WHAT IS THE MEANING OF SUCCESS FROM THIS BOOK AND WHAT DOES SUCCESS MEAN TO WE?
The meaning of success in this book is getting your voice heard, Rosa Parks was an example of that. She let people hear her voice after she got arrested. She represented all the black women. All girls today, look up to her. She gave them a voice to follow and an inspiration to get what you think is right done. We think success is living another moment, getting up in the morning again, and being able to look back at memories, looking back and being proud of what you have accomplished in life. The best success is being happy, not everyone gets to be happy or get their voice heard.

INTERESTING ARTICLE Saudi Arabia's Rosa Parks: “The contrast between this dynamic space for open protest and Saudi Arabia could hardly be starker. Saudi women find themselves living in a petrified system. Faces of the royal family are seen everywhere; the faces of women are shrouded, forcibly hidden.” Link: http:// articles.philly.com/2011-0617/ news/29670348_1_saudiwomen-religious-policesaudi-arabia
Feb 4 1913 Rosa Parks is born
A SECTION OF YOUR BIAS ARTICLE AND HOW IT IS BIAS “The seat Parks eventually found was in the middle section of the bus, because the back was filled. A few stops further down the line, a white man got on and demanded a seat. The driver ordered Parks and three other black patrons to move. Parks recognized the driver as one who had evicted her from a bus 12 years before when she refused to reenter through the back door after paying her fare. The other riders did as they were told, but Parks refused to give up her place. The driver threatened to call the police. Parks said, “Go ahead and call them.” She was taken to police headquarters but was released on bail later that night.” This article is bias because its an opinion written by a person. It has facts and includes opinions about Rosa written by this teenager.’ Link: http://www.teenink.com/opinion/ social_issues_civics/article/485705/Rosa-Parks-AConscience-Essay/
