Mockingbird

The Mississippi state bird are the mockingbird. Since I can first remember we was taught it were a sin and against the law to kill a mockingbird. My grandma told me mockingbirds don't never hurt other creatures; all they do is sing for our pleasure. I ain't read near 'bout as many books as Hollis, but I did read a book called To Kill a Mockingbird what was wrote by this woman named Harper Lee. Ms. Lee didn't have nothing to do with Harper, the town were I lives. Her book is real powerful and shows how years ago, when it were still a sin to kill a mockingbird, it were alright with some peoples to kill peoples of other races. We is doing better down here now, but a few peoples is still a little backward on this; not so much for killing but for treating peoples bad. There was a movie made 'bout this book. I've seen it more than a dozen times.
