'It's a sin to kill a mocking bird.'
This has most definitely been my favorite book to read for Honors 10...and we're not even done with it! It has kept my attention throughout the whole first part. I love the writting; it uses enough 'old time' language and enough modern day language that it's easy to understand. It also is interesting. The things that these kids, Scout, Jem and Dill go through are things that we, today, would never go through, but at the same time, they're exactly what we would go through. I think that's why it's so easy to read. I, personally, can relate each character to someone in my life, which makes the reading process so much easier. I'm very excited to find out more about the mysterious Radley house, and hear about Dill, Scout and Jem's new summer together. This has been the best book, so far, because of the way the author grabs my attention and the different situations he puts the kids, and even adults, into, that are easy to relate to.

I totally agree with your statement that the story is easier to read because all the charecters are relatable to someone in real life. I didn't think to add that to my blog. Nice job(:

Exactly. The book never was dull, and I was always wanting to read on. Although I have a feeling the book will change, part 1 has been the best thing we have read. One thing though, do you think that the summers will continue with Dill. He is passed around so much do you think he will not come back, or more importantly, will the events that will occur take place during the summer when Dill is there? Right now, the summers go buy quickly, but when we get into the real story, will the days slow and will the days be with Dill? Just a thought. Well said!

I love how you mentioned the "old language" and the modern day language, I definately agree. It's great how the author was able to incorporate both of them and still make it relatable today :)
