To Kill a Mockingbird; Part 1

To Kill a Mockingbird has been such a good book so far. You get really engaged into the story because of the numerous characters that give it life. Each of the characters in the novel has a purpose and has their own ways of making you interested in the story. The playfulness of Scout, the adventuress of Jem and Dill and the mystery of Boo Radley all adds to the story. I think that he is my favorite character so far.
Boo Radley reminds me so much of Sloth from The Goonies. The way that Boo is described by all the rumors paints the picture of Sloth. Maybe not necessarily the physical characterizes but the fact that they were both seclude from the outside world by their family. They both also had rumors about them which you are unsure if they are factual or not. In the end of The Goonies, Sloth was nice and not a scary creature like the rumors portrayed him to be. In the story he is the one who supposedly put the blanket on Scout while Miss Maudie's house was on fire. And when Scout and Jem discover the items in the knothole, you want to believe it is Boo who is leaving the items there.
This story is pouring with characters that just grab you and make you want to devour this book. All of the characters so far have something behind them that you are dying to figure out. While reading, you think Atticus is a nice and straight forward kind of guy but you then find out that in his youth he was the best shot in the county, "One-shot Finch." Towards the end of Part 1, you are given a little bit of preview of what is to come in the next part, and you are pulled in. I cannot wait to finish this book and figure out the mystery of Boo Radley.
