Rosa

1 Could she really stay here—and talk to Rosa all day—and listen to the guitar—and eat fish from a can?

2 Small, brown ones struggled through the sawdust; and big, leathery bombers zoomed through the air and made Rosa scream.

3 Rosa had lived there, too, when she was younger.

4 I thank Rosa and her mom for having me, then head home in the cool night air.

5 His apparent indifference drove Rosa into a rage.

6 Maria jumped off the bed and gathered up the newspapers Rosa had spread out on the floor.

7 “Let’s open it up, son. I want to see Rosa,” I told Jaime.

8 Rosa was annoyed about the whole thing.

萝莎对这件事感到烦恼.

9 Rosa was hard to get to know, but her mom was just the opposite—warm and talkative and funny.

10 When I heard on the news that it was Rosa Parks, I had several feelings: I was glad an adult had finally stood up to the system, but I felt left out.

11 More than half a century has passed, but I can still remember the exact moment when Rosa the Beautiful entered my life like a distracted angel who stole my soul as she went by.

12 She smiles, first at me, then at Rosa.

13 Rosa sighed and fiddled with her long painted nails.

14 “I feel like I know you from the paper and the news”—she eyes her daughter—“and of course Rosa has told me all about you.”

15 “And for your information, the Human Rights Club is studying civil disobedience. Like Rosa Parks. The wrappers are just a side project.”

16 It was so bright and cheerful, it raised his spirits in spite of Rosa’s dire threats.

17 An old memory surfaced of the doctor telling Rosa that clones went to pieces when they got older.

18 He remembered Nivea, Rosa’s mother, who, after her husband had retired from politics, terrified by the poisoned brandy, had begun her own political campaign.

19 I do remember to call my mom, and as I’m getting ready to hang up, Rosa’s mom says she’d really like to say hello to her.

20 “He has a girlfriend, Rosa. A really pretty one.”
