Blues Ain’t No Mockin Bird

In “Blues Ain’t No Mockin Bird,” the narrator calls the two filmmakers “Smilin” and “Camera.” These nicknames capture the traits of each man and reveal that the narrator is perceptive and funny. Create a character and give him or her a nickname. Write a character sketch describing your character’s appearance, personality, and hobbies. Be sure that your sketch helps readers understand why the character’s nickname is effective.
