Rhyme must solve the mystery and predict where the killer will strike next...
Seeing the descriptions of race and history in the book reminded me of "To Kill a Mockingbird." Similarly, they both explore social injustice and the complexities of human nature. I once had similar confusion and confusion, but by reading these books, I began to understand and reflect. I hope that we can all be like the protagonist in the book and bravely pursue the truth.
After hundreds of years, the ancestors' love for freedom and love has finally left their descendants.
