To Kill a Mockingbird

[irock708]

Ah, one of the greatest American classics of all time. I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love this book. Hopefully, you all know the story. Ah. It's so... great. When I was reading it, I couldn't help but smile because I can relate so much to Scout.

This book is so amazing! I read it a while ago, but it was so unlike any book I had ever read. It definitely made a statement.  

[irock708]

It is so great. I really feel bad that I didn't buy a copy when I had to read it for school. Now, I just wanna reread it because it's so nice...  

[penandpaper67]

I think I actually have two copies... I had to read it for school and I have writing in every spare inch of the book.  

[irock708]

Oh wow ahaha. I didn't need to take notes because I liked it so much. I had to write an essay for it and I got the highest grade. 97 out of 100. That's how much I like it XD  

[penandpaper67]

I had the notes because we had an essay test in which we needed to use quotes and evidence from the book. I did really well on it, too. xd  

[irock708]

My essay was at-home, so... yeah.

I read it at school, and everyone loved it. And we had to watch the movie after, and it was horrible! It was missing more than half the book!  

[irock708]

Oh, yeah. I saw about half of the movie and it was... eh. xD

I'd love to see it redone, though :3

I actually loved both the book and the movie, I saw the movie first, but the book was far better. My dad, growing up, though, read the book first, and he loved the movie too, so really I don't think it makes a difference. Gregory Peck was awesome as Atticus, and both the kids were very good too! But I loved the book! I thought it was so funny how they made snowmen-- of course I'm from New England so I've never had a shortage of snow from which to make a snowman in the winter...  

[irock708]

I just love how it's so... universal. I mean, when I was reading it, I couldn't help but think "God, I remember those days" and I was only fifteen when I first read it. I'm sure that that's the feeling that a lot of people get reading the book... How great and innocent we really were when we were younger...

I was always scared to read this book since I thought they were going to be killing birds in it. sweatdrop I've been putting off reading it because I thought we might have to read it for English but we never did. crying I guess I'll just have to use my own time to read it.  

[irock708]

Haha! The book's not about killing actual birds... Not, really. It IS rather symbolic to the book, though. You'll learn as you read it later on : )  

[Kitty Pryde5]

Personally, I didn't really like the movie. I wish they would redo it and make it better.  

[Kitty Pryde5]

Maybe they will make another movie soon.
