Hey, whats up peeps? Today I shall be explaining how I felt while reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and how it related to me as a person. So anyway, let's get this thing going. The main way that this book related to me was, well, basically just being a kid again. Not having a care in the world, and just having fun.
This book brought memories of me running through town without having to worry about anything. It made me remember that sometimes it's not always the best thing to know how the world works, and how dark things can be. I felt as though a big message that Harper Lee wanted to put across was that yes, the story may be about growing up, but, that growing up isn't always the best thing to do. This clicked with me when I was reading the story, and there is one huge example that I can think of.
I think a point within the story that can represent what I have said above is definitely when Scout is being hassled about growing up and being a lady. When you're a kid, people don't really care how you dress or act, which I think is a great thing! People should be able to dress and act however they please! But then, when you start to grow up, everyone tells you just ho to act and dress, and that's just ridiculous. Boy's can act however they want, and girls can act however they want. It's sexist and wrong to tell a boy he can't wear something pink, or a feminine color, or to tell a girl not to wear jeans. But, when you're a kid., you aren't told anything like that. Huh, huh, you see where I be getting with this? Aw yeah. Talking bout' da truth.
So, I think that about sums everything up. Reading this book, I loved being able to remember my foolish childhood antics, and I just think that, while you do need to grow and mature, everyone should still keep in touch with that kid inside. Having said that, I am a little relieved to be finishing up with To Kill a Mockingbird, because frankly and honestly, I'm getting a wee tired of it. That is all.
sweet!
