I was wondering if anyone else here read To Kill A Mocking Bird? It was a really good book, but I need some ideas for a summer project.
I have to make 5-10 journal entries from the viewpoint of Tom Robinson on how he felt? Any ideas?

This was an amazing book. I would make the journal entries at different times of the book. Like how he was thinking when certain major events were happening. Starting with his life as a cripple, to getting special attention from a white girl, to her beginning to like him...stuff like that

It's the best book ever!

Tommrrow I'll dish out my english text book and find all my notes on Tom
But I guess, Tom saw the world typically as any black man would in those days, but rather than resenting white people, he accepted the way it was, because there were those like Atticus Finch who stood up for people like him. And also Tate did.

When he made a break from prision, he knew the risk he was taking, but like Atticus said- he wanted to play it his way for once. He was sick of taking orders from a white man, sick of having to live with rascism and all that. And yeh- he did get shot, but he died doing things his way- and he sure as hell knew that no jury would ever let a black man get away. There is an excellent quote about this from Atticus Finch, somewhere in the chapter when Atticus is telling Jen and Scout why he did it

How very poetic of you, Suz. I've never seen this side of you before

I liked TKAM. Just read it last year for school. I also read Lord of the flies though. Like that more than TKAM. That's just my opinion though

Anyway, yeah take Hydro's idea. it's a good one

The movie isn't that much different from the book.
It was an AWESOME book.
I just can't remember much.

I always mix it up with Bud Not Buddy.

I read it for school in 9th grade. It was okay but there was a little to much symbolism in for me.

Thanks everyone!

It seems like a very popular book for 9th grade.

Boring book, IMO. It may have been better, but being forced to read it for English made it suck.

[foogie]

I had to read that for.... *thinks* grade.... D: I don't remember what grade.... awesome book though...

[Plew]

that book was fantanstic. my favorite character was Dill because he is pimp

[mobster281]

I read it in high school. I didnt like it very much

[xZel]

I am amazed that so many people like this book. IMO it was absolutely horrible. I thought the whole story could have easly been brought down into a 10 page picture book. The whole beginning was crap and the ending was what any normal person would expect.

Yeah.

This book may be better for younger audiences, but once you hit highschool it gets super boring. I enjoyed reading Romeo and Juliet more than To Kill A Mockingbird. Mercutio pwns everyone.

I'm going into 9th and I found it good, you may be right as I dont think I would read that again in the later years of highschool.

I read it in 9th and it sucked. Its way too overrated. I do not know how people can praise this book so much.
