Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Children’s March.

Not long after that effort failed, Mr. Streeter tried to fight segregation again. The family often went to the movies on Sunday after church. "[M]y daddy decided that we weren't going to sit on the back of the bus that day. He got us and he sat us up in the front . . . ," Arnetta said, "The bus driver pulled over . . . and he told my father that either he [her father] was going to move back or he [the driver] was going to call the police . . . We were crying . . . All we knew was that the bus driver was going to call the police on our daddy."

An older black woman on the bus chastised Arnetta's father, saying, "You don't do anything like that when you have children with you." Once again, Mr. Streeter gave in to his children, to the driver, to the older woman, and to the city's segregation laws. He moved his family to the back of the bus.

Answer: to reveal the challenges of social activism

This is the most accurate answer. In this excerpt, the author does not describe a routine action. The event was an anomaly in the lives of African Americans. The author also does not talk about the actions of police forces, as the father gave in without the intervention of the police. Finally, the author does not actually describe the pride the author feels for her father. What the excerpt shows is the challenges of social activism, and the judgement that activists faced when trying to do the right thing.

A book on racism, youth and black history by Cynthia is known as We've Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham Children's March.  

The author uses a third-person narration in this excerpt to:

Option C. To reveal the challenges of social activism.

This narration can be explained as:

  • Cynthia does not explain routine actions and rather shows the miserable lives of African-Americans.

  • The actions of police and forces and not even the pride that the author feels about her father but the life struggles of an activist is what is depicted in the story.

  • She tells about the struggles an activist faces while doing something right and how difficult is for them to make any judgements.

Therefore option C best describes the narration.
