<p>Here is the essay I wrote for the March 07 SAT. I received an 11. To be honest, I thought it would receive a 12. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>Assignment: Is it more valuable for people to fit in than to be unique or different?</p>
<p>"Lady, I need that seat now," the white bus driver commanded. The place was a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama. The date was December 1, 1955. For a brief moment Rosa Parks looked at the bus driver and remained silent. What would she do? Would she obey the driver and fit in or would she dare to be unique and different? Which would be the most valuable course of action?</p>
<p>During Rosa Park's entire life, white society had demanded that she fit in, that she "know her place." Fitting in thus meant following the all pervasive rules of Jim Crow segregation. Fitting in meant drinking from colored water fountains, eating in colored sections of restaurants and sitting in the colored sets on a public bus. Fitting in thus meant obeying the bus driver and humbly taking another seat.</p>
<p>On that fateful day, Rosa was tired of fitting in. As all the passengers - both black and white - stared at her, Rosa made a momentous decision to be different to be unique. In a firm unwavering voice, Rosa gave a one word reply - "No." The bus driver and the other passengers did not applaud Rosa's act of defiance. Being unique and different can carry a painful price. The bus driver called the police and Rosa spent the next hours in jail.</p>
<p>Rosa's decision to be different, to say no, galvanized the Black community in Montgomery. Led by her young minister, the 26-year-old Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. the Black community supported Rosa by boycotting the Montgomery buses. The boycott worked. Within 15 months city officials changed the segregation rules on public buses.</p>
<p>Rosa Park's decision to be different helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement. For almost a century following the Civil War, Black Americans had chosen to fit in. Rosa Park's singular and courageous decision to be different demonstrates that it is far more valuable for people to be unique rather than to fit in. Without people willing to be different there can be no change. Someone must be willing to say, "No."</p>

There are many types of heroes in real life or in literature, but the most courageous type of all is the
one who is willing to stand up and say what they believe in even when everyone else lacks the courage
to do so. Many people are content to go through life following the crowd. They will themselves to
believe in ideas that society says is right, even when they know in their heart it is wrong. A hero is one
who is willing to give up his position in society in order to tell people what he believes is right.</p>
<p>The abolitionists, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and William Lloyd Garrison, were heroes in their own
time. Before the Civil War, people in all sections of the country thought that African Americans were
animals and treated them as such. During the reform period of the Jacksonian era William Lloyd
Garrison began to publish his abolitionist newspaper The Liberator. In this newspaper he demanded
that the African American slaves be set free immeadietly, without any compensation to their owners.
Because his view on slavery was against the common belief of the population he was not recieved well.
Throughout his life he was given multiple death threats and one of his abolitionist friends was killed.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist after Garrison’s time, but she was recieved in much of the
same way. After the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was released, she wrote the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
It was a story of a slave living in the South and the cruelity of his owner. The inhumaness of the owner
caused many southerners to ban the book in anger, but at the same time it brought the terrible act of
slavery to the light. Many northerners used this book as a weapon against the South’s peculiar
institution.</p>
<p>Rudyard Kipling once wrote in his poem “If,” which said that you will be a man if you can stand up and
say what you believe in when all men around you doubt you. Heroes must have the courage to risk
everyting they love to stand up for theirselves in the face of opposition. Both William Lloyd Garrison
and Harriet Beecher Stowe stood up against a society which had accepted slavery as a right. They
believed that what their heart told them was right and risked everything to tell the public what they
believed in. These two people have hopefully shown others to believe in themselves and what they
view in their hearts.
