An Adventure in Reading.
Today I'm in Maycomb, Alabama, in 1935. It's a hot summer day, and I've been at the courthouse for the trial of Tom Robinson. (I'm reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Actually, I'm re-reading this novel from my high school senior lit class because of its 50th anniversary.)
I read this for the first time as a substitute teacher as the class was discussing questions. I took the book home for the night and loved it. Then I was still with the class as we watched the movie. It's hard to sob in a class with teenagers.
ReplyDeleteraidergirl3: I just got the movie from NetFlix. I'll be sure to have my tissues ready!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I also got this book to re-read, now that I've finished reading Scout, Atticus, and Boo:
