I didn’t really catch the main idea to the story “Blues Ain’t No Mocking Bird”, but I got the plot’s concept.

This review is going to be about “The…

Similarly, the memoir of famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass shows that it is even possible to restrict an individual's ability to read, and therefore…
