I knew that Harper Lee was a tomboy growing up and that Truman Persons was a sissy. But I found that she helped him find research for his book "Cold Blood". I didn't know that her friend truman lived with his moms family because he was abandoned by his parents.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that She only had one brother and two sisters. That boy must have been tortured by the girls. I did not know that Truman got picked on for wearing fancy clothes. Why can't a boy look good? I also found that she went to law school for college, but then dropped out to move to New York to accomplish her dream of becoming a writer. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that Harper's mother suffered from a mental illness, and that she had to deal with that growing up being a child. i didn't know she had a friend who was picked on and she had to act as his defender.overall i liked the way you wrote this, well written.
