Response on "To Kill a Mockingbird"

To Kill a Mockingbird response :)

Harper Lee’s book, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” is, in my opinion, is a book that I did not get bored of because of its many themes and symbols that can easily be related to reality. I found this book very intriguing and interesting, many scenes surprised me, made me laugh or caused me to feel upset. As the title shows, the symbol of a mockingbird is quite thoroughly demonstrated through the book. This symbol is introduced as confusing and unknown but as the book ventures on, the symbol can be very understanding. My understanding for this symbol increased over time and as it increased, my interest for this book went up as well. I learned a lot, such as how the respect towards black people was horrible, it was like nothing. As it showed in the end, Tom Robinson was convicted of murder just because he felt bad for Mayella which emphasises to me just how bad things were and this showed me how grateful I am now. Furthermore, I liked how Harper Lee wrote the book in Scout’s perspective because it made everything seem more real and authentic. I also liked the several themes that were in this book, my favourite is “growing up” because it awfully seemed like me when I was young and perhaps still does (:D). Another theme that I really enjoyed would be “parents and children” because every family in this book were different. It gave many perspectives on each family and it gives you a very clear image of what each family goes through, their status and how their parents treat their children. In conclusion, I really had a fun time reading this even though I initially thought I would dislike it.
