[Ishi]

3. Fav parts
-(view spoiler)[ i) The Trial! The way Atticus handled the cross-examinations and made sure that Tom Robinson, a negro, got a chance to say his side, was wonderful.
A pity really that the jury made Tom guilty. (hide spoiler)]

[Ishi]

@Divi: Maybe. Maybe not. You really think I'm gonna give u a straight answer for this one?? :P

@Ginny: Okay Ginnypie :)

[Ishi]

4. Fav quote
- (view spoiler)[Our nightmare had gone with daylight, everything would come out all right.
As unlikely as it may seem, this is one of my most fav quotes. It just kinda...shows that with daylight, everything would turn out better. (hide spoiler)]

1. (view spoiler)[ ' Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.'

One of my favorite quotes too, this one. Like Miss Maudie said, mockingbirds are innocent and, like them, Tom Robinson was also innocent. But Atticus told them not to kill it, and Tom is killed. (hide spoiler)]

2. (view spoiler)[ Atticus. Atticus Atticus Atticus. I LOVED HIM. He is just so kind and understanding and he doesn't have mood swings with his children and is an awesome parent and I can just go on and on. Scout comes in as a close second :D (hide spoiler)]

3. (view spoiler)[ Court wala scene and both times Boo Radley came out are absolute favorites. Boo Radley scenes because BOO RADLEY CAME!!!!!! I was way too excited to continue reading after those scenes :P And Court scene because...you know. The way Atticus presents his argument is splendid. Stupid jury. :| (hide spoiler)]

4.(view spoiler)[ Honestly, the whole book is quotable. I'll try to include some of my favorites:

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.


Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "Your father’s right," she said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.


Dill was off again. Beautiful things floated around in his dreamy head. He could read two books to my one, but he preferred the magic of his own inventions. He could add and subtract faster than lightning, but he preferred his own twilight world, a world where babies slept, waiting to be gathered like morning lilies.

And so many more, but I didn't keep track of them :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Ishi]

Character :
Did/ didn't like...,
(view spoiler)[Atticus - Of course loved.
Calpurnia - Liked a lot!
Aunt Alexandra - She was... good at heart, but, I still didn't like her that much.
Jem - Just the good but silly elder brother he was. Liked.
Scout - How can I dislike our narrator?? :O :P
Dill - He's a good kid. Run away maybe, but good at heart. Liked.
Tom Robinson - Innocent enough and framed. Of course liked.
Ms Maudie (?) - She was a tough cookie! Of course I liked her :D (hide spoiler)]

Why did you start with numbering when you had to tell only one favourite part? ? :P

Where was this quote??? :O
I only remember : "Things are always better in the morning.”
This is one of my favourites :D

[Jarvis]

@Divi..... 1. That's one of my favourites! :D Also, (view spoiler)[when scout says, “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?” Love it! (hide spoiler)]

2. I like Jem too! :D

3. (view spoiler)[ I too loved the scenes with Boo Radley! He is another favourite character! :D Also I loved the part in the end when Atticus was talking to Tate, and Radley stood away from them, so Scout sat with him so that he is not alone, but she didn't burst his bubble of 'introvertishness', she just sat there to give him company! (hide spoiler)]

4. Honestly, I agree, it is too difficult to list out 'favourite' quote, 'cos either you won't be able to decide, or you will quote the whole book! :D

[Ishi]

@Ginny: I dunno. I'm confused. I had some other scene in mind but I forgot :O
I'll edit it later maybe :O

[Jarvis]

[Ishi]

Fong and weird smileys had a connection, I think :P
He got busy, shayad :P

[Jarvis]

LOL XD
Maybe you're right...:P

[Jarvis]

Actually, I had this sudden realization that the people who are toooo lazy to do things just near the deadline are organized.... :P :P :P

[Ishi]

:-O :-O :-D
See, we can work if we want to, okay? :P
And I like spreadsheets, so.. :P

[Jarvis]

But still, my realization is great na? :P :P

Organized people are too lazy to search for their things and scared of deadlines so I prefer to be unorganized, so that I am not lazy..... O.O

XD

[Ishi]

Welll, whatever u think is right :P
