Mockingbird Thoughts

So, I've started reading To Kill a Mockingbird.  I think that the book is divided into two parts (if there are more then I haven't found them), and as I have finished part one, I thought it was time for me to post some thoughts.  So far...

Sorry, I had to.  Instead, it is about a girl named Scout, her older brother Jem, and their father Atticus, who is a lawyer.  The book seems a little random, telling stories about Scout's life in a small town in Alabama.  It goes into great detail about the relationship Scout and Jem have with the people in town, especially focusing on their obsession with their mysterious neighbors, the Radleys.  I think that most of what I've read so far is set up for the plot, considering that most of the events seem to have nothing to do with what people have told me the book is about.  Even though I've enjoyed the book so far, I'm hoping that it gets better.  Here are some quotes that I liked.

    

Second Attempt

So, I've been looking at everyone's blogs and I've been impressed by your picture and hyperlinking skills.  I haven't mastered this yet so I will keep trying. :)  All of the blogs are looking really good!!!!  Anyway, it sounds like you all have a lot of fun summer plans that I will look forward to hearing about.  I'm also exited about hearing your summer reading (both free reading and homework reading), and hope to learn about some interesting books.  So far this summer, I've mostly been relaxing and enjoying vacation.  I have obtained a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird, which I will start reading soon.  Thanks Mrs. Barbusca for lending me the copy!!!!  Currently I am reading Hero's Song by Edith Pattou, which I have enjoyed so far.  Yea!!!!!  I managed to put in hyperlinks!!!!  And a picture, too!!!! :) 

This is my first time trying to blog anything and I'm not sure if I've figured it out. :)  So far my summer plans are pretty indefinite.  I know that I will be traveling in and out of Bucharest, though I'm not sure when or where yet.   As far as summer reading, I'm hoping to read To Kill a Mockingbird for my book of choice, if I can find a copy.  I'm looking forward to hearing about every one else's summers!
