He took care of her many times and she seemed to really care about him. In the memoir Carlotta says "I could see through the car window the silhouette of Big Daddy, a cigar clenched between his teeth and a pool stick in his hand, standing in the darkness, checking on his grandbaby". I think this shows that he cared as much about her as she did about him.]]> 2020-03-10 18:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457852425 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457853846 In my opinion the biggest concern to the Little Rock 9 would be being harassed, beaten up and physically abused by people inside and outside the school.

Anne and her family were in hiding all because of their religion. Their racist and discriminatory ruler, Hitler, did not allow equal treatment to Jews, similar to how Carlotta and the LR9 were treated very differently from everyone just because of their race and what they look like. They were just normal human beings just like anyone else and everyone deserves the same treatment no matter what they look like or what they believe.

That’s when it struck me: There wasn’t a “Whites Only” sign anywhere in sight.” Carlotta saw what it would be like if there was no more segregation. ]]> 2020-03-10 18:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457857333 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457857529 I would like to say that i would have taken the opportunity, but i know that that is a lie. I would probably, even though i cared about my education, not go. I would realize that i would be hated and that my life may possibly be threatened, and I would not take the risk.

Daddy had a big soft spot in his heart for his daughters...he often worked two or three jobs at a time, whatever it took to provide for his family". (chap. 3, pg. 46-47). This quote shows how her father impacts Carlotta's life since through his acts it shows how he had been there for the family and showing characteristics in which she would learn that would impact how Carlotta acts and effects other.  ]]> 2020-03-10 18:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457858328 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457858338 A big worry would be apart of being oppressed by racial hate towards colored people and being physically harmed and being denied any value of actually attempting to integrate into the school]]> 2020-03-10 18:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457858338 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457858564 they would get bullied and harassed and get bad looks at them because people at the school would never have seen a black person at their school and thought bad about it ]]> 2020-03-10 18:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457858564 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457859070 One thing that relates Carlotta and my the person from my independent novel is that they were both extremely brave. In my independent novel the man goes to fight for America in the front lines of world war 2. He volunteered being fully prepared to die for his countries freedom.

I believe this because in A Mighty Long Way it says "Because of what happened to Emmett Till, Mississippi became a fearsome place in my mind, and I wanted never to set foot there. That must have been the case with the adults in my family, too, because from that moment on, Daddy mapped out our road trips so that we never passed through Mississippi." This shows that Carlotta's daddy was fearful of Mississippi and influenced Carlotta to be as well. They never set foot in Mississippi and they never will. ]]> 2020-03-10 18:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457860909 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457861223 If I had the opportunity to integrate the school I would only go if my friends came.]]> 2020-03-10 18:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457861223 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457861409 If I was given the opportunity to end school segregation in my town I would.

The connection i can make between them is that they both had to overcome great difficulty and caused a big change in the world. Genghis Khan had to go through betrayal and losing family members and loved ones, which is very difficult to go through. Carlotta had to go through threats on her life and the life of her family along with harassment and hate. This is also something difficult to go through. My second connection is that they both changed the world. Genghis Khan united all of the mongolian tribes, while Carlotta helped bring along civil rights and integration.

It was just a matter of time before I was ready to step out of the one I knew.”]]> 2020-03-10 18:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457868039 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457868049 In my opinion, the biggest concern Carlotta should have of with integrating into Central HS is the verbal and physical abuse the other kids will put her through. Since many people looked down on African Americans during that time, Carlotta and the others integrating will face abuse and bullying in many ways that could possibly cause mental damage and physical.  "I had no idea how much my life and the lives of those closest to me were about to change."

Carlotta was a young girl who helped many people see that there should not be segregation and showed people like her that they can do anything that others can do. Though they were both different ages and did very different things they were both helpful to many people. ]]> 2020-03-10 18:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457870457 enriley https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457871518 I think Carlotta’s father had the greatest impact on her life because he taught her a lot of things from her ABC’s to how to drive and was a patient and diligent teacher.]]> 2020-03-10 18:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457871518 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457872509 I think that there biggest concerns should have been the danger.

Page 25 states, "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."]]> 2020-03-10 22:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457977626 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457979485 In my opinion, Carlotta's biggest concern with integrating Central HS should be the group's safety and how other people could ridicule them. Pages 58 & 60 state, "For our own safety, he added, we had to leave the school grounds as soon as our classes ended. [...] You are not to date--or even look at--our girls.' [...] I wondered how Ernie and the other guys in the room must have felt. What if they accidentally bumped a white girl? Or, God forbid, smiled at one? Would it be misinterpreted? Would they be reprimanded? Or worse?"]]> 2020-03-10 22:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457979485 https://padlet.com/rrosales/ll34glm0j0no/wish/457983904 If I was in Carlotta's shoes and given the chance to attend Central HS I would take it. The school had better equipment and can better support the students. Carlotta explains that, "The school had a stellar reputation for sending it's graduates to the top-rated colleges in the country, often on scholarships [...] It also had a huge two-thousand-seat auditorium, professional stage, and state-of-the-art lighting for students interested in theater. Students interested in biology and science had access to a fully equipped greenhouse." Central High school provides their students with all that they need to succeed and the school can also help open doors to the future of your dreams. That is one reason why I would want to go there.
