Lawrence Arnow asked Lucy Blue:

Did you have to identify with the character to like "To Kill A Mockingbird" so much or did the story have anything to do with it?

Lucy Blue That's a good question, but I'm not sure I can answer it. I'll never have the experience of reading the story as someone who didn't identify so strongly with Scout, so I don't know. I think I would have liked it just as well; I think Harper Lee made the story vivid enough that anyone could get lost in it and feel for the characters the way I did. But I can't be sure.
