To Kill a Mockingbird (= Paaart 2 !

So, I really haven't had the time to actually read, maybe a little every week or every now and then. But the good side of it is that, when I do get a chance to read, my reaction towards the text is that it brings me to another world. Somewhere where I wanted to be as a child but I never had the imagination to go. Hopefully most of you guys wish you can go back in time and enjoy your childhood!

The reason why I really do enjoy this novel is because a lot what is being said through the text makes me think about my own personal life. The father Atticus has something that I like and it reminds me of myself nowadays. What I'm trying to say is that he doesn't care for what others think about him but does what he knows he needs to do in order to continue his life. I learned that recently, not caring about what others say about me or even judge me by the car I drive to the clothes I wear, i still continue to press forward and enjoy life.

Also, he is quite a person who follows his own personal beliefs. As a citizen of Maycomb, you can see that most of the citizens hate African American people. Him on the other hand, he does not discriminate against them, nor does he judge them by their color. It makes me happy to know that there are still people like him in our world, who don't judge people by the color of their skin and get to know the person and creating a bond.

After noticing how dependent Atticus was, he became a leader to me because of the way he defended Tom Robinson because everyone else was accusing him of so many things. As far as I can see, Tom should be thankful Atticus has his back while no one else did, and judged him and found him guilty. This is as far as I have gotten in the story, hopefully I find out what happens to Tom with the massive reading I will start doing since my schedule is just about to clear up.
