What an intriguing story. 也是拿起来就放不下啊。虽然本来打算完成reading list里面正在读的书才开始读它,但是惊觉这本书居然是10几年前,自己英语还狠烂的时候,某个暑假读过的英文书,当时喜欢但是不太能懂,今天读来仍然是很喜欢啊。
翻完的时候终于被这本无聊的书感动到了。如此看来,作者用了一个非常不讨好的叙述结构--即用乏味的流水账开篇直到后半法庭进入小高潮然后是回家遇袭却得救的大高潮。Boo Radley的短暂献身给予了这本小说一种极为有力而有成熟稳重的气息,正如atticus一样,人的温情总是在你需要开门之后看到。Nothin's real scary except in books 勇敢面对生活的糟糕和冷酷 珍惜每一个静静地为你付出温情的人
There are a thousand critical interpretations of To Kill a Mockingbird in a thousand readers' eyes.
The kids are properly raised up by Atticus. They are proper not for convention but for fairness. We need to know something thoroughly whenever possible instead of judging by prejudice. Also children’s life just reminds me of my past childhood, the world is so rich and simple then.
