My book was Simeon's story which is about the kidnapping and murder of emmet till. The beginning talks about how Simeon bet emmet and how they visited each other and got along. The next couple pages after that tells about how his wife pushed him to write this story about what he witnessed when he was younger. But the first chapter starts off with his life before he met Emmett. But a little bit into it he talks about how well he and emmet had gotten along so well, and how he looked at him as a brother. He talks about his family and he talks about the last minutes he recalled talking to emmet, he even talked about how heartbreaking it was when the people who murdered emmet were not found guilty.
I thought this book was very interesting and I love how it's structure is to focus on Simeon's life letting us know a little about him. The thing about this book is that I've never thought they made a whole book about the emmet till murder case. I have learned about the case but never had full detail, so I'm very glad I had picked this book. Even if I did learn a bit this book has given me so much more information.
