I am doing a poll for school of the people who have read To Kill A Mockingbird... Who enjoyed it?

Question

Yes, or no? what did you like? or dislike?

Answer 1

I've read it twice and enjoyed it very much both times (decades apart). To a reader from the Upper South, its depiction of small-town Southern life is sometimes hilariously or heartbtreakingly familiar and at other times chilling and eye-opening. I know several communities with at least one white-trash clan like the Ewells and one good-ol'-boy clan like the Cunninghams/Conynghams. Parts I especially liked were the fact that, when Scout starts to school, she can already read and write because the cook has taught her and the incident (probably a favorite with most readers) in which quiet, bookish Atticus, pushing up his glasses, shoots the mad dog.

Answer 2

The first part is really dull- I'm sure even if you live in the deep south that you'd agree. The setting doesn't seem bleak but dull.
Part 2 is the book's saviour, and whilst i did not overly like the book (i feel it's over-hyped) i did like atticus and the points in the book where he becomes more passionate/desparate.
Scout is a very boring narrator and I think the book would be better if the children were merely observers and not intruders.
I prefer more artistic books, something more vivid

Answer 3

My favorite book ever!!!! I read it when i was a freshman, about two years ago, and i loved it. I mean at first it started out slow, but it really made me think about society and the court room, as a matter of fact that book is one of the reason's that i want to be a lawyer when i finish college. I want to do everything in my power to be like Atticus and defend the weak to the best of my ability, and let the truth be known even if the jury and judge decide other wise.

Answer 4

Yes I liked it but it made me sad that despite Attius's efforts the innocient black man was put to death just b/c he was black. But I was glad that Boo Radly never went to jail for defending Scout agains't the evil bad guy.
I read it in high school english several times b/c I am a very fast reader.

Answer 5

I read it in school. I think I had a pretty neutral reaction. Interestingly enough, my grandparents both just read it in the past few months. They enjoyed having the glimpse into southern life and how it was at that time.

Answer 6

Yes. I liked the fact that the lawyer was willing to stand up for what was right, regardless of the majority and the norm. I also liked how down-to-earth he and his family was.

Answer 7

I idid and I got it at a young age right around the civil rights goings on's so it was very impactful.

Answer 8

i read that book last year in my english class, and i loved it, it's one of my favorites now. i love scout! i think my favorite part was when she found the gum in the hallow tree and she says, "i put some in my mouth and when i did not die i stuffed it in my mouth." =)
