I have actually really enjoyed reading To Kill a Mockingbird so far. I was a little skeptical at first and didn't think I would really like the book especially cause the cover looked kind of strange. I seem to always judge the book by the cover which is not always a good thing. This is book really reminds me of Tom Sawyer which I read last year in English. Jem, Dill, and Scout are always outside playing and have no worries in the world. It really makes me miss being a kid!! I thought it was so funny when Jem got his pants stuck in the fence after they were trying to escape quickly from the Radley house. He came up with such creative answers to hide it though, I was impressed, but somehow I think Atticus nows more about what the kids are doing then they think. Then that was so weird when Jem went back to get his pants and they were folded all neat like they were waiting for him to come back. I wonder if it was Mr. Nathan or Boo who folded up the pants??? Then when they kept on finding all those things in the tree. Was Boo doing that?? I thought that it must have been hom because then Nathan was the one who filled it u[ with cement. And why did he do that?? Atticus said the tree wasn't dying at all but yet that is what Nathan told him was the reason he had filled up the hole. So did he know that Boo was leaving those things in the tree and he didn't like it??? Oh yeah and another part I thought was quite strange was when Scout heard laughing form inside the Radley house after the kids got in trouble for playing the Boo Radley game. These parts really make me curious and want to know what is going on in that house and if Boo knows exactly what the kids are up to. Chapter 8 has been about my favorite chapter so far. That was really depressing when Miss Maudie's house burned down, especially since all of her flowers died, which were her prized possessions. Then the whole part about Boo putting the blanket around Scout, that is kind of creepy. You would think she would have felt someone putting the blanket around her. I wish she would have felt it and then she could have gotten a real good look at Boo which would answer a lot of their questions about the Radley house. At least they know he is still alive. I can't wait to keep reading and discover more about the mystery of the Radley house.

I felt the same way at the beginning of the book but as I got further into it...it got really interesting! I was really excited about and can not wait till I start reading again!
I agree with you. This book is better than I thought it would be. It is kind of like Tom Sawyer. That used to be my favorite book when I was younger. It really makes me miss childhood. The whole pants thing and the blanket during the fire really was weird and it is driving me crazy because I want to know more. I can't hardly put the book down and I actually got in trouble with a teacher for reading in class! Ooops!
I have some of the same exact questions as you do!!I really like the book espically the dialect!!It is so fun to hear the way they talk the funny thing is the author wrote the book in NYC!!
