Question

This was written by a sixth grader and is the intro paragraph to a literary analysis on symbolism in the book. Grammar and content suggestions are welcome.
Christopher Paul Curtis, author of The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963, uses both conventional and non-conventional symbolism to show the hatred and prejudices against African Americans at the time of the Civil Rights Movement. As Kenny Watson uses non-conventional symbolism to portray his fears and thoughts, a white supremacy group uses conventional symbolism to convey their hatred for races other than their own- leading up to the church bombing Kenny’s younger sister, Joetta, narrowly escapes, leading up to yet another case of non-conventional symbolism. The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis relies heavily on symbolism to explain the devastating events of that time.

It has to be in third person.

Answer 1

Well, I think your sixth grader writes above his/her level. However, I do have a suggestion:

“The Watsons Go to Birmingham -1963” by Christopher Paul Curtis relies heavily on symbolism to explain the devastating events of during the Civil Rights Movement. Mr. Curtis uses both conventional and non-conventional symbolism to show the hatred and prejudices shown toward African Americans. As Kenny Watson uses non-conventional symbolism to portray his fears and thoughts, a white supremacy group uses conventional symbolism to convey their hatred for races other than their own, leading up to the church bombing. Kenny’s younger sister, Joetta, narrowly escapes, showing us another example of non-conventional symbolism.
