 I hath trode the paths of many a authors and i have now become one with the sun and am reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I have not read far but i as for what i did read this is what I took away from it. 

So far, the main character Jean Louise Finch (otherwise known as Scout) and her brother Jem have been going to school. On their way to school they keep finding objects in a tree at their neighbor's house. This house is the home of the Radley's, a strange and suspicious household in their little neighborhood. 

Atticus Finch, Scout's father, has also been criticized throughout the neighborhood. Atticus is a lawyer and recently took on a case defending a black man. While Scout goes to school each day she is ridiculed by her peers because of her father's clients. 

And that's what's going on!

As I flip through the pages of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, my thoughts are littered with warm summer Southern air and quaint friendliness of a small town village. The neighborhood friendliness and and camaraderie of living in a small town is something I easily relate to. Throughout my childhood I have spent many summers staying with my grandparents in the English countryside.

I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I am currently on page 220, and some major events have occured. Atticus Fintch, has taken on a case to defend a black man named Tom Robinson. This has stired up many emotions in the town of Maycomb. One night Atticus leaves with the car, which is very unusual. Jem and Scout, his children, sneak out of the house and head downtown to see what their father is up to. Their friend Dill tags along.

They finally see him from a distance sitting in front of the jail reading the newspaper. Right when they decide its about time to head home, a car pulls up in front of Atticus and men get out. They were not being very friendly and Scout decideds that she needs to intervine. She talks to one of the men about his son, keeps asking him questions, and soon enough the men decide to leave. Scout, an eight-year old girl, saved her father from getting hurt.

Reasat
    My name is Reasat Protik.  I'm a senior at the East-West School of International Studies.  I turned 17 on June 27th.  This is my second and last year at EWSIS.  I enjoyed my junior year here.  It was a big transition from moving from Bronx Science to here.  Bronx Science was a large school.  It was much harder there than here.  After I moved to Jamaica, I transferred to EWSIS.  I am from a Bangladeshi-Muslim family.  I was born in Bangladesh, but I grew up here in New York almost my whole life.  I have one older brother, who is currently a pharmacist.     
 
    I am a pretty lazy guy, but when I'm focused and motivated, I tend to do great things.  I'm kind of shy, until  I get to know you a bit.  I can be funny at times, but I'm mostly a serious guy.  I'm kind of careless.  I can be forgetful at times.  And I tend to lose things sometimes.  Like today.  I had a cell phone on me today on my way to school.

Essential Question:

How does your childhood shape who you've become and how you'll be in the future?

For example: The children in "To Kill A Mockingbird", call their father Atticus instead of Dad.

Why do you think that is?

I'm still reading to kill a mockingbird and I don't know what's going on yet.  I only remember hearing about some kid stealing his mom's money to take a train to see Scout.  And then Calpurnia's friends didn't want white kids coming to church.  They say the N word to much and it's uncomfortable to read. :(

I am currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird for English class. One of the requirements is to answer the question, " Does our childhood environment affect who we become as adults?"

What do you think of Boo Radley in To Kill A Mockingbird?

My opinion... He is one of the novel's “mockingbirds,” a good person injured by the evil of mankind.

I am reading a book in my english class right now called To Kill A Mockingbird.  I haven't gotten very far in the book and I already think it's confusing.  There are so many characters, that it's hard for me to keep track.  But hopefully I will read more and try to understand it.

I am a Junior at Burke High School and I'm reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" in my English class. It is about a little girl in the South who has friends who are dealing with racism in their neighborhood and school. Also they are also dealing with everyday life as a student in the 1930's.

Right now in my English class I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird.  I don't really like it that much and it's hard for me to take the time to really read it to find out what it's about.  I've been told that it is about racism and how people have to over come it but I don't know that I've heard about any black people mentioned in the book.

In class we are reading the book To Kill A Mockingbird. It deals with racism and other issues of segregation during the time of the Jim Crow South. I am very interested in how others feel about segregation and how they would have reacted back during this time.
