Now that Tom is guilty, I am pretty positive that the Mockingbird is Tom. I think Atticus will somehow relate his hunting story of killing a mockingbird to executing Tom. I got this feeling because even though Atticus was very good at hunting, too good that once even called "one-shot Finch," he never even mentioned about it to his children. I think there must be a deep, long story behind it. I hope I can finish this book soon.

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.

I read until chapter 9, and more and more things are being revealed about Boo Radley. Scout hears from Miss Maudie that she does not believe Boo is crazy. The surprise presents of the knothole on the oak continues to appear until it gets blocked by Mr. Nathan Radley, brother of Mr. Boo Radley. It is obvious that the presents were placed there for Scout and Jem, becaue once there were little sculptures of Scout and Jem. They assume that it is Mr. Boo who fixed Jem's jeans, and who put on the blanket on Scout when she was outside because there was fire on Miss Maudie's house. I wonder when Mr. Boo will show himself to the kids that he apparently cares so much.
The life is still full of adventure and fun. I started to feel jealous about Scout's life, because even though her life is just a daily routine, she is enjoying that routine. I wish I can get a little positive about my daily routine, and get to live it full of happy thoughts, such as "I wonder what is going to happen next?"

Now the biggest issue is how Scout is going to survive the school, and "Boo" Radley. I am pretty sure that she is going to find a fun, adventurous way to survive through the school and the pressures of Miss Caroline. For "Boo," I am not sure what is going to happen. One thing suspicious is the knothole in the oak tree of Mr. Boo's. Why is there 2 things every time? Why does things always come out when Scout passes it, and not anybody else? Could it be Mr. Radley who is putting the objects in the knothole? If so, then why? There are many questions to be solved throuh this novel.

I was very touched by the last chapter of this book. When everything was found out and their sentences were obvious, Mrs. Hubbard, who is taking the greatest part in this whole story, asks Mr. Poirot to let the others go and just arrest her alone. Even though it was cruel and wrong to murder a person, I still feel sympathy towards the murderers. While reading about the Armstrongs in the previous chapters, I found out that they just had to kill Ratchett. The feeling of having to do something that they know is wrong because it is tolerating is pretty awful, just from thinking about it.

I feel really glad because now something more interesting is about to happen. Who is the murderer? What is the importance of the scarf, pipe, etc.? In my opinion, I think there is more than one, probably several, murderer to this crime. I have no clue who those people are yet however.

There is absolutely no clue about the murderer yet. Small things of his doings are getting uncovered, but the clues do not match perfectly. I really wonder what new clues are going to get discovered, and what the identity of the murderer is.
