- I'm a lot different from Scout. Scout is one to say what is one her mind immediately, without much regard of what someone might think. I will think about something before I say it most of the time, simply to prevent from hurting others or to getting myself into a situation that I don't want to be in.
- This story could have been a lot different if it were based in a different time period. For example, sense it was based in the Depression Era the jury of the Tom Robinson case were all white men, who in that time where strongly persuaded by race. And sense Tom Robinson was black, he was not favorable to be proven innocent. If it were to have taken place in the present, the jury would be a mix of different ethnicitys, and genders. Most likely what would have happened is Tom Robinson would have been proven innocent based on the case and evidence provided by Atticus.
- If I could trade places with one of the characters, I would choose to take Jem's place. I would pick to be him because he always looks out after his sister and Dill. I find that very endearing and something that I would strive to be like.
- If I were the main character,Scout, I wouldn't have acted much different. Sense she was only 6 to 8 through out the story, I probably would've acted the same way when I was that age. Also, she made some really smart decisions throughout the story that I might not have made when I was 6.
- One of the characters that I didn't like was Mayella Ewell. I didn't like her because she accused an innocent man, Tom Robinson, of raping her. Although she did it to protect her father from getting in trouble for beating her, she was old enough to know that she could get help and get out of the abusive situation with her father.
- I really like To Kill a Mockingbird, and I would recommend it to others. The reason I would do that is because Lee does a good job telling the story and has multiple themes that anybody could relate to.
- One of the main themes that Lee was trying to get across in the book is the human nature, and how there is both good and evil in the world. One example of this occurred in the end of the book, when Bob Ewell attack Jem and Scout. In this example, Jem and Scout are the "good". Jem and Scout were innocent and had nothing to do with what Atticus said during the Tom Robinson, but Bob, the "evil", got back at Atticus by going after his children.

- One of the characters that evolve in the story is Scout. In the beginning of the story, she is really unaware of what what things are like in others' shoes. She learns from Atticus and her own experiences that you shouldn't judge people before you know what it's like in their shoes. This also goes along with one of the themes of the story.
- The book really reveals how the author, Haper Lee, views the world. It shows that she views all people having good and bad qualities and that racism and prejudice still lives with us in our communities and they may come from the people that we least expect.
- This book didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all.
