To Kill A Mockingbird Scout Diary

Improved Essays
That was a night to remember--for both me and Scout. I knew Scout wanted to explode with questions and tears as we were walking to my house; however, she remained gentle. As a person who felt connected to both Jem and Finch more than their actual father, Atticus, I knew exactly what goes on inside of the minds of those kids. But I couldn’t quite perceive of went inside of Scout’s mind when she was at my front porch at first. I found it quite odd when she just stood there speechless. She had a look on her face; a look I have never seen before. It was as if she epiphanized something--something that she should have known a long time ago. I had no idea what she was doing until she looked at the tree. Who would have known that standing outside

    I would rate this book 6 or 7 out of 10, because is was very detailed on what it was saying and I could imagine what was going on in the book. The thing that I did not like in the book. The story ends with Scout well on her way to growing up, as well. She now has some idea of what being a lady involves, and she no longer seems to mind so much. But importantly, Lee leaves readers with the remembrance that Scout the narrator is still a little girl.…

    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, both Jem and Scout undergo a similar experience, when they realize all the quality traits their father has. For instance, while the children are not too amazed with what they know about their father at first, the uncovering of Atticus’ hidden traits only increases the amount of trust and respect the children have for their father. This can be clearly exemplified when Jem and Scout realize “Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time” (129).
