The book has mysteries within it. Like Boo Radley. The awful stories are just the beginning. Then things appear in the tree for the kids. Boo is a mystery that I am not completely sure if he is someone completely harmless or someone who the kids might still need to watch out for. Then there is Atticus. He is very wise and is a great father. I have always wondered why they never refer to him as "dad." I do not know if that is symblolic or if in that time they just never said dad. But I enjoy the book so far and am looking forward to part 2.

To Kill a Mockingbird
This book is one of the most interesting books I have read so far. I have just finished part 1 and am very eager to start part 2. I think the characters really make the story what it is. Starting off with Scout. She is quiet the opposite of me. She gets dirty, hits people, and talks weird. Her character is very likable because she is crazy and fun, so you can't help but to like her. Then there is Jem. He is the typical loving older brother. They have a relationship that you wouldn't expect from kids that are 4 years apart. Jem never turns a dare down. He is always trying to prove that he is someone worth sticking around for.

I agree with you. it is strange that Atticus it Atticus and not dad. But I have to ask, do you think that the other Radley (the normal one) knows about the things that kids were doing. Did he know that they disturbed his house and that they were taking those things from the tree. I think we know that Arthur(Boo) is kind, but the other Radley is the one I think we have to watch out for. It is true, the characters make the story, but it is always those mysterious characters that end up surprising you. Can't wait for part 2 either!!!

I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI picture myself as being more like Scout in the sense that she gets dirty and such. I am also curious as to what the second part of the book will bring as far as the mysteries within. I am excited, and I think the book gets better as it goes on.
Also, kind of answering one of your questions - I think Boo is a kid that the other children should not be afraid of - I think he is just the odd ball from everyone else.
I'm pretty cool, so I'm going to start my response up with this, rather than with 'I agree with you'. Although, I do agree with you. They're great points. I definitely like Scout the most because of the fact that she's so different than me. I like to have fun and get dirty. But I LOVE to put on dresses and be a girl. She keeps me on the edge of my seat. I enjoy it.
