TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD: PART ONE

Harper Lee's novel has been very discripting, which makes it easy to understand so far. The characters are kinda just like children of modern day but the kids in "To Kill a Mockingbird" also try to see things in the adults point of view; I liked how Lee made the characters seem "realistic". They all came to life and had their own personality; I beleive that's what made the part one of the novel good:)

Jean Louise or known as Scout, Jem, and Atticus are so far the main characters. Lee explains how Scout is seen as a "dirty girl" (Mrs. Dubose) and that how she is a "one of a kind girl" in her time period. People then only believed in women wearing dresses, cooking, and cleaning; that girls shouldn't be doing things that involve wearing jeans or like what Scout liked to wear, overalls. She was looked down upon from most peoples point of view, even her own blood:( She stands by what she beleives in and that's what gets her in trouble most of the time. Jem; he wants to be like his father, a gentlemen, but his pretectiveness for his family gets in his way of that. Atticus; he is a great father for his two kids and is a great role model for them too. Jem wants to be like his dad but i believe so far in the novel Scout resembels him more. His caring nature and loving heart shows how big of a person he is even when people try and bring him down.

Jem and Scout get into a lot of trouble throught the part one of "To Kill a Mockingbird". Some things they regret and others they learned and moved on from the event. Like I beleive Jem had a right to say somthing to Mrs. Dubose but i don't beleive he had a right to destroy her property :( not cool! His punishment was seen as a good deed though because it took Mrs. Dubose's mind off of her addiction to morphine, pain pills, and also Scout joined him a few times when she didn't have to go at all. I beleive that these kids will have a big part in the rest of this novel, but we'll have to see:) can't wait!!
