I have decided to read the book To
Kill A Mocking Bird. Why I have selected this book is because first this book
is a famous book and many people have said how amazing it is so want to read it. Second my mum had seen the
movie so she thought it would be good to read a classic book. So I have chosen
my mum to be my partner because first she loves to read many books, second I
know that she has the time to read with me. What my mum said about reading was
that she likes how books give her a new way on seeing things. So she learns
more about history etc.
I am reading the book To Kill A
Mocking Bird. The story is set in 1930’s during the great depression in The old
town of May comb, Alabama. Scout a 8 year old girl is the protagonist of the
story. Jem is her 12 year old brother and is not only a brother to Scout but at
the same time a best friend. Atticus is their father and is a lawyer. Their
mother had died many years though. Calpruna is their black maid who will often
help and care for them a lot. In the first chapter they meet a new character
called Dill who soon becomes their friend. Jem and Scout tell Dill the stories
of the people down the block, about Boo Radley the Radley’s son. Apparently Boo
Radley still lives in the house but has next came out.
Dill dares Jem to go touch the house,
at first Jem hesitates but Dill starts to call him a chicken so Jem races to the
house and slaps the wall and runs back panting. All of them wait for something
to happen, but Scout notices something, “The old house was the same, droopy and
sick, but as we stared down the street we thought we saw an inside shutter move.
Flick. A tiny, almost invisible movement, and the house was still."
I really am enjoying this book, I recommend
this book to anyone who wants to read a classic book that at the same time is
set in the time of the great depression and there is a relationship between
blacks and whites. So read the book To Kill A Mocking Bird.

ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really interesting! The topic, I mean differences between white and black people, and how they should have equal rights, is also really important. I didn't know there was a movie, either.
