a early age. he also taught he that her education was very important which made her pick central high

# data[].attributes.body
During her trip to New York Carlotta learned that desegregation is possible. In New York Carlotta got her first taste of freedom and now that she has experienced it, she wants more! "My parents had ingrained in me all of my life that people of all races were equal in the eyes of God. Here, in New York, I was getting a glimpse of life through his His divine lens."

# data[].attributes.body
The most impactful part of the trip was that

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there biggest concern would be segregation and being harmed or bullied

# data[].attributes.body
My Independent Reading person was really thin and short and got spotted and got singled out. Carlotta also got spotted and singled out because of her race.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest concern is segregation because we know that they are going through desegregation, but there is still a lot of conflict between the two sides, a big one is Emmett Till, so they had to have know that there would have been problems, but they still wanted to go.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is her big daddy because he taught there the the both and all races can cooperate and work together

# data[].attributes.body
Her dad because he taught her a lot of things and gave her a lot of knowledge. Also because she thinks of him as a fun man and that has impacted her perspective of him. "But he was wise too and very much the traditional head of our household"

# data[].attributes.body
If I were Carlotta or any of the Little Rock Nine, and I had an opportunity to go to Central HS I would probably go because it’s something that can change how people see schooling. It would be hard because of the other kids but i would still do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I would have gone so that I could change things and try to make things right and equal.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, i believe the most impactful part of her trip was finding out what an integrated community looked like. she saw there was no signs to discriminate, and whites and blacks hung out. especially when she had positive relations with a white boy named francis

# data[].attributes.body
I would take the opportunity because it was a hard time with segregation going on and it would of been hard to sign up because it would persuade other people to sign up. It also helped enforce civil rights.

# data[].attributes.body
If I were Carlotta or any of the LR9 I would mostly be concerned about the other students making fun if us and bulling us because our skin tone

# data[].attributes.body
I would attend it, even though I know I would have to go through a lot of difficult moments, but I know I would get over them some day, and I would learn a lot of new things that I wouldn't know if I didn't experience it, and I would tell that to my future generation (kids, grandkids, etc) so they know what I learned before even going through it.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, if I was going to central HS in Carlotta’s shoes my biggest concern would be the other classmates who might believe what their parents believe and they could be racist. I would be concerned to go to a school where people don’t like or agree with you. I think this because

# data[].attributes.body
Her dad because he showed her what fear can do to some people. "Daddy mapped out our road trips so that we never pass through mississippi."

# data[].attributes.body
The person in Carlotta’s family who was the most impacted was her mother. This is because she supported Carlotta during the transition and during her rough times when she was targeted at her new school. All and all, her mother was always by her side and supported and encouraged her bravery and leadership. She was impacted by feeling the same pain as Carlotta and getting down due to all of the hurtful comments that come her daughters way. Her mother impacted Carlotta by constant encouraging her and pushing her through her obstacles.

# data[].attributes.body
Carlotta stood out a lot at her new school and this relates to my IR person Kate Middleton because she cannot even go to the store without being spotted.They also had to or have to have security near them and they were stoked by cameras.

# data[].attributes.body
I think papa holloway impacted her beause he built the house for the family. " He helped build the houses through Arkansas."

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the most impactful part of Carlotta's trip would be Carlotta hanging out with the white boy named Francis. It appears stereotypical for african american children to avoid white children, and it must have felt weird for Carlotta to have a ordinary friendship with Francis. MLW says, "But among the more memorable experiences of that magical summer in New York were the times I spent with the white boy who became my best friend. ... Here in this brand new world, an ordinary friendship between a little black girl and a little white boy could exist, free of the boundaries that defined such relationships back home." (MLW 25).

I would of took the opportunity to attend the high school then i would of took it. I dont care what no one says.

# data[].attributes.body
I would decide based on what my family would say, and also what other friends what would do. In the book, she was ready to go to Horace Mann with her friends. She was also excited to go the the school because it was a new school. For her, she decided to go because one of the main reasons was that she could get wider opportunities for college.

# data[].attributes.body
If I were carlota or any of the Little rock nine, I would be most worried about my classmates that were raised to hate people of color. There are many people that would attempt to ruin the social reputations of colored students simply because their parents would. One way they would  do this is target the friends of the little rock nine and use them as an example to anyone who was thinking of befriending colored students. " The kindness of students like Betty sailed under the radar because to be detected was to draw harassment their own way ." pg. 121

# data[].attributes.body
i think her dad had the most impact on her life. because when Emmett till was lynched then they started to leave and move around Mississippi in their trips and road trips even if they had to go a longer route just to not go through Mississippi."Daddy mapped our road trips so that we never even passed through Mississippi."

# data[].attributes.body
Her mother because she

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the family member that had the most impact on her was Big  Daddy. Big Daddy was from the Walls side of the family. From Big Daddy she learned that it is possible for both races to cooperate. "I trailed behind him proudy, thinking to myself that Big Daddy must be a rich, important man to get such respect from white folks." pg(14)
