Just finished part one of To Kill A Mockingbird, and made it a few chapters into part two. So far, nothing new is really sticking out for me from reading it for a second time. I'm connecting with a few parts of the book more because of personal experiences, but nothing new in terms of things I felt while reading it the first time. I'm remembering growing up being a major theme in this novel, and I'm seeing more and more of it with every chapter I read. Although Scout is getting into fights at school over kids making fun of her dad, I can see her growing as a person with more moral values. How is it that kids can sometimes see what grown ups can't? Scout realizes how bad it is to treat people differently because of the color of their skin, yet adults remain oblivious to the damage their doing. This also illustrates the innocence of childhood. So pure and filled with love, Scout is learning to respect others more.
This weekend we had some relatives over and we opened our pool. It's been super nice outside, so my sister and I have also started running more. We're planning to run a marathon at the end of the summer, so we better start training now.
