Think About It!

 If you could choose one of Ruby's character traits for yourself, what would you choose and why?

I would choose bravery. I would choose it because I would be brave and never turn my back on my strength. I would still go on and on.

Bravery, honesty, and kindness are the best traits that you could have. She was brave, she was good and had kindness.

I would choose her bravery because being brave is good! Very very good, so good that bravery is one of the best personalities.

I would choose bravery cause I am not so brave sometimes.

Kind because she's kind to all people not just black people but white people too. She likes all people so that's why I think she's kind.

I would choose friendly because if you are friendly others would be friendly back.

I would choose bravery and courage. So I could stand up to my bullies.

I would choose to be clever because I could be better at math, science,social studies, other subjects.

I would choose to be brave and clever because she is clever and brave.

Powerful because I like that word and because she is powerful.

Their are lots of things to be such as witty. I think I need to be a lot more witty. My sister always makes better come-backs then me.

I would choose bravery, got to be brave.

If you were Ruby, would you have continued to go to school or would you have stayed home where you were safe?

I would have stayed all year so my bravery will shine. I would never give up or let go of my bravery. I would keep going on and on.

Yes, I want a better education and I want integration not segregation

No, I wouldn't go to school. It's too risky to go to school. I could die by the angry angry mob.

I would quit because I would be scared and I wouldn't feel safe. When the people in the mob think I gave up they will go away. Then I will go to school.

Stay-home some days and go to school the other days. If it was really dangerous I would stay home.

I would go to school some days and stay at home the other days because people don't want me there.

I would do my best to get the best percentage and/or grades. This would prove that there is nothing bad about black people.

I would go to school because I want a good education.

I would stay home where it was safe because of the big mob.

I would stay home because I would not want to die.

I would stay home because my parents would not let me move out of the state and start a brand new life.

I would stay home to be safe!

If there was a child who was different from everyone else and wasn't allowed in our school, would you do anything to help him/her? Why or why not?

Yes, I would because I would say "no!" That's not fair! I want her/him to come in, it's just that their different and that's nothing. I would say "get that kid in here."

Yes, I would because it would eb nice to help him/her. Then they would be very thankful that there child got a good education.

Yes, I would help them by saying,"integrate, integrate!" I would also help by making sings to help all children be mixed.

I would help him/her! I would help them because I would know how scared they would feel and I would feel sorry for them.

I would not treat her differently because she is a human being and everybody gets to be treated the same. I would want to be friends with her. 

I would choose to help them because they could need new friends and I would be one of them.They could need a better education too.

I would help them by standing up to whoever bullied them. I would do this because nobody deserves to be treated like garbage.

I would help because everyone has equal rights and I would persuade the director to let them come in.

I would help them by saying stop!!!!!

No, because my mom and dad won't let me!


I would fight and call my parents, they would probably end it! After that I would ask the girl/boy to be my friend.

I would him/her because they need an education.
