The Watsons go to Birmingham
In chapter 1 of The Watsons Go to Birmingham, we learned about a family of five who live in Flint,Michigan in the middle of a very cold winter. The characters are Mom, Dad, Joetta, Byron and Kenny who is the main character. One of the conflicts is it’s very cold and the heat doesn’t work in the house. Mom doesnt like living in Michigan because it’s too cold. Since the heat isn’t working, they called their aunt and asked if they could spend the night at her house because her house was always warm. Then their aunt said yes, so Dad send Byron and Kenny to scrape the ice off the car. Byron goes outside with Kenny and Byron doesn’t want to do his side of the car. Kenny told Byron that this time he is not scraping Byron’s side of the car. Byron was distracted by his reflection and started kissing the mirror. When he kissed the mirror, his lips got stuck to the mirror. Kenny went to get help for Byron. It took a while to get his lips off the mirror. Then, Mom pulled him from the mirror. Then the family left to go to their aunts house
One thing I learned about their family was that they don’t really get along. My favorite part about the story is when Byron’s lip gets stuck to the cars mirror.That is what happens in chapter 1.
I like how you added a lot of details but in one part you forgot to add a , but instead of that it’s good.
Miryam,
I love the way you said everything. You didn’t say the bits here and there. And you should of gave some reasons why your favorite part is your favorite part.
In the sentence “Then their aunt said yes, so Dad send Byron and Kenny to scrape the ice off the car.”, the word send should be changed into sent. Other then that, I think your summery was really good.
Miryam,
I liked the way you said everything, but there was a few speeling grammar errors. Maybe be a little more discriptive and it will be very nice.
