I have a confession to make: I was about as deep as a puddle in high school. I know most of us shake our heads at our teenage selves. Just wanted to get that out in the open first. Now I harken back to 16 year old me because I was forced to read this book. Just as I felt when I reread Lord of the Flies, I so was not emotionally prepared for this book in highschool.to me it was so annoying kids with a lawyer father. But no. It was a perfect way of contrasting and emerging justice with an outdated way of looking at things. Scout was the cry-out to hold on to new morals. To love and understand just for the sake of it. To realize that you need to put yourself on someone else's porch for a different point of view. No, the second time around I loved this book!
