Provide your final thoughts on To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee? What did you enjoy about the novel? What didn't you like? Be very specific. Do you think this book should be taught to future 8th grade classes? Why or why not.
We'll to start off what I in joyed about the novel is that one specific part of the story with the Tom Robinson's trial. The reason I said that I like that part because it was very interesting to me and it had a lot of details and my class mates most of them liked it. Also I liked that part because in stated everything about they did everything that a real judge or loyer would do now today and the solved a case. The part I didn't like was in the trial how Tom was guilty and they all knew that but I think it had something to do with rasuim because of the fact it sounded like the girl lied on Tom Robinson that I didn't like, but anyways that was the part I didn't like of the novel. This book should be taught to future 8th graders because they could learn what has happened in the past with court issues, even though Maycomb isn't a real town or place some 8th grade students would still think it's true on how the novel is set up.
What I thought was fascinating about "To Kill A Mockingbird" By Harper Lee is that Scout is coming of age by being immaturity to maturity, childhood to adulthood, and scared to courageous. Also, Scout learns to face challenges or obstacle even though it's going to be demanding at one point in time. What I dislike about "To Kill A Mockingbird" By Harper Lee is mostly a lot of people in Maycomb treated blacks disrespectful. For example: Mayella Ewell(white) accuse Tom Robinson(black) for rape and beating. Yes, I think this book should be taught to future 8th graders because students can learn from it & it shows racial segregation and discrimination between blacks and whites.
One thing that I enjoyed about the novel is the mystery of Author Radley AKA Boo Radley because every where there were different perspectives about how boo Radley lived like when Jem said that "judging from his tracks Boo was six feet tall,and that he dined on any squirrels or cats that he could catch.
The blog posting was competent, the blogging allowed me to express my opinion about things that happened in the book as well as what other people had to say. I would have liked for us to have more debates or conversations about the questions that was put on the blog. Overall, being able to use technology to communicate with my peers was appealing. I would recommend this book to others. This book had lots of good information that was useful.
I liked to kill a mockingbird because it gives a lot of messages. To kill a mockingbird is a great book for 8th graders to read because it gives the readers a clue with what happen back in the day during the Great Depression. It gives the readers messages that happened in the past, happens in the present, and will happen in the future. It's a great book if your trying to get information about racism, hypocrisy, and discrimination. After reading this book I realized that Scout the (main character) was based off Harper Lee experience during the 1930's.
My final thoughts on the book To Kill A Mockingbird is that I was really surprised at the end when Bob Ewell tried to kill or hurt Atticus kids and then he ended up dying after. What I really enjoyed about the book is how everything turned out how I thought it would've been like how Scout and Jem ended becoming more mature and being more of a person who they truly are....What I didn't like about the book was when Bob tried to kill Scout and Jem because I think that was like soooo wrong in a lot of different ways to its like he didn't care about the consequences or the repercussions....But I think this book To Kill A Mockingbird should be taught in future 8th grade classes because I think that this book is about bravery and right from wrong and it would or probably would teach a lot of lessons to those students as it did to me....
In the book of To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee, I enjoyed the novel in many ways. I enjoyed the fact that book was in First Person because of the way Harper Lee Played her role in it. I enjoyed the trial of Tom Robinson because there were things that I learned during the trial, I learned the form of racism and innocence. I also enjoyed the characters in the book such as Scout, Boo Radely, Atticus, Tom Robinson, Mr. Ewell, and more. All of these characters played a big part in the book and that's what made the book interesting. The most important parts of the book that I really enjoyed was the signs that were given that represented a mockingbird. I thought this was important because this was basically the moral of the story. The parts I didn't like in the story was the way Aunt Alexandra treated Calpurnia because Calpurnia was a good and helpful woman and she was like Mother-Figure to both Jem and Scout, then she comes along and tries to ruin it. I think this was be a good book for the future 8th graders to read because the would learned a lot from this novel and This book would also provide and teach many lessons for the 8th graders as it done for me.
In the start of To Kill A Mockingbird it's was very boring through like 4 chapters but when the rest of the book came through the book started to get good. My favorite part in the book was the trails. For Tom Robison but the book was very good I still say they should teach this book in schools because it have a lot of life lessons up in this novel.
I agree because usually kids these days do the things they not suppose to do but there are books they want to keep these people in need of life lessons
My final thoughts on To Kill A Mockingbird is great it's just some parts I didn't understand I didn't like but when I watch the movie it was interesting then the book maybe because the book had more details than the movie did,but I don't know the movie just interest me. Something I enjoy about the Novel is Tom Robinson Case, When Boo Radley help Jem and Scout and the way Scout though and dressed and act. Something I did not like was when Bob Ewell tried to kill Scout and Jem but Boo Radley came in save them. Yes I think this novel should be taught to future 8th grade classes because it was a great book to learn about and people got to see about Maycomb Alabama and how blacks was mistreated they also need to learn the literary term/device and elements of a plot and characterization and many more that Harper Lee uses. Maybe some day they would figure to stop fighting each and fight for each other and learn Blacks always had a bad reputation on them no matter what goes on.
FINAL THOUGHTS JUST GOT IN: My final thoughts about the novel To Kill a Mockingbird is it's a great book and at first I was like Nah this book is not going to fit with me so I just started not reading it and just wondering off then I just started to read it again then I was like awww ok this book could work. The characters played they role like a actor should. The most importantly I enjoy was the trail they had with Mayella and Tom Robinson that was very racist to me because I saw it like they was judging off of skin and that was the reason why Tom was found guilty. What I didn't like in the novel was when they Bob Ewell tried to kill Jem and Scout over Atticus trying to defend a black person which is racial as we'll so at that point Bob didn't have no right to do what he did to those kids. OF COURSE this book should be taught to future 8th graders because they will enjoy this as well as we did I will love to see these 8th graders experience this racial things that's happening and how just little kids like Jem and Scout know it's not right to treat anyone like that no matter there skin color there human just like YOU are. I think they will feel the exact same way I felt at first I didn't like it, it wasn't my kind of tea then I started to feel for it. My word to them is to never back down early just keep reading and reading you will get there and when you get there you not going to want to leave there.
Yea that's how I was I never wanted to read this book because it started off boring and I like I'm not about to find myself reading this then when Mr. C was like if you don't read then you will not get good grades it's going to mess you up.

