=**The Watson's Go to Birmingham**= = = =**BY: Christopher Paul Curtis**=

= = =Hi my name is Kenny Watson. I live in Flint,Michigan with my mom and dad and my 5 siblings. I'm very skinny. I have black curly hair and brown eye's. I also have lazy eyeballs that i don't like to talk about. I go to Clark elementary in Flint,Michigan. I'M a very smart student,i also love to read books. All the teachers treated me differently and i thought i was cool but, I found out it made me enemies.= =I get bullied a lot but not as much as i would if it weren't for "by" or Byron. I am a very nice and peaceful boy. I try to do no harm at school or out of school. I don't have a lot of friends at school because they think i'm weird. Our neighbors like to call us the weird Watson's. My older brother byron is mean a lot of the time so I would like to tell you a story that happened a couple weeks ago, my older brother byron was cleaning the ice off of the mirror of the brown bomber and got his lips stuck on the mirror. I don't have really any friends but, on the way to school my dream came true someone like me came to the school. I was so excited i would have someone to hang out with.=

= = =Setting: The bo **ok "The Watson's Go to Birmingham" is a very cruel time because the color of kenny's skin is different than other, so Kenny get treated differently. It starts in Flint,Michigan where it is very cold outside where if you put your lips on a car they will freeze to there, unlike if you were in Texas your lips probably would have got burned. Then they moved to birmingham because it was cold there in Michigan. The nature of the setting is when they're in alabama the churches got bombed and one off the Watson's died. This wouldn't have happened if they were in Flint or if it was a different time period.** =

In 1963 there was a lot of conflict around were I lived. For example people didn't like me because the color of my skin. Where I live it is very racial and very non. It was very hard to live like this because people teased me just** **because of my skin color and they kept saying i was on welfare.**=
