I’m so thankful to have been able to talk with Amy’s class in the discussion boards because I was given the opportunity to read To Kill a Mockingbird again. The last time I read it was at least ten years ago. This, being my third reading, found an even deeper appreciation for it (which I didn’t really think was possible). For some reason a lot of the humor rose to the surface for me this time. It was also really nice to read the dialogue of characters like Maudie Atkinson and be reminded of the way my grandmother spoke (e.g. “Oh, foot!” as an expletive).
The novel is so well balanced! Just the right amount of humor, tragedy, foreshadowing, and even well placed austerity.
