this book..

"Great, this books about Southerners and Negros. Obviously this book is about prejudice and racism.", said I after reading a couple of pages. I stopped reading and and went to my friend's house. I told her about my problem with the book and she gave me a funny look. She told me that the book's more than that. So i gave this book another shot.

How the book started off was pretty boring but the book had to explain how the characters are there somehow so it was alright. I kept reading and i felt as if i was bored but i had to keep reading because i was so interested. What kept me interested was the narrator's father Atticus Finch. He's interesting because even though he keeps a quiet profile, people knew him and he had secrets about himself. How he raises his children intrigued me as well because he is a single parent and he doesnt beat them at all. you would think that Southerners might be uncivilized but Atticus wasn't at all. Last thing i liked was how the narrator was Atticus' daughter Scout. She's an adventurous girl and i didn't know she was a girl until the classroom scene with her teacher. I was getting so confused so I had to go back and try to figure it out. I thought it was really cute how she wore overalls and fought people because she was so proud. I also thought how she cussed alot was really disturbing. I like her as the narrator because I would never think of what the other side of the story would be when it came to white folk versus black folk. I thuoght that typically you would see the Negro's thoughts so looking at what the other side of this battle was kind of refreshing and new to me. It also proves a point that there are white folk that arent prejudice and would defend a Negro. I hope my last thoughts made sense.

I actually can't wait how the second part of this story ends.

Final thought:I find the whole scene about Boo Radly irrelevant. I just found the whole thing really boring. What would really surprise me is if Boo Radly had to do something about Atticus Finch's case. Hah!
