My First Post :) (1-4)

For the First Few Chapters of To Kill A Mockingbird, there were a few things that i noticed that seemed some what odd to me. But, the main thing a noticed was the way everybody talked about Boo, and what they said he had done, and just the way they were acting towards him. I found this quite odd because from what everybody said about him, no one really saw him. I just thought that everybody was judging someone that they really knew nothing about. Also, to me this showed that people in maybury can be judgemental about things when they really shouldnt be. When I thought about this, I this sort of helped me to notice how small of a town it is. I started to get the idea because everybody knew everybody; and everyboyd felt the same way about Boo, even though they hadnt seen him yet.

This is the main ‘weird’ thing i noticed about the town. Some of the other things I noticed was how mad the teacher got because Scout could already read and write. I figured the teacher would be happy that she was already that far ahead of the class. Those are just what I noticed as being Weird in the first few chapters of the book.

Song: Sweet Home Alabama (1-4)

Sweet Home Alabama is the perfect song to represent the setting of the first four chapters, Maycomb, Alabama. Lynyrd Skynyrd realistically depicts the rural southern state and its culture, similar to that of Maycomb. It gives you a very serene and peaceful feeling that makes you just want to sit back and relax, just like the people of Maycomb, they don’t really do many interesting things and prefer to live their lives as calm as possible. The song can also represent all of the adventures Scout, Jem, and Dill have in their small town during the summer acting and trying to investigate the strange life of the mysterious Boo Radley.
