How does paragraph 4 contribute to the overall structure of the text?
paragraph 4:
Remember how it is here? The black people have to sit in the back of the bus, and the white folks get to
sit up front. If the bus gets full, the black people have to give up their seats to the whites. It’s the law.
You’re lucky that in Detroit, you can sit anywhere you like on the bus. That must be nice. Here’s why
we’re having the boycott: Last week, a black woman here named Rosa Parks was riding the bus. She
was on her way home from work. When the bus got full, the driver told her to get up and give a white
person her seat. She refused! So the police came and arrested her. They took her to jail! Can you
believe it? Mrs. Parks said she was tired of giving in to white people. So now, all 50,000 black people in
Montgomery aren’t going to ride the bus at all until things change. The bus company sure is going to
lose a lot of money!
