I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction. ― Tahereh Mafi

Post (I have lost count of how many posts I’ve done, which is pathetic because it isnt alot): Post #4: Compare Atticus’s parenting to Aunt Alexandra’s

Atticus parents his children in a very different way than Aunt Alexandra would like. Aunt Alexandra would like for Scout and Jem to be polite, quiet, well-behaved children. She is a stickler for how others see the family, and believes that Atticus tarnishes the name quite enough with the way he does his job. Alexandra doesn’t trust that the way Atticus parents while make her niece and nephew into respectable people of MayComb. Alexandra doesn’t like the way the two children frolic around the town like a bunch of Hooligans. While Atticus believes that children should be free to run and roam as they please. He trusts that his children will respect him and others, even if they may not respect him. Atticus teaches his children not to judge others even if others do, they must be polite. Atticus knows his children were raised well and that he should have faith in them to make good decisions because he taught them to always do what was best. Atticus is a very good parent to his children considering all the horribleness that surrounds and happens in the town.

Post #4 How Scout Behaves vs. How Other Girls Behave

Scout seems to have been born into the wrong time period. She doesn’t act like the other girls her age and to others, it is quite odd. In this time period girls must wear dresses 24/7 but Scout doesn’t work that way. She doesn’t care what others think and if she wants to wear Overalls all the time, then she will! Girls are also suppose to be seen and not heard, but Scout wants people to know how she feels and thinks. Scout doesn’t want to sit inside all day,  she wants to be outside playing with Jem and Dill. Scout. Scout doesn’t think she is any different from the other girls, she doesn’t see herself as a girl per-say. She tries to be as boy-like as possible, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Post #2 My Favourite Character

Scout is my favourite character by far out of all the people we have encountered in To Kill A Mocking Bird. Scout isn’t afraid to say whats on her mind even though that is fround upon in this period. She just wants to fit in but she also wants to look out for whatever shinanagins Jem and Dill get into. She tries to be the voice of reason out of the 3 of them, but they barely ever listen. She enjoys the adventure just as much as them sometimes though. Scout is very determined and won’t let anything stop her from what she wants. Scout is an amazing little girl for such a young person, Scout knows what she wants and that’s why she is my favourite character.

 

 

Post #1

Atticus has an odd way of parenting his children for the Time period he is in. He taught Scout to be an Independant, Honest, Smart/Intelligent child that is able to fend for herself. Atticus taught Jem to also be Independant, Generous and Noble so he can protect and take care of his little sister and others. The traits Atticus teach to his children show that Atticus is a good man and an amazing father, who wants to raise honest children. Most parents in that time period teach their children that Blacks are wrong, and this is wrong, and that is wrong, and practically EVERYTHING is wrong, or should be. Atticus doesn’t think that way, he is open-minded and teaches his children to do the same.
