Murer- Connector Chapters 1-5

              My English 10 Literature class has just started reading Harper Lee's To Kill a Mocking Bird. In this section of the book that we have read, we were introduced to the characters of the book and their lifestyles in Maycomb, Alabama. 
                  Some connections that I can make between the setting of this book and with my home is how small the town is and quiet and sleepy it is. During this book, the Great Depression is going on ,and right now we all can relate to that, and I think that that’s a conflict that we can relate too. Jem and Scout remind me of my cousins who are really close to each other but at times can get sick of each other. They have a lot of fun playing make believe games and having fun during the summer. This fall i read The Help and this story relates to it because of all the racist judgments of colored people and how they are not treated equally.
                   In this part of the book, Scout learns to put herself in other people's shoes and to see things how they see and feel about them. This is a great thing to learn how to do and I think that more people should learn how to do that because by doing that, we all would be able to see things past our point of view and I think that people would be easier to understand, and people would not judge each other. The lesson that Scout is taught is important because I believe that she will be able to use it later on in the book.
