I liked how in the movie when Miriam drives by the carpool lot and is asking Odessa about it and Odessa explains how the carpool works. When Miriam says she wants to help because it is just about busing and Odessa explains that it is about more than just busing. She asks Miriam how will she feel when blacks are teaching in white schools or living in her neighborhood and tells her if she crosses that line she can't go back. The movie then cuts away to the next day. I think this helps give the sense that maybe whites who were helping didn't necessarily understand what they were becoming involved in and then when they did find out and what it would truly mean for them, they had doubts about it. - Christine W. | I liked how in the movie when Miriam drives by the carpool lot and is asking Odessa about it and Odessa explains how the carpool works.

| + | In response to Bryan's question about the narrator, although it kind of bothered me too I feel like it was a definite choice made by the filmmakers. Kellye touched on it best when she mentioned how it relayed the confusion of the time; kids were being raised into these types of households. They didn't really understand what was going on and to be a young girl especially in the situation she was in, must have been difficult. But I can definitely see the need to make the black family more central than they seemed to be. The storyline seemed to focus almost more around Miriam than Odessa to me. -Kelly Wuyscik | ||
