The Mockingbird, to kill or not to kill?

I've to write on it, I think. So I write. Because I love it!

It took me one week "to kill the mockingbird". Honestly, I usually finish  a novel in about 2-3 days. This may have already broken my personal record. The length of the novel isn't long compares to my previous reading. This is because the author used flashback and foreshadowing at the beginning of the novel, caused me hardly to understand the story well. But when comes to chapter 9, where Atticus started to help the Black in a court case, everything started to become interesting, so i took 2 days to finish the remain chapters. 

This novel, by Madam Harper Lee, was written in 1960, exactly 50 years ago. I've read some articles about the novel. In U.S. and England, this novel is well known and the sales of the book never reduce even after 50 years. After gone through the novel, as it is the only novel from Lee, I realised that she must had put lots of affords in writing it. This made "To Kill A Mockingbird" is listed in the school syllabus of almost all countries that use English as their major language.

The author, Madam Harper Lee

The novel is using First Person Point of View to tell the story. The main character, Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, or more frequently called as Scout in the novel, narrates the story through a mind of small kid (about 6 years old). Atticus Finch, daddy of Scout, was a lawyer of Maycomb. Jeremy Atticus "Jem" Finch (known as Jem), who was 4 years older than Scout, was a protective brother of Scout. 

Jem and Scout in the film

These three characters have their own specific characteristics. As for me, Scout more looks like a tomboy. Her games usually were games of Jem too. And you know Jem, he would hate the "girly" stuff. For example, he always told Scout not to join him and Dill if she started to sound like girl. What she can do was just "be a boy". Jem, although became further from Scout at the end of the story, but he was still a protective brother for Scout. This explained why he sacrificed his arm during the attack of Bob Ewell to save his sister.

Atticus and Tom Robinson, who was one of the mockingbird

I bet everyone who have read this novel will be impressed by Atticus, a fair and square lawyer, so do I. He born in the anti-black age. During this era, the society's tradition was "no matter what the white had done, they always right; no matter what the black done, they always wrong". This tradition had automatically become one of the ethics or laws during that time. Racism, was the principle of Maycomb residents. They even had a special jail for the blacks, and separate them from the white prisoners. And the blacks lived as a lowest level citizen in the town. Yet, Atticus still be able to defend for Tom Robinson, who was charged for a rape case. Although Atticus was asked to do so by his boss, but he put all effort to save Tom, since he knew Tom was innocent.

How about you? What's your opinion after reading the novel? ^_^

The Lost Symbol

The book that Geo had read recently entitled

The Lost Symbol

                                  by Dan Brown

It is the third book with Robert Langdon as main character after Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. Dan Brown's novels are always full of horror. So as the other novels likes Digital Fortress and The Deception Point written by Brown. This make Geo always keep an eye on Brown's novel. (excited though...)

He bought this book in late December 2009, but only able to finish reading it in March 2010.  In this novel, again, Brown is trying to bring his readers to the world of historical arts in United States Capitol. Hehe... Read this book if you like adventures, I bet you'll love it! ;)
