2.3 John Miller
Recently I read the book To Kill A Mockingbird for my Freshman English class last semester. When reading this book, I found that it uses many of the essential literary terms that are needed to make a book noteworthy. The book has many accounts of the theme coming of age, like how the main character Scout matures throughout the course of the whole story. She goes from a young, naive child to a world wise young woman. I think that I can make a connection with this story because I am going through a stage in my life in which I learn many of the things that I need to become an adult. This book has given me many lessons that I will most likely use to better my life in the future.

I agree with you on how you and many others are going through this change in there life but in different ways. Many people can learn a lot from this book cause we all need to grow up and learn about everything we need to know to live and survive in this world.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you can recognize the relevance of reading these books in class. As a former English teacher, I always tried to choose books based on the relevance of the story to the student, and I'm sure your teacher would be happy to know that you got that connection.
