I loved your perspective on the book. I think I am going to have to write down my ideas as soon as I finish so that I get the full feeling down before I move on to another book.

I do think Atticus was a wonderful lead by example dad. He loved his children and those around him, however he was also able to feel his emotions while keeping them under control to do what neede to be done. He was always able to see the whole picture.

Thanks for the “light” discussion!

What good thoughts! What you said about perspective is very true. A small shift can sometimes make a big difference. Good description of Ms. Lee trying to replace our tired adult perspectives. I didn’t really think about why she told the story around Scout, but that makes sense. I also like what you said about relearning with your daughter and each relating to the story in a different way. Glad y’all could do this together.

Atticus was such a fine role model with his actions and his words.

I thoroughly enjoyed your review! Thanks for joining in the BBBC. I’ll post about the next selection soon.

Wow… I never even thought about the sensitivity to light and all of that. Maybe that is because I am out in the sun all of the time and it doesn’t bother me one bit, but that is a very good point. The more that you avoid it the more you become sensitive to it.

You can take that to other areas too, The more that you avoid people and their problems… the more you become sensitive to them or “affected” by them, therefore avoiding them all together as well… Hummmmm..
