2) Long Walk Home Writing Assignment

At the end of the movie while standing with the women in the carpool parking lot Mary Catherine says,“It would be a long time before I knew what standing in that line meant to my mother and, as I grew older, to me.”

Imagine you are Mary Catherine. Ten years have lapsed since the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955. It is now 1965 and Mary Catherine is 16 years old. Write a letter to Odessa, explaining to Odessa what a difference it made to her life and to her mother’s life to stand with the women in the carpool parking lot.

For this assignment you will need to use your understanding of the film in order to predict how those events would have affected the lives of Miriam and Mary Catherine. Imagine both how the circumstances of their lives would be changed (family, home, activities) as well as how they would have changed as people (their attitudes, their beliefs or their feelings). Support your ideas by tying them to specific details from the film.

Your letter to Odessa must:

--Explain how Mary Catherine was affected

--Explain how Miriam was affected

--Use at least three details from the film

--Be written in paragraph form

--No grammatical errors
