Look around you. Does everyone look like you? Do you see people with different races? This is what I think that “If you don’t know me don’t judge me”. My character is Ruby Nell Bridges she was born in Tyler, Mississippi in 9-8-1954 she is still alive for real she is alive her age is 54. Her school was in New, Orleans Louisianan. She was the only black girl who went to a white school but she had 4 more girls who also went to a white school but my character had a lot to do she was bullied and she was treated wrong. That is not good because she wanted to be treated right because everyone is supposed to treat right because if you don’t treat everyone right you won’t be treated right because everyone is supposed to be treated equally. Ruby Bridges was really famous, helped kids, and she also helped people who need money like for example kids that didn’t have chortles. Ruby Bridges was there for those people hopefully someday I will become famous and help kids that need help because you need to treat people right not treat tem bad because they never did nothing to you I will love to help kids.
What was Ruby’s education?

Her big school was in New Orleans in William Frantz Elementary but it was just for kindergarten all the way to eighth grade in the United States Of America only let kindergarten all the way till sixed grade only in Elementary Schools but like in junior high school it was only three grade 7- till 9 grade I mean it’s great in Ruby’s school because you get to be in the same school all the time and you don’t leave your friends and you say “Man I still have you as a friend since kindergarten”. That great because I mean we are friends for a long time I wish I could have a friend like that for a long time because you will b...

She was the one who did this just some questions for you. Are they people around you with different races? Does everyone look like you? Don’t judge people if you don’t know them that’s mine only question for you because for you because you need to respect everyone because if you don’t you will have to walk maybe the whole entire recess because they is not supposed to happen.

  • Analysis Of Melba Patillo Beals 'Warriors Don' T Cry

    486 Words  | 1 Pages

    During the 1950s, African Americans struggled against racial segregation, trying to break down the race barrier. Fifteen year old Melba Patillo Beals was an ordinary girl, until she’s chosen with eight other students to integrate Central High in Little Rock, Arkansas. They are named the Little Rock and fight through the school year, while students and segregationists are threatening and harassing them. Warriors Don’t Cry—a memoir of Beals’ personal experience—should be taught in schools because it teaches students to treat each other equally and to be brave, while it also shows the struggle of being an African-American in the 1950s. Another lesson taught in the retelling is that everyone can make a change.

    My family and I moved to America where I went school at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia. I graduated in 1914, not long after getting married and having a beautiful daughter whom I named Carol. Nothing could have been better until I and my husband found out Carol was mentally retarded. She didn’t learn fast like any of the other kids and would act like a four-year-old at the age of six. It wasn't until then that I realized how much discrimination and racism, thrived in America. Carol was constantly judged and I ended up having to educate her in the safety of home. I became extremely tired and sleep deprived after a while. I always loved to write but I no longer could having to educate Carol while my husband was off teaching. So, I asked for enough money from the state to send her to a school for people like her. After, I went back to my home in China and began writing. While I was there I helped my mother who had become weak and ill and obtained a job teaching Chinese children. My love children expanded and I couldn't even conjure the idea of them ever being persecuted for looking different. Although I still loved children I took a break from teaching and wrote several books, a novel titled Wang Lung which described peasant life in china and The Good Earth which became so popular it won the Pulitzer

    Ruth Benedict’s anthropological book, Patterns of Culture explores the dualism of culture and personality. Benedict studies different cultures such as the Zuni tribe and the Dobu Indians. Each culture she finds is so different and distinctive in relation to the norm of our society. Each difference is what makes it unique. Benedict compares the likenesses of culture and individuality, “A culture, like an individual, is a more or less consistent pattern of thought or action” (46), but note, they are not the same by use of the word, “like.” Benedict is saying that figuratively, cultures are like personalities. Culture and individuality are intertwined and dependent upon each other for survival.

    In the history of women’s rights, and their leaders, few can compare with the determination and success of Lucy Stone. While many remember Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony for being the most active fighters for women’s rights, perhaps Stone is even more important. The major goal for women in this time period was gaining women’s suffrage. That is what many remember or associate with the convention at Seneca Falls.
