4.5
I really enjoyed Scout’s narration, her relationship with Jem and Atticus was adorable.
I liked how the town was portrayed and the different ppl in it and how they all had specific and recognisable traits. The story was just told very well imo.
I’d say it’s a must-read as classics go but I really cannot “ignore” the n-word being used, idc that “it was a different time” and I know that it’s authentic bc that is what happened and it’s showcased well by the writing, I just don’t want to see the word written by a white person. If that’s “sensitive”, then I’ll turn it around and ask if being insensitive about it is okay…
Anyway, I’m glad I (finally) read it

My criticism is that it has a problem with white saviourism and I found it hard to believe that Atticus Finches existed back then.

While reading the book, my main thought was constantly wishing to finish the book. Not only was it because I had a deadline coming up, but also it was because I found the book to be predominantly dull. There were many descriptions, characters, scenarios and even chapters that I felt were pointless in including or making a lengthy part of the book when it was unnecessary. A lot of these things included barely contributed to the plot, characters and overall themes. Because of this, the only sections where I had an interest in because they were significant were the
There is another thing in which I found a problem, but this was just my personal preferences. I know that society's attitudes towards some communities were very disrespectful and corrupt at the time of this book. Despite this, I still felt tremendously uncomfortable reading this book because of the language used and the characters, even when aware of this information. It isn't the book's fault, in a way. It's because I don't feel as comfortable reading stuff like this, and I had to read this book for school and wasn't aware of how many things like this are in the book.
A last thing to say is I found too many characters included. Assumingly half mentioned wasn't necessary for anything or were mentioned in only 1-3 unimportant sentences. At one point, there were so many that I couldn't keep track of who was who.
All I was pointing out were negative points, but I like the themes it discusses, and I look forward to analysing the text thoroughly to learn more about those themes for my school work.
