To Kill a Mockingbird was one of the most meaningful books I have ever read. Many themes can be made through many parts of the book. If you had enough time, I would guess you could probably come up with a theme for each chapter easily.
To Kill a Mockingbird reminded me my about my childhood limits. I thought about how I would react if I was in Scout's shoes. We had similar experiences at school when I was her age. "It's best reading with a fresh mind. You tell him I'll take over from here and try to undo the damage-" I can relate to Scouts experience when she knew more things than other students, and when she didn't meant to be able to learn how to read. In my first grade class we had to write or names in the beginning of the year and compare how well we improved. Majority of my classmates didn't write very well at the beginning of the year, when we compared and contrast, I felt unimproved. I dressed tom-boyish and had other relatives that were over the top, miss dressy too shoes. My family teased me for wearing jean pants or shorts and a normal t-shirt. You would only see me in a dress once every three months to school. While I was reading this book, it reminded me a lot of my six to seven year old look.
During the course of the book, I don't get a direct understanding. I usually read the next section and the idea pops back into my head. I didn't notice how Jem or Scout acts "adult-like" in some events, only looking back in various sections. Harper Lee has nice smooth transitions which make the reader blend to the upcoming event instead of the writing choppy transitions.
The characters are the key, key part in making it interesting. The characters have different personalities that contrast with other characters which gives an exciting plot!
Bye Bye for now, see ya next week!
