    felt. In “How a Southern Town Broke a Heart”‚ Woodson introduces change as a central idea of the story.

The issue I had with the article was the lack of detail in various parts of the story. For example‚ while Simons goes into extensive detail about Avery’s personality and actions to get into Auschwitz‚ he glosses over other parts‚ like the information that Avery received in the camp. Only a couple short paragraphs
