BIG reading.

           with thirty pages left in to kill a mocking bird, the last, and most interesting thyme i want to talk about is age. scout, Jem and dill are all around ten years old, they are symbols of innocence and purity in this book. The scenes that scream out to me the most are the ones where the grown ups talk to scout about how young she is and how she will change when she grows up. What i find interesting about this is that the book is written from when scout is older, which means that by that time she has changed. -if the grown ups that told her she would are correct-  One specific scene that i found really interesting was the one where Jem and scout talk about the groups in Maycomb. this was a moment where two themes i was tracking came together. social class, and "age"/maturity. i felt that both scout and Jem were right. scout, younger and more accepting and Juvenile said that everyone was equal, and that no one class was better. Jem, said that there were classes and that the people in higher classes were supposed to treat the people below them differently because they would Hate the people below their class. i think this was a point where Jem and scout were getting to an idea where no one person is better, but in reality, people create classes because they want to keep people "in their place".
