The Book That May... Or May Not Have Changed My Life :]

To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee has influenced many people with the skilled writing and intriguing story, but has also personally impacted my life... This book has many lessons, metaphors, and other things that have taught me a lot and will help me in the future. For example, my vocabulary has broadened because of this book; the weekly vocabulary test helps build vocab rather than repeating the same word over, and over, and over... and over. The language in the book is much different than most of the books that are written currently and is interesting.
Another example of a lesson that I have gotten out of this book is, as Atticus mentions many, many times, when Scout quotes him, "One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them." (279) This is a great quote that shows that Atticus's ideas got through to other characters in the book, and I believe it is a great lesson to follow. You shouldn't judge a person, especially when you don't know them. That has made me realize that everyone should be treated equally even if they are mean, etc. and I try to remember that as much as possible. Therefore, this book has DRAMATICALLY changed my life... Even though I was  kidding, I truly think that this book has impacted my life in a good way! The End. =P
