The Watsons Go to Brirmingham

In chapter 1 of The Watsons Go to Birmingham, we learned about the Watson family who lives in Flint, Michigan during a very cold winter. The characters in the story are Mom, Dad, Joetta, Byron and Kenny who is the narrator. One of the conflict  is that there house is very cold because there is no heat and that leads to a fight with  Mom and Dad because Mom wanted to move to the south where its warmer. One of the problems is they had no heat and they called  there “Mean Aunt” to ask if they can stay there because she had a warm house and they don’t. Next, Dad asked them to scrape the ice off the car window so they can go to there aunts. Then, Byron kissed the mirror and got his lips stuck. So, Mom came out panicking and dad came out trying not to laugh. So they tried to put hot water on his lips and it made it worse. Then they had to rip it off and Byron ran inside and Momma ran after and she put vaseline on his lips.

  1. I really like your paragraph i like how you put the conflict that was happening and the heat where it leads to a fight ~ Hennessy

  2. I really liked the way you summarized the book so far and how you included how the father was laughing because Byron’s lips got stuck. Maybe check some of your spelling before posting, but overall it’s really good.
