To Kill A Mockingbird (Pages 1-43)


I'm taking a break from Catcher In the Rye to read a book that we read last year that I liked alot called To Kill A Mockingbird. I remember this being the first book that I actually got into, well at least out of all the books we've read for school. Not sure whether it's the suspense, or the morals in it, but something about it has stuck with me since last year. Enough for me to want to read it more in depth. Hopefully the book is even better a second time around. Mr. Radley also reminds me of someone very close to me.
He reminds me of my next door neighbor who recently died from a stroke. He was always very kind to everyone, and although a little more outgoing than Boo Radley, he had the same humble atmosphere about him. I have mowed their lawn every summer for the last seven years, and still do it even though he's gone. Maybe he's the reason this book has left such an impression on me. He was everything I hope to be when I get older, he was an overall cool guy.
