JOHN
LENNON


I read about John Lennon because I like The Beatles and their music and I wanted to read about one of the members of the band. I chose John because besides writing and singing music he did things for peace like bed ins. Also because John wrote some really good songs like “ I Am The Walrus “ “Help” and “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.” I think John is an amazing songwriter and singer and that’s why I chose to read about him.

John Lennon had many obstacles in his life he had to overcome. John Lost many people in his life he first lost his Father when his Father and his Mom had an argument on who john wanted to live with because his father was a sailor and was never home. John Of course chose his mom. After the fight Johns mom took him to live with his Aunt Mimi and not her. Later John lost his uncle his male role model, the person that gave John his first instrument-the harmonica. Later His mother came back into his life but she got killed when a speeding car hit her. John Lost many people in his life but he fought it and became a great musician.

Some reasons why John Lennon should be read about are. John was an amazing musician and a member of one of the most well known bands that is still popular today. Also he fought for peace and things that are right. John was an amazing person and its to bad that he does not live today writing music.
