to kill a mockingbird (the second time around)
so i am almost finished with to kill a mockingbird for the second time. this time around it was so much better. i was totally immersed in this truly moving book. i decided to watch the movie earlier this week and while of course, it is never as good as the book, i loved the inclusion of a particular key quote/concept that transformed beautifully from book to film.
(Atticus to Scout) "First of all, if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-until you climb in his skin and walk around in it."
such a great topic for a classroom discussion! :)
