Final Reflection

I really enjoyed reading "To Kill a Mockingbird." I thought it did a great job of capturing the time period and the prejudices people faced. Scout was probably my favorite character. I thought a lot of the things she said and did were funny and she was definitely wise beyond her years. I found that all the kids in the story - Dill, Jem, Scout - were the voices of reason. I also found Atticus to be a very likeable character. Regardless of what others thought, I thought he was a great father. I think he taught Jem and Scout life lessons that will make them better people. He was an honorable man for doing his best to try and defend Tom Robinson. Overall I thought it was an interesting story that kept my attention plus made me think about the serious subject of racism.
