Julli [10]

An American Female Civil rights activist, Rosa Parks is known as the "Mother of the civil rights movement".

An American Female Civil rights activist, Rosa Parks is known as the "Mother of the civil rights movement".

This is because she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama.

From the paragraphs given:

a) Rosa Parks introduced herself as the lady who twelve years earlier had been put off a bus in 1943 by a tall, heavy, rough-skinned, mean-looking man.

b) The details she shares reveal that her character is that of a person who under normal circumstances would avoid trouble. Notice she said in the last sentence of paragraph 1, "I do know that most of the time if I saw him on a bus, I wouldn't get on it."

c) She used the word "tired' in relation to being fed up of giving in to the notion that colored people were second-class citizens.

d) The effect of the word tired in relation to giving in served as a form of Pathos. An appeal to the emotion of the reader to see the event from the angle of a lady tired of being mistreated.

e) Denotation of the word tired means to be physically enervated, weak, or lacking energy. Rosa made it clear that this was not necessarily the case or the reason why she refused to give-up her seat.

In a connotative sense, she meant that she was fed up of giving in to the notion that colored people were second-class citizens and being maltreated. According to her, the more "we gave in, the worse they treated us".

f) By stating that she had "resigned to the consequences of the situation" Rosa mean that she was ready for anything that happened thereafter. The section of the excerpt (paragraph 13) that demonstrates this attitude is the part where she has been kept under custody.

g) She states that she was thrown in a dark empty cell. The denotation of the phrase shows the kind of treatment she was subjected to. It is interesting to note that the cell was not well lit.

h) Yes, it may be said that Rosa Parks is a heroine. This is because she stood up against what was wrong, and it paved off, paving the way to the liberation of millions of colored people.

Starting with the Invasion of Sicily in July of 1943, and culminating in the June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion of Normandy, Allied forces took the fight to the Axis powers in many locations across Western Europe. The push into Italy began in Sicily, but soon made it to the Italian mainland, with landings in the south. The Italian government (having recently ousted Prime Minister Benito Mussolini) quickly signed an armistice with the Allies -- but German forces dug in and set up massive defensive lines across Italy, prepared to halt any armed push to the north. After several major offensives, the Allies broke through and captured Rome on June 4, 1944. Two days later on D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history took place. Nearly 200,000 Allied troops boarded 7,000 ships and more than 3,000 aircraft and headed toward Normandy. Some 156,000 troops landed on the French beaches , 24,000 by air and the rest by sea, where they met stiff resistance from well-defended German positions across 50 miles of French coastline. After several days of intense warfare, Allied troops gained tenuous holds on several beaches, and they were able to dig in with reinforcements and bombardment. By the end of June, Allies were in firm control of Normandy, and on August 25, Paris was liberated by the French Resistance with help from the French Forces of the Interior and the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. In September, the Allies launched another major invasion, Operation Market Garden, the largest airborne operation of its time, in which tens of thousands of troops descended on the Netherlands by parachute and glider. Though the landings were successful, troops on the ground were unable to take and hold their targets, including bridges across the Rhine River. Despite that setback, by late 1944, the Allies had successfully established a Western Front and were preparing to advance on Germany.
