I finally finished reading the book "To kill a mockingbird"by Harper lee. This book was very different from any book I have ever read because the book i never read about that really wasn't about action which this book really didn't have. The main character in this book really didn't grow that much on the outside as much as she did on the inside. She really grew on the inside by learning a lot from what happened to her through out this book. Her father and her brother really helped her grow by the advice which were very interesting. She grew through the racism in the little town of Maycomb by sticking with her father and her brother Jem. This book was really helped to write about my COA project because my project is on sexual abusing which this book has to do at the end where Atticus the father of the main character of this book represented a black man that represented. By the end of this book Scout became mature even though she didn't reach adulthood and learned a lot about life that was both bad and good.
The people that helped Scout grow up affected her both in a good way and in a bad way. The person his her life that mostly affected her life was her father Atticus. Atticus was probably the smartest person in this book because he was the one that taught and encouraged Scout to do things that would teach her a smart lesson but not as a punishment. Another quote that he said that really stoke out to me was "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" This was very interesting and weird quote because it means that you will never learn how a person lives it ill you actually live their life. Scout's father really helped her by teaching her many important things but also put her life in danger. When Atticus represented the black man who supposedly raped a girl. Bob, the father of the girl that got raped lied that Tom, the black man, raped his daughter and Tom was considered guilty and sent to jail. He later tried to escape but got shot to death. In court Bob got kind of embarrassed by Atticus and the judge so he wanted revenge against him. He tried to get revenge on him by rapping/attacking his daughter Scout. But luckily the strange kid named Boo Radley appeared and helped them. Boo Radley had opened up because he never came out of his house before in till now. Boo stabbed Bob and killed him and saved Jem and Scout. Scout's father put her in danger and almost got her killed for trying to save a black man from getting put into jail. This was something that changed both Atticus and Scout because in a way they both opened up in different ways that made them think differently about each other.
At the end of this book Scout really didn't grow as much as the outside as much as she did on the inside. Scout learned a lot of things and grew throughout the book. The experiences that happened to her throughout the book made her grow. The most important part of this book changed her and made her grow up. This was when Boo Radley helped her and her brother Jem from getting attacked by Bob. When this happened Scout and Boo started to relate to each other. They related to each other because in different ways they both opened up and became older. Boo opened up by finally getting out of his house and Scout opened up by learning that Boo isn't who she thought he was. After this happened, Scout matured because when she saw Hi Boo" but then she corrected herself and said "Hi Mr. Arthur. This shows that she matured because she now saw Boo as another person, more like an adult because he opened up as well as she did.
By the end of this book almost everybody experienced coming of age. Everyone in this book except Scout and Boo changed and matured into different people. Every book that I have ever read never ended like this. The end of this book was very kinding because Atticus and his kids started to read book together at night on a couch like a family. The things that happened to her and what she experienced will probably help her when she reaches adulthood because now she knows what life is really about and that life isn't easy but could be very difficult and hard which Harper Lee was trying to say about coming of age.
