I've been eyeing To Kill a Mockingbird for years, I've just never taken the plunge. I watched the movie in elementary and had difficulty comprehending it. In spite of the confusion, however, I felt a connection to it, to Scout more specifically. Now that Im finally reading it, I'm adopting Scout's perspective. Confronting, with her, a complex, hurting world. I remember so little of the movie, I don't know whether to dread or long for the ending. So I'm really apprehensive to see how everything plays out. I've grown to love Atticus, Jem, Scout, and Calpurnia. And though I recognize the danger Atticus places them in by following his convictions, I know they will stand firm. They're standing on the foundation of goodness and justice. Nothing that blazes their way can uproot them.
