The article is about life in a small town, the people, the activities, getting around and a song about life in the south. I think Lea likes her life in Guntersville. She says the people there are friendly and there 's a lot to do . She enjoys the quiet life in Guntersville and outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, summer fires / barbecues with friends, watching the stars camping. She says she is happy small-town girl.

a) When the white settlers arrives, they needed land for their farms. So the US government said that all Native Americans (in the south-west) had to leave their land (=green tribal territory on the map) and go west. They were moved to reservations in Oklahoma. (The journey is called the Trail of tears because it was a long and terrible journey for the Indians. they didn't want to leave their homes, but they were forced to go. It was winter and they had to walk. They didn't have warm clothes or shoes and they didn't have enough to eat, so thousands to them got ill or died on the journey. The land in Oklahoma wasn't as good as their old land.)

b) I thiink Rosa Parks was a hero because she started the Civil Rights Movement. Because of her, segregation on buses was ended. She was brave enough to do something against the law, even though she knew that she would get into trouble. Today black and white people have the same rights.
