Rosa Parks: My Story

Post by BigDave »

On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. “Let me have those front seats” said the driver. She didn’t get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people. “I’m going to have you arrested,” said the driver. “You may do that,” Rosa Parks responded. Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them “why do you all push us around?” The police officer replied and said “I don’t know, but the law is the law and you’re under arrest.

That's some A- work, right there.

(Slate tries to excuse the paper saying that the student did more than just this paper to get the A- ... this paper was the final exam for the class, not the entire class. Okay ... and ... ?)

Darn, that must have been a 93, just below a full A. The command of the English language, along with its factual content, makes you wonder why it wasn't graded as an A.