Final Thoughts: To Kill A Mockingbird is not what I at all expected. In the beginning of the book I thought the book was torture. It was so boring but as I read on and a few chapters had pasted it turned out to be really interesting. What I enjoyed about the novel is that there were two different plots. I liked how they talked about the kids and Boo Radley in the first plot, then they went into the Tom Robinson Trial in the second plot but after he died they kinda combined them together towards the last few chapters. My favorite character was Boo Radley. I feel like he was the most interesting. My attention was mostly on him. When they had to stop the first plot to focus on the second plot, I was engaged but secretly hoping that they book would go back to plot 1. My dislikes was very scarce. But most of them lies in the beginning of the book. I hated the beginning of the book because it was only introducing the characters and all of the characters seemed very simple and boring just like the town was, I was into more complex characters because you can analyze them and see them different ways. A part that I really didn't like was the fact that Tom Robinson died. But another part of me feels like he had to die because if he didn't you really would have understood the fact that he was basically the Mockingbird in a way. I do think this book should be taught to other 8th graders because other 8th graders should get a chance to see and understand and get a feel of how the actual trial was. And to let every other person in the world see that the world is not a fair place, and that bad things can happen to any body, anywhere, anytime. Doesn't matter if they deserved it or not. But then again that's what makes me think that it shouldn't be taught to other eight graders because some people are not ready to hear the truth, and still wanna believe the world is all peaches and cream.
With this extraordinary book "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee I Feel it Was a Dangerous RollerCoster Ride, it was a lot of ups and downs that came with it. At some points I just wanted to give up but as a student I notice it's an expectation to do what's best. I feel that some students either sank or swim with this text. In the begging the book came off as boring but as each page went along it got better. So each time my fingers touched the book after every turn I feel those pages taught me something. It taught me that there's going be book I enjoy and book I hate. In the begging of the text it was a challenge to stay on track and push forward but as the middle and end parts got better so did my reactions as well as the class reactions become better with it. For most people books like these are hard to understand but for some they understand how complex it is and strive to find out all you can learn from it. This book is a lesson. It teaches me many things about cultures, society's, and more.Some may feel it boring and stop reading but it's takes mental straggles to understand the whole book in its entirety. Harper lee deserves all the respect she gets for this book because it's hard to be a women telling a story from a women's word threw dialogs of a child, a girl. All while she's doing this she forms scout into a young women and while she's doing that she makes the other Characters complex as well. Many sees blacks as fails but this book made me believe even more that that's wrong, but at the end of the day the Tom Robinson situation only made me stronger because regardless of my history I will make it, as a young man I see the world the way I want, I feels most whites hate to see blacks make it, hamper lee showed that I got something, and that's freedom. I won't let nobody Robb me of that and like I said one day a lot of whites will hate me because I want to show the world and young youth that blacks can be something to the world doesn't revalued around the past so when I make it, im going to show every one the future is what counts. This book was great and it made me a better person and student. It shaped me for the further all while thinking about my past. I don't believe that anyone should be treated the way Tom was. He was a innocent male and even in the court room there words made him feel less of him self. Just by reading this I feel it's right to say I learned a lot and some other 8thgraders will to just by picking up this book. This book is something everyone can benefit from, this book should be taught because it's simply a special sturdy book.
We'll with this story "To Kill A MockingBird" I had a lot of challenges. These struggles made me want to give up at times, but I new that if I would have stop then I would have been like everyone else. So I kept on striving to read this book hoping that it would get better. And it actual did once I was able to get past all of the constant chapters that caused me boredom. My favorite part of that journey was when Bob Ewell was killed. This part had action , adventure and it was the end of the terror that Bob would cause the town ( the Finch family in general ). The part of the story that I didn't like was when Tom Robinson was sentenced to jail for a crime that he clearly didn't commit. This gave me the mine set that all black people will loss at everything (trials) if there up against a white person. From my understanding history repeats it self so if this is true then every trial that happens after the Tom Robinson's trial that is blacks Vs whites then the whites would win. This gives me a insight of how the world is set up today. There has been cases in the world today were innocent blacks have been jailed or lost there trial to a White person because that history is still repeating itself. That is why I come to the conclusion that this book should be thought in 8th grade. It will give those 8th graders a insight on how the world is setup and could encourage them to try to break that chain.
What I liked about To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee was how it was constructed. She constructed to where it could mean many different things and meanings, like it could be a coming of age story or a story where you can learn life lessons from. I think the coming of age spoke to me the most because it shows how you have to be willing to grow and transform your way of thinking and your perspective on people and things and this can pertain to the real world and has lessons anyone could learn from.I didn't like the fact that all black people were ALWAYS portrayed as incompetent and helpless, because in the book you have people like Calpurnia that could carry her own weight and knows how to act according to her surroundings, and she understands that there's a time and place for everything like the way she acts at church versus the way she acts at the Finch house is how you know that she isn't helpless and incompetent. I would recommend this to 8th grade teachers to teach because it not only focuses on racism that happened in the south but the complexities of the world and how it works. It also sends across a strong message that both African Americans and white people could benefit from learning but I think it would be confidential that white people learn this lesson the most because after they see that everyone is made equal and in the end there really is no white of black then they would start to see what life could bring them and in there own way it would be like there coming of age.

