How could you not love Atticus Finch? |

| #2 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | my favorite character was Boo Radley, i thought his character was very endearing and that his true heart showed when he saved Scout and... um... her brother [can't remember the name] |
|
|
| #3 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | Her brother's name is Jem. I think it's short for Jeremy or something.
This is one of my all-time favorite books. I'm glad I read it long before I had to read it for one of my literature classes, or I probably would have hated it. =/
Atticus Finch FTW! :D |

| #4 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | True. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the greatest books ever published. I learned a lot reading those books. Thought me how great, and how ignorant society can be, even today. Atticus is, without a doubt the best character in the book. Too bad Harper Lee, hasn't written anything after TKM. And TKM, was released over 40 years ago. |

| #5 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | Best book ever. Better then Pride and Predjuice, even. |
|
|
| #6 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | Good book, I've also seen the play version of it, the book's much better. Of course imo books are almost always better than plays.
Even better though is How To Kill a Mockingbird, it has ninjas on sharks if I recall correctly. |
|
|
| #7 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | How To Kill A Mockingbird is the best novel. Period.
But the movie's beginning song for the book is also beautiful. |

| #8 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | I'm not that fond of that book, I found it REALLY boring. |
|
|
| #9 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #8 by NoName | Reply | | Yes this book is one the greatest of all time. I actually know Harper Lee through my Granny but I know her very little. My Granny sees her in Winn-Dixie from time to time... |
|
|
| #10 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | I found it to be a great book on the reality of growing up.
It is one of my favorites of all time and it even inspired my screen name on quite a few forums. |
|
|
| #11 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | I didn't like the book...it was kind of dull, atticus was too perfect, i feel like he needed a fault besides his imperfect eyes.
Also...i just don't like harper lee (made up quote) "My book is so great no one could write a bok as good, not even me!" |

|
| #12 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | Wow I hated that book. That is one of those required reading books for high school that makes you loathe it. Like Heart of Darkness. only not so much. |
|
|
| #13 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | I actually found that book to be one of the required readings I loved rather than hated. It probably helped to know that several schools had tried to ban the book and I wanted to know why. I didn't understand parts of it (symbolism, implications, etc.), but I loved it anyway. And Atticus is the best. |
|
|
| #14 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | Agreed. Atticus is so cool. |
|
|
| #15 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | Yeah, "To Kill a Mockingbird" was an amazing book. Personally, I like "Fahrenheit 451" WAY better, since it's my favorite book of all-time. But Atticus Finch is awesome. |

|
| #16 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | screw the book being An "american classic". It SUCKED on ice. except for the ham costume. Only... in America. |
|
|
| #17 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | I actually liked the first part better than the end
The trial just got less interesting to me =/ |
|
|
| #18 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #17 by PhantomFan | Reply | | really? i liked the whole mysterious feeling from the Radley house, and the Halloween part too. |
|
|
| #19 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | We have to read this book in my English class. ._. Seeing it is on here, I guess it must be a good book. |
|
|
| #20 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #19 by ChibiNeko | Reply | | it takes a lot to get into it (well it did for me...) |
|
|
| #21 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #18 by Egyptianeye | Reply | | yeah but I kinda thought the second part of the book went downhill |
|
|
| #22 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #21 by PhantomFan | Reply | | yea, i kno what you mean, it just kinda got boring cuz it was like he was bored with it |
|
|
| #23 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #22 by Egyptianeye | Reply | true
I also thought that Atticus was too "mary sue" a character, if that even makes sense. Kinda like he was "too perfect" in a way to really exist. Although I don't think he was a hero |
|
|
| #24 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #23 by PhantomFan | Reply | | yea! cuz he was always right, always the good one, like he had no actual human qualities, cuz he never did anything wrong! |
|
|
| #25 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #24 by Egyptianeye | Reply | LOL we are so stalking each others posts!
Last year I had to write an essay about how he was a hero. But I told the teacher that I didn't think he was a hero, but she still forced me to do the damn essay her way (that byotch always hated me)
=/ |

|
| #26 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #25 by PhantomFan | Reply | | but he's NOT a hero....... he litteraly doesn't do jack sh*t. Boo does more than him! |
|
|
| #27 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #26 by Egyptianeye | Reply | I mean, he could have done so much more to save Tom whats-his-name
He only did what was asked of him |
|
|
| #28 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #27 by PhantomFan | Reply | | and hell, it was obvious that Tom was innocent they only hated him cuz he was black (literaly) |
|
|
| #29 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #28 by Egyptianeye | Reply | Yep
The very definition of racism (>.> used far to often here by xelly and underling nowadays....)
But over all, the book was better before the ending, which just went downhill |
|
|
| #30 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #29 by PhantomFan | Reply | | well, having rediscussed it. the MIDDLE was better than the beginning AND end... |
