I'm going to write about chapter one because that is all i read today.
It really surprises me how racist the people were at this time. I mean, the police couldn't even put Boo in jail because they felt bad putting him in a building with colored people. I got really mad when i read all of that. I know this book is based on the 1930's and people were really racist back then, but i would've thought everyone would have more compassion for one another.
I also don't think that any of the rumors about the Radley's are true. All the stories told seem like little ghost tales that little kids now tell each other. Plus almost all the characters except for Atticus and Calpurnia are children. Just about all kids believe anything they hear. Especially if it's something scary.
Wow, i've only read chapter one and I'm already writing a paragraph about how angry I am.
Keep trusting your instincts on the Radley's.
ReplyDeleteRacism was rampant in the 1930s, particularly the South. Jim Crow laws were unbelievable!
