Witness

The book Witness doesn't have one main character is has four. One farmer, two students, and one eighteen-year-old. Yes the characters change and grow through out the book. They learn that the KKK is bad and not right for their town. The internal conflict is everyone trying to get along and be happy. The external conflict is the KKK going around town threatening and hurting people.I haven't read any other book like this so I guess you could compare this book to any other book that takes place during this time. You could also compare this book to a book written about the civil rights movement.

Witness

The book Witness takes place in a small town in Vermont. Everyone is happy in the town until the Ku Klux Klan shows up. People in the town turn against each other, some like the KKK, some don't. One twelve-year-old African-American girl, Leanora Sutter and one six-year-old Jewish girl, Esther Hirsh are not safe. There's action, violence, happiness and romance in this memior. This book tells a story from many differant points of view, including a farmer, a clergyman, a town constable, and three students.
