I agree with everything that Clarissa said. It was brilliant. I loved the way Atticus was able to respond to his children with paitence,love, understanding, and wisdom. I loved how he was constant and virtuous. He knew he had something difficult to do and he did it the best he could even though he knew that it could have adverse effects on his children. He knew that because they looked to him for guidance he had to take the case. The childrens relationship with Boo was intriguing. It made me think about how many times our childish instincts keep us from getting to know someone "different". One of my favorite parts of the book was when Scout recognizes Boo. The continual use of the "n" word was disturbing. I think that is exactly what the author wanted. It was obvious that she looked down on "common" language. This book is a must read.
