County And City City School Schools

Walking down the hall I get a sense of disbelief.
Is this really me and am I really here or is it a
dream. I just transferred to a new school. Though

(Hancock High) was a small, all white, and in the
county. Though the school (Patterson) I just
entered is densely populated, majority black, and
right in the middle of Baltimore city. Though both

Jem And Scout Members Of Society
1,601 words
Certain uncanny resemblances between Tom Robinson
and Boo Radley's lives exist in Harper Lee's To
Kill A Mockingbird. Often large groups of people
