My opinion has completely changed

From the day I found out we had to read this book I was not looking forward to the 376 pages that awaited me. Now, After I have read the whole book, I wish I could take back the judgements I made prior to this book. I never expected it to get so interesting. I found the book to be very intriguing and surprising. I found it strange that there was so much vulgar language and racism, as I do not come upon a book that shares the same diction and style. I often thought about how weird it must be growing up as Scout. Especially because of all the commotion in result of Atticus defending Tom Robinson. She must have been confused as to why her dad was friends with African Americans, but elders around the community were highly against it. Overall, this has to be one of the greatest books I've ever read. My dad kept saying, "They don't call it a classic for nothing!". Unfortunately, this is yet another time where my dad is right, and I am wrong. In this case, I am perfectly fine with being wrong, because this book was outstanding.
