My favourite character is Atticus.
Atticus is a very caring father, and a very idealistic person at the same time. He is very fair and is not swayed by the town's common hate for Negro's. He is totally impartial and is fair to every person.
Atticus cares for the poor the rich the blacks and the whites, and do not neglect them. I feel that this kind of person would be someone I would really like to know, but considering that fact that he is too good a person to actually exist, I think I would never get to know someone as nice as Atticus.

The ending surprised me AND did not surprise me.
It surprised me in the way that Boo actually spoke for the first time, and they way that Boo suddenly becomes a nice person after he was depicted to be a monster from the beginning of the book.
It however, did not surprise me as Bob Ewell died. All stories end like this. In fact, it was a little too expected. If I were the writer I would have made the ending more special and unique

I emphasized most with Tom Robinson as I followed the action in the courtroom. This is because the book basically had been written in a style that creates the most empathy with him. The book makes Bob Ewell appear rude and unlikeable. The book does so for Mayella also, but also generates some pity for her as she has "no friends". I do not believe however, that she deserves any pity as she lied in court for her own sake. We should never discriminate anyone based on their skin colour. They did nothing wrong except for being black.
Term 1 LA test
I wasnt very happy with my test results. It was my first B4 in my life.
The topic was "compromise", which means mutual agreement on something. I have to admit, I dont really know anything about compromise that had happened in real life. In the end I had to resort to writing something I was unfamiliar with. I failed horribly.
I really have to change my attitude in LA. I have to admit, i was just lazy and didnt really care about LA. This post is also a rushed one just for ACE points I have to admit. But maybe its not only my laziness. Maybe its my time management too.
Nowadays Im getting really busy. I have SYF, March Camp, Music Exam... and alot of things on top of that. At least now my music exam is out of the way, I hope that I'm able to manage my time well.
And how am I going to do that?
Firstly to improve LA I want to read more books, get exposed to more historically significant events, get exposed to more values... get exposed to more of the problems in the world. I must also be more organised in my thoughts. Only if I do that would I be able to do well in not only LA, but everything in life.

Leaving people out of a group...
Although now I hate people who make fun of others or leave them out on some important things, i know reflect that I was once like that too.
In my old class 1i2 there was someone who was, you can say, different from all of us. He always did stupid things and scored very badly for results causing our class MSG to drop. Truthfully we all hated him. Even me. But know, thinking back about it , i shouldnt have done all the things that we did to irritate him. We always called his name wrongly, we would make fun of him behind his back, we would do a lot of things that are very irritating. But he managed to keep calm. Truthfully, I trust that he didnt mean to do that... that he was a nice guy deep deep down. Anyone who sees this post probably would know who I am talking about.
He's not in our class anymore.
He has left our life forever.
There is no more chance for us to seek forgiveness...
It's all just too late...

As I read Scout's experiences in TKAM, I remembered some things that I have done as a small little child which I think is quite childish to me now. I remembered that I used to go down to the play ground and play a game my friends and I called 'mission'. I don't really remember what it was like, but what I know was that it was basically going around the area, not touching things of a certain colour, or only touching things of a certain colour, or, we might also be playing catching under a certain theme, like a murder, or theft and we would assume one of us to be the "bad guy". I remembered this as in TKAM, there was the scene where the three kids would act out some stories, and make stories about Boo Radley and act them out.
Analyzing Literature
1. The three of them tested their courage by trying to touch Boo's door. This tested their courage as they pictured Boo as a monster whom will kill them all if they got to near, and they would die if they touched Boo and a lot of stuff like that.
2. They find a sculpture of they themselves, and some bubble gum. Apparently whoever put things into the knothole knew that they were taking stuff from it and wanted to give them things. This was probably Boo as after a while Nathan Radley sealed up that tree. This shows that Boo wasn't the monster that everyone thought him to be. Also, during the fire, Boo had put a blanket on Scout. He had also found Jem's pants for him.
3.They had insulted her father as a nigger-lover. I can thus see that Maycomb is actually a very discriminative place, where Negros and everyone who did not hate them were outlawed and hated.
