The Watsons go to Birmingham


The Watsons go to Birmingham is a very significant book because it shows the hate between African-Americans and Caucasians. The author's perspective was from a 10 year old's point of view. I am not very sure what the argument is because it isn't clear in the book. The connection from the book to the real world is that there were real events that actually happened in the book.

But, before a disaster strikes, they move the elderly and newborn babies to an underground city, called "Ember"
