To Kill a Mockingbird-Lasmy
The way the book was heading towards to is interesting in the way that the real climax-the actual story line that's important is not there yet. In place, we have the life story of the characters, their daily lives, and the changes that comes with the progression of the book. Like most books, while the characters are developing, you grow with them through the realistic scenarios. such as them getting in trouble or them learning. Even though it is interesting, watching them from an omniscient view, the book itself is slow paced. Yes, I am learning about the characters, their behaviors and who they are, but I almost have no idea where the story is exactly going. Later though, I know the theme about mockingbirds will eventually come and I'm excited to see how the story relates to the mockingbirds and how it relates to the story because when they mentioned the mockingbirds for the first time, it was a breath-taking moment.

I believe that the author extended the exposition to not only develop the characters thoroughly but also to provide insight onto the theme of humanity. These anectodal scenes of her childhood reveal both the good and the bad in humans; this theme may be further developed in subsequent chapters. The mentioning of the mockingbird brought a sigh of relief, because it foreshadowed the development of the rise to the climax. Would you be disappointed if the mockingbird was simply symbolic? It may simply represent free-spirited innocence.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Lasmy. The book seems to be just like a series of events that seem to serve no purpose. I don't really know the central plot or problem that the book is about, but seeing the characters develop and seeing issues grow, it's almost like a mystery game. I'm positive that the book will reveal it's true intentions and themes at the climax!
