- What is the poem about?
The poem ‘Bridges of Birmingham’ is about the death of the children of the church bombing in Alabama, 1963.
- ‘She combed and brushed her night-dark hair.’
- The words and phrases which make me realise the young girl was sweet/innocent/kind were:
‘Mother dear, may I go downtown instead of out to play’ because the fact she calls her mother ‘dear’ means she must be very close to her.
