To Kill A Mockingbird

           I really like the way the characters were described in Chapter 1. You feel like you are in the characters place. Also, the book is very realistic feeling and you can easily picture what is being described.  I wonder why she doesn’t miss her mother like her brother did. Was it because she had hardly known her or did something happen? I’m also confused on what the significance of closed doors was because they keep repeating how the Radley’s doors were always closed. I like how the author makes it clear the time period this book takes place in and the racial discrimination that takes place in it. For example, when the sheriff didn’t have the heart to put Boo Radley in jail alongside Negroes, so he locked him in the court basement instead. However, I am confused why Mr. Radley yelled that Boo was trying to kill his parents, but then he didn’t want the sheriff to do anything to Boo because he didn’t do anything and wasn’t crazy. I predict that the curtains moving a little after Jem touches the house will play a significance in the book. Overall, I like the book so far and it seems very interesting.
