Why To Kill A Mockingbird?


            I just started the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This book is really good so far. I just passed the part where Ms. Maudie’s house got burned down. I’m sort of puzzled with this Boo Radley thing. Is he the one who hid those things in the tree for the Finch kids? Was he the one who put the blanket on Scout? If he is the one why isn’t he coming out to acknowledge them? I have so many questions reading this book even though it’s really good. I think they will be answered later on.
          I’ve never read a book like this before. It’s so different. One thing that is sort of confusing me is that where did the title come from? I don’t see the title relating to anything so far. I have a feeling it has to do something with the Radleys. If not I’m sure it’s something that will happen later on in Scout’s life. I have nothing to talk about this book. Only questions.
          I think I will be able to say more once I finish the book but I’m no where near it so far. So far I really like it other than the questions.

  1. Interesting post Sadia. I love "To Kill A Mockingbird" and it is always interesting to hear other people's take on this heart wrenching tale. However, I think people who have not read the book might find your post a little hard to understand as you don't specific who Boo Radley is. Maybe next time you could add a more detailed summary.
