2nd

This book is an enjoyable book to read i havent finished it but cant wait to see what happens at the end. Scout, Jem and Dill are so adventurous going to the Radley's house trying to find out what the Radley's do and look like.

There father Atticus is very understanding person he is one of my favorite characters in the book. He talks to his children in a clear understanding manor telling them whats wrong and right. Even when Jem and scout do something wrong Atticus doesn't get as mad as some parents do instead he tries to make them understand what they did wrong. For example on page 65 Jem and Scout wanted to give the Radley's a note through a small opening in a window when there father catches them and explains to them that it is wrong to do that and that it is a persons choice if they want to stay inside or outside. Atticus is one of the only people in the city of maycomb who is not racist and sees good in all people. Jem and scout were embarassed of there father during the begining of the book but later they realize there father is idolized.

In chapers 9 and 10 Jem and Scout encounter Arthur Radley without even noticing it. Arthur Radley doesn't seem like a harmful or scary person for example when Jem sneaks into Arthur's backyard his pants get stuck in some wires so he left his pants there than later on he goes back to get them when he notices his pants were laying there folded and the holes were patched up. Another example is when scout was out her house standing there when Arthur comes up to her and puts a blanket around her and she doesnt even notice it. From these interactions i dont think Arthur Radley or his family are unusual. They probably dont come out because they dont want to get into the rumors.

Hopefully as the story goes we will know more about the Radley's and they might come out of there house and tell us more about themselves. Maybe the Maycomb community could understand what Atticus sees in Tom Robinson and to ignore the skin color of a person.
