WOW great job Lexi! This post is really interesting its like i know everything about Harper Lee now. The way you wrote this out and showed all of her information was just right. Its not to little and not to much. If I was going to learn about her it would definitely be from your post. Its so sad that her mom cant live in the same house. ugabugada
ReplyDeleteGreat job Lexi! I did not know that she was still living in her original home town, Monroeville, Alabama. I had no idea that To Kill a Mockingbird won Pulitzer Prize. When I was researching her, I also found that she stared writing a second book but never published it, and that she was good friends with another writer name Truman Capote.
