You wonder why they call us the Weird Watsons s The Watson family is different. s Byron does the complete opposite of what he is told until they go to Birmingham s Joetta is almost too religious for her age s Kenny has a lazy eye and when he was depressed he hid behind a couch s Momma has a weird space between her two front teeth and talks southern style when she gets mad. s Daddy goes around joking about the south in the weirdest ways

The time s In the time period 1963 a lot of things happen like the church bombing in Birmingham. It killed 4 girls and almost Joetta. The four girls the were killed names are Addie Mae Collins, Denise Mc. Nair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley.

The Clothes s Bright colors for girls and fancy buster browns s For boys a least a nice sweater and tennis shoes if you don’t own buster browns.

News In 1963 s President Kennedy was assassinated s March on Washington Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. presented his famous “I Have A Dream. ” speech. s Great Train Robbery s 16 th street baptist church bombed on September 15, 1963

Conclusion s It was a very important year 1963 was. s There were important civil rights movements and speeches. s The Watsons had a very exciting adventure and special moments in the book. But Joetta hasn’t sent her letter to Mrs. Davidson. Dear Mrs. Davidson,

Joey’s Letter s s Dear Mrs. Davidson, I had a lot of fun in Birmingham. There were a lot of unusual events. Like a church bombed I almost got killed. Luckily I got to hot and saw Kenny outside when he waved to me so I followed him. Four girls got killed though. One girl was named Addie Mae Collins she was 14 when she got killed in the bombing. Her birthday was April 18, 1949 even though she was 14 she was pretty young to die because a lot of people die in their 70’s and 80’s. Two of Addie’s hobbies were drawing ( She was a good one too. ) and playing ball. Another girl was named Denise Mc. Nair. She died when she was 11 when the church was bombed. Her birthday was November 17, 1951. Her hobbies were to host tea parties and to host an annual muscular dystrophy party. Another girl was named Cynthia Wesley. She died when she was 14. Her birthday was April 30, 1949. The things she liked to do were hosting parties and to play in a band. The last girl was named Carole Robertson. Her birthday was April 24, 1949. Her hobbies were to read and dance. She died when she was only 14. I am thanking the Alabama heat because if it was not there I would either be dead or be extremely hurt and die from the severe injury. So either way I would be D-E-A-D dead. I can not wait to see you again! Love, Joetta Watson
