Who

You come and you go

You don't say anything

And when you do, everyone stops and stares

you don't care waht people think

because you're only

there for awhile

We stare and watch

Watch and stare

Until it's done

A big painting

We don't know why it's there

We just know who it's from

And who it's for

Watson’s Go To Birmingham- 1963 Essay

          The book I’m writing about is called The Watson’s Go To Birmingham. The theme that I’m following is “ How people can change”. In the book I think Byron the most. In the beginning of the book Byron is very mean and independent, doing things that he is not supposed to be doing, like getting his hair premed.

          Byron has many different sides to him. He has the caring and sensitive side, and then he has the mean and careless side.

          For example… when Kenny was stuck in the whirlpool, Byron comes out of nowhere and saves Kenny, while risking his own life. Also when Joetta’s church burns down he rushes there., with tears in his eyes.

          The other side of Byron is careless and mean. Some of the examples are… he getting his hair premed, he almost burning down the house with matches, and he being a bully.

          I think that towards the end of the book Byron changed. He was more interested in his family more then himself, and helping then out. He helped Kenny with advice about other bullies. He also softened up like when he accidentally killed the bird. Then started crying. He really softened up there.
