I've been reading the version Graded Readers of the biography of Martin Luther King Jr. by Alan C. Mclean.
It's a good book which shows a good background about what had happened with black people in the USA in the past century and what was the background that allowed Martin Luther King becoming in a voice for them.
In the first chapters, the author explains that Martin Luther King was a black minister from Alabama in the south of the USA who grew up in Georgia, Atlanta in the middle of all racism which existed in those times. For sure, it must have been a hard childhood.
Those experiences and events he lived were the engine which motivated him to fight against racist laws ahead in his life around all the south in the USA.
An event he lived in his childhood which is quite unfamiliar to me but caught my attention was that he had a friend in front of their house with whom used to play outside. One day the friend's mother decided to separate them and never more allowed him to play with Martin.
That was something which hurt a lot in the heart of Martin and in my heart as well while I was reading the book. I can remember very well when he asked his mother why the mother of his friend didn't allow to play with him.
I'm still reading the book, and I'm enjoying to read it. Withouth doubt is a good graded reader.
Martin Luther King Jr.
I've been reading the version Graded Readers version of the biography of Martin Luther King Jr. by Alan C. Mclean.
It's a good book which shows a good background about what had happened with black people in the USA in the past century and what was the background that allowed Martin Luther King to becoming ine a voice for them.
In the first chapters, the author explains that Martin Luther King was a black minister from Alabama in the sSouth of theern USA who grew up in Georgia, Atlanta in the middle of all the racism which existed in those times.
'the south of the USA' would be understood fine, but it's a bit long and awkward. Most people would say 'The Southern USA' or even 'the Southern US' in this context.
'all racism' = all racism that ever existed
'all the racism'= all the racism that existed in this time and place
For sureDefinitely, it must have been a hard childhood.
This isn't bad English but using 'for sure' in this way is very casual/conversational and isn't usually seen in formal writing.
Those experiences and events he lived through were the engine which motivated him to fight all his life against racist laws ahead in his life around allcross the sSouth in theern USA.
I wasn't sure if 'all his life' was exactly what you meant here. Sorry if I got that wrong.
An event he lived through in his childhood which iwas quite unfamiliar to me but caught my attention was that he had a friend in front of their house with whom used to play outside in front of his house.
By putting the sentence in the order it was in, it implies the friend lives in front if you the house. You can't say in English someone lives in front of your house (unless they're living in a tent in your front yard or something like that), usually you would say they live across the street.
One day the friend's mother decided to separate them and never moreagain allowed him to play with Martin.
'Never more' is a very old fashioned turn of phrase. Though you may also see it if people are trying to sound poetic.
That was something which hurt a lot in the heart of Martin and in my heart as well while I was reading the book.
I can remember very well when he asked his mother why the mother of his friend didn't allow him to play with him.
I'm still reading the book, and I'm enjoying to read it.
Withouth doubt this is a good gGraded rReader.

Overall this was very good. I was picky about your word usage but mostly you would be understood by native speakers. That book sounds very interesting!
