project

The small town in Georgia lay silent, engulfed in an intricate web of secrets and suppressed dreams. A place where the heart yearned for companionship and understanding, much like John Singer, the deaf-mute central figure in Carson McCullers' 'The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter'.

It was the middle of autumn and Ramona Quimby, age 8, was feeling restless. She was used to her usual adventures, but these days, school and homework took most of her time. She missed the moments of spontaneity and freedom. One day, while rummaging through the attic, she stumbled upon an old photo album. It contained pictures of her parents, Aunt Bea, and of her when she was just a toddler. An idea sparked in her mind. She decided to make her family history project for school.
