Part 1
Meanwhile, Wash had arrived at Kelly Ingram Park to watch. “[W]e saw those people willingly turn themselves over to the police . . . ,” he said. His reaction: “Wow, they must be crazy.” Experience had taught Wash that “the police was vicious murderers.” He knew how much pain they could inflict on young black bodies – as Arnetta discovered the next day.

part 2
Arnetta didn’t go to the mass meeting that night. She was disappointed she hadn’t been arrested. Somehow, she had gotten separated from the rest of the Peace Ponies, many of whom did get arrested and jailed. Instead, she went home and talked with her parents about the excitement of marching. They repeated their advice: “You’ve done your part. You need to leave this alone.”

Write five to six sentences that describe how Arnetta and Wash experienced the same event in different ways.

Although both Arnetta and Wash wanted segregation to end in Birmingham, they both responded differently to the march. Wash did not participate. He watched from the sidelines, amazed that the marchers would allow themselves to be arrested. Arnetta did join the march. However, unlike Wash, she was disappointed that she had not been arrested.
