The Movie

The movie is not that different than I thought it would be from the book. It has some parts that didn't even exist, but so far its ok. The one scene that has stuck out for me was where Scout yells at Walter Cunningham for pouring sryup all over his dinner. In this scene Walter comes over to Jem and Scout's house for dinner as a way to make up for Scout beating on him. Walter starts and cover his dinner in layers of sryup and Scout yells "what the heck are you doin?!". Atticus and Cal both get angry and Cal told Scout to let Walter eat his dinner how ever he wants to.

In the book this scene had nothing to do with killing a mockingbird. Atticus tells the kids that around Christmas time, not when Walter comes over. They used that time to talk about guns in the book. In the movie Atticus brings up why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird and they talk about guns. The book and the movie both showed how Calpurina calls Scout into the kitchen and yells at her for being rude to Walter. In the book and movie Scout also comes home in her dress that she had to wear to school that day.


WOOT WOOT $)

Atticus as a Father Part 2

Atticus has taught his children many life lessons through the duration of this book. He seems like a great father, because Scout and Jem are obvisously chill with his style of parenting and Scout is always on his lap or hugging him. "I willed myself to stay awake, but the rain was so soft and the room was so warm and his voice was so deep and his knee was so snug that I slept." Atticus reads and spends time with his kids, which is another great quality for a dad to have.

Life Impacted Part 2

Continuing on my blog on how this book impacted me..... ummmm.... This book has also shown me that there is always one or two people that are always outcasted. I don't just mean in Maycomb, but every where I can think of...especially at school. Boo Radley is definitly the town outcast! He never leaves his house, except when he saved the kids, he is very antisocial, and nobody will ever truly understand him. "...he has the right to stay inside free of inquisitive children." (49) Atticus is trying to sort of defend Boo by correcting his children.

I GOT TITLES CONFUSED LOL :)

Life Impacted Part 2

Continuing on my theme blog, racism is the biggest theme of the book I think. It seems like every person in this book has to deal with racism or is a racist. Calpurnia's church even had one lady who was being rude to Jem and Scout because they were white. White people are being racist, black people are being racist, there is racism around every corner in Maycomb. Personally, I would not be comfortabel living any where near that town.

Life Lessons Part 2

I needed the lesson to not judge people when I was littler. I could be a mean kid if I couldn't relate to someone's apperance or personal vibe. I have learned that lesson and I am a lot better kid! I accept anyone and treat them not different then I would my close friends. I hate when people judge people or don't accept them because they are different. Just like the people of Maycomb judge Tom based on his color or because he is different. Mr. Gilmer would say rude remarks like "What'd the nigger look like when you got through with him?" He would talk down to him constiently.

This book has impacted my life in a way..... It has actually shown me how racist people were and how bad they could treat any human being based on the color of their skin. This book has also shown me no matter how hard times may get, or how much pressure is on you to do the opppsite of what you believe in....some people can stay strong. Honestly if I was Atticus going through the time of Tom's trial I would have stuck it out..........If I believe something and people tell me thats its wrong I stick my opions...no matter the subject. I can be very difficult ;)





!GANG$TAR!

One of the most important life lessons that was taught in this book was directed to Jem and Scout, and was taught by Atticus. The lesson was not to judge someone until you walk around in their shoes. My parents also taught this lesson to me awhile back. I was taught not to judge someone on their race, upbringing, sexuality, or anything else in that nature. You never know if the one person everyone in school hates could end up being a good friend and totally chill. "You know what we want step away from the door Mr. Finch." These men are judging Tom on his color and are automatically assuming that he is guilty because he is black.

FOR $URE

I know I already wrote a blog about racism, but I think its a major theme during this book. Tom Robinson is a great example of being a victum of racism. He was accused of rape and abuse, was shot 17 times by prison guards, and was almost killed the night before his trial. Some of the ladies in Maycomb are also racist, actually most the town is racist. "You know what we want, step away from the door Mr.Finch." (151) That was said by one of the many men that came to kill Tom the night before his trial.

In my opinon Atticus seems like he has his head in the right place, but can be strict sometimes. Scout, Jem, and Dill were just having fun playing their Boo Radley game and then Atticus came outside. "...he has the right to stay inside free from the attentions of inquisitive children." (49) The kids didn't mean any harm by the game they were just playing out Boo's life the way they thought it happened/is happening.

Boo Radley does a lot of mysterious things during chapters 4-8. "Miss Stephanie Crawford even told me once that she woke up in the middle of the night and found him looking in the window at her." (44) Before I read this chapters I didn't really think Boo Radley was all the scary. My view of him quickly changed. Now after getting a recap on some of the crepper things people have claimed him to do....makes him seem a straight up creeper.
