To Kill a Mockingbird. Jumbled thoughts.

So far, I am loving To Kill a Mockingbird. At times the language is a bit tough, and there are parts that I have to re-read to understand. I, however, don't mind because the novel itself is so captivating. It's the kind of thing you just don't want to put down. It's hard to say whether my favorite character in the book is Scout or Atticus. Scout really interests me because of the way she acts. Scout is a tomboy and doesn't try to make anyone think otherwise. She runs around with her brother and neighbor and looks just like a little boy. I admire her for being exactly who she is. Atticus stands out to me because of his beliefs. Atticus feels that everyone is equal and tries to help his children to understand that. Atticus never judges and never acts as though he is above or better than anyone else. I can't wait to read the second part of the book...
