So I read the book for the first time ever, and loved it!

Anyone wanna chat to me about it?

[Liezel]

I read this in school and even though I liked it back then, I still thought of it as a so-so book. I was probably too young to appreciate it. In my mind Boo Radley became larger than life and Atticus was but a bit player.
Having re-read it recently, I can now see what the fuss is about and loved it. I have a new appreciation for Atticus

[Lu]

I also love Atticus!

Did I understand the ending correctly? That Boo stabbed Ewell and the sheriff wanted to keep him out of it, so he said that he fell on his knife?

[Liezel]

yes, that's correct, isn't that where they made the comparison to the mockingbird

[Lu]

Ah thought so! I think they made that connection earlier?
