Question

Reread paragraphs 11 and 12. Based on your evaluation of the text details in these paragraphs, what conclusion can you draw about Bessie Coleman’s personality? Fill out a chart like this one to support your conclusion.


Text Evidence

My Experience

Conclusion

Answer 1

I don’t have the book passage here. Could you paste paragraphs 11 and 12 (or summarize them)? That will let me pull exact text evidence.

While you paste them, here’s an example chart you can use — filled in with likely evidence about Bessie Coleman (you can adjust once you share the actual paragraphs):

Text Evidence
- “No American flight school would accept her because she was a Black woman, so she went to France to learn to fly.”
- “She saved money working as a manicurist and learned French so she could study in Paris.”
- “She performed daring stunts in airshows and inspired large crowds.”

My Experience
- I once had to look for opportunities elsewhere when doors were closed to me; moving to a new place helped me reach my goal.
- I’ve worked extra jobs and learned new skills to pay for something important to me.
- I admire people who take risks to do what they love and who share their success with others.

Conclusion
- Bessie Coleman was determined and resourceful: she refused to accept discrimination and took practical steps (learning French, saving money) to achieve her dream.
- She was courageous and adventurous, willing to travel abroad and perform dangerous stunts to become a pilot and inspire others.
- Overall, her personality combined perseverance, independence, and a desire to break barriers.

If you paste the exact paragraphs, I’ll replace the example text evidence with quotes from paragraphs 11–12 and tailor the “My Experience” and “Conclusion” to match precisely.
