Protagonist & Antagonist
The protagonist in my story is Rosa. She is the main character and also a hero.
She is a hero because she made a differents in the world. She stand up what she believed in. She didn't want people to not like each other by their color. She wanted everyone to be happy and like each other.
The antagonist in my story are the white people.
They don't want anything to do with the colored people. The white people were to selfish about the colored people. The white people were so mean, even the children. If colored people were in white people neighborhood the colored children will get pushed and get beat up.
Theme
The theme in my story is equality and standing up what you believe in. In the story Rosa believes in equality she didn't want people to pick on her because of her color she wanted to be judge on her personality not what kind of color she has. She also believes in standing up what you believe in. She didn't want different groups on the bus, that's why she sat on one of the whites seats. She didn't care if people were surprise or that they were mad at her. She only cared that she stand up what she believed in.

My Review
♥♥♥♥♥
I gave this book 5 hearts because it was a great book. When I got it I couldn't put it down.
It was really good! When I read this book I learned more about the 5os, 60s , and the 70s that I didn't even know. Also when I read this I learned more about how hard Rosa's life became hard for her. To know how she changed the world for us. That's amazing!!!!
I think the age range for this book is (10 and up)
When you read this you would want to learn more about Rosa Parks.
When I first read this nook I thought it was going to be like, she was a girl and when she grew up she got arrested. But no its not that. You get to learn a lot about where she lived, how she got married and more.
