To Kill a Mockingbird's reflection


                 At first I have chosen this story because the title looks interesting to me and when I started reading it I found out that it was boring at first but then as the story continues to its rising action the story begins to really fun. This story taught me a lot. The project has helped me appreciate this story by giving me times to spend with it. If I just buy the story from a book store I would just be reading through it without really annotating it. This project has given me time to write a summary of the story and to create many posts which means that I have to really read through the story and really annotating it. While doing that I found out that reading a novel is not boring I can learn a lot from it and I really want to spend more time with it. This project may not be a very long time to work on but this short time is really worth reading a novel. I think I really enjoy doing this project because I really get to be with the novel that I have chosen. Like what I had say in the beginning if it’d be any novel that I’ve read, I would’ve just read through it by not really annotating it but this project has given me time to work on and to understand the novel more.

Jean Louise Finch or Scout Finch


                 The main character of the story “To kill a Mockingbird” is Jean Louise Finch or every call her as Scout Finch. Scout is a young girl and she lives with her father and her brother so she grew up to be a tomboy not a lady. Scout learned throughout the story, she watched other’s people acting as she grows up. Her father or Atticus Finch had been teaching her to put her feet on other’s people’s shoes. This means that she should watch people by their points of views not only by her point of views. From what her father taught her Scout learns this point by watching Arthur Radley or Boo Radley. Boo is a guy that kept himself in his home and every kid think that he is a bad guy but actually he is not. Scout scared him at the beginning of the story and towards the story Scout and her brother has experienced with Boo and finally at the end of the story, scout knows how to put her feet on other’s people’s shoes like Atticus taught her. Another thing which helps Scout grows in the story is her watching her father protects a colored guy in charge of raping a white girl. She learns that colored people never win white people and also her brother has been serious about the unfairness of this issue. Scout learns how to grow and know human’s goodness without ignoring human’s evil. Another thing which motives her to grow is she acting like a tomboy not a lady, because she has been staying with only her father and brother so she doesn’t know how to act like a lady. Her brother has always been telling her not to act like a lady but one day her brother has become good by growing up and learns not to kill a bug, it has a literal meaning which means that we don’t harm the ones who are weaker than us. Scout has been watching everyone around her as she grows through the story.
