9th Posting

I read till chapter 15. I am currently loving this book. It never gets boring, and it's making me keep want to continue reading. Now the book has moved into a totally new chapter of the novel. Mr. Boo is not in concern for now, but a black person and many whites who still look down on the blacks. The book is now changing from the "fun and intense" part into a somewhat "touching and sad" part. It made me want to finish reading the book right that moment and right in that spot when I finished chapters 9 and 10. Atticus is such a great dad, and Jem is so mature for the age. I was very impressed at all three members of their family. I especially loved the part when Atticus let Scout listen to his conversation with Jack on purpose that night. He's the ideal father.

Feel sorry and bad about Tom Robinson, the black man who was accused of raping a white. According to the way the story is going, unless there is a twist, he is innocent, and he is going to get executed just because the judge is white, and he does not like blacks. Now the whole focus of the novel has moved into Tom from Boo.

Now that I am quite a way with the book, many questions had started to pop up in my head. First of all, I still have no idea why the title is "To Kill a Mockingbird." Is Harper comparing the Mockingbird to Tom? What role does Boo Radley play in this novel? And Jim and other characters? To solve the questions, all I need to do is just read on.
