This is a good blog about Harper Lee, you gave a lot of information about her early life and about her family. I also like how you wrote about her education life and how she went from one school to another then to New York to pursue her dream in writing. And I also like your blog design and background. GOOD JOB!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell Ju it is well written, but it seems like it is almost copied and pasted. I do like the pic, and it goes well with it. “After many things happened and she finally wrote the only book that she published Pulitzer Prize-winning” This sentience doesn't sound right, “ she finally wrote the only book that she published Pulitzer prize winning. you could have broke it into 2 sentences or at least put a semi colen.
ReplyDeleteThis post was very well written. It was very informative and the overall presentation of the information was great. I had a lot of the same information, altho i did not have a picture. it was a very good idea putting a picture into the blog post, because it made it look better. This was a great blog post and i look foward to reading your blog posts in the future.
ReplyDeleteWell your writing is good I think. I found similar things that you found. I found she went to all-female high school, University of Alabama, and Oxford University in England. Also I found she wrote To Kill A Mocking Bird and that book won Pulitzer Prize. But I didn't know she was editor of Rammer Jammer in Huntingdon College.
