Mariana- To Kill a Mockingbird Section 2
As the story develops, Scout's life undergoes a series of changes. She's now in the second grade and finds that she dislikes it as much as she disliked the first grade. I find it interesting because I thought she would begin to like school since she enjoys reading and writing. Additionally, the fire brought emerging thoughts to both Scout and Jem. I enjoyed reading the section as Scout continues to learn more about Boo Radley. Boo's story continues to unfold and it becomes even more mysterious when "gifts" begin to appear. I feel like there will be more to Boo than the children can imagine, even with their wild imagination. Sympathy towards Boo emerges since Scout and Jem saw him as a lunatic, but are now even more curious to learn about his life. I sense a more mature perspective from Jem, in comparison to that of Scout, so he might uncover Boo's story with a harsh attitude.

ReplyDeleteIt turns out to be that so far "Boo" is the opposite from what they thought he was at first. Now that the children are maturing, they gather a better understanding about Boo's character and his actions.
ReplyDeleteHey Mariana, how do you believe that Jem's maturity will have any impact on how boo will interact with the two kids?