the thoughts that I have for the To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee is that in some parts of the book was interesting to me , but some parts was okay. And also as we was watching the movie it was making a big connection. And as we was reading the book and saw the movie it made a big difference to me. What I had enjoyed about the novel is that sometimes it was making me think about what was going on back in the day when racism was going on. And also for an example back in the days blacks had to sit in the back of the bus an whites had the right to sit in the front of the bus. And also for another example ,Rosaparks couldn't sit in the front of the bus because ,she was black the front seats was made for whites only to sit down in. What I really didn't like in the book is that the racism that was going on. I believe that this book was made for 8graders why because , it can tell us about what was going on with people in their family . And also some people need to learn more about history in this was a good book to read for all 8 graders.
We'll to start off what I in joyed about the novel is that one specific part of the story with the Tom Robinson's trial. The reason I said that I like that part because it was very interesting to me and it had a lot of details and my class mates most of them liked it. Also I liked that part because in stated everything about they did everything that a real judge or loyer would do now today and the solved a case. The part I didn't like was in the trial how Tom was guilty and they all knew that but I think it had something to do with rasuim because of the fact it sounded like the girl lied on Tom Robinson that I didn't like, but anyways that was the part I didn't like of the novel. This book should be taught to future 8th graders because they could learn what has happened in the past with court issues, even though Maycomb isn't a real town or place some 8th grade students would still think it's true on how the novel is set up.

I agree with you because scout coming of age was interesting and gave us something to think about and talk about.

It also sends across a strong message that both African Americans and white people could benefit from learning but I think it would be confidential that white people learn this lesson the most because after they see that everyone is made equal and in the end there really is no white of black then they would start to see what life could bring them and in there own way it would be like there coming of age.

the thoughts that I have for the To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee is that in some parts of the book was interesting to me , but some parts was okay. And also as we was watching the movie it was making a big connection. And as we was reading the book and saw the movie it made a big difference to me. What I had enjoyed about the novel is that sometimes it was making me think about what was going on back in the day when racism was going on. And also for an example back in the days blacks had to sit in the back of the bus an whites had the right to sit in the front of the bus. And also for another example ,Rosaparks couldn't sit in the front of the bus because ,she was black the front seats was made for whites only to sit down in. What I really didn't like in the book is that the racism that was going on. I believe that this book was made for 8graders why because , it can tell us about what was going on with people in their family . And also some people need to learn more about history in this was a good book to read for all 8 graders.
