To Kill A Mockingbird, chapters 16-The End.

I have to admit, I did really enjoy this book. I had heard really good things about it, but I also had misconceptions over what it was about. I knew it was about Jem, Scout, and Boo...but it's less about Boo than I thought. The story is obviously very important for Dill, Atticus, and Tom Robinson as well. The one part I really liked about the book was how it addressed Scout and Jem's naivety of the cruel ways of the world. I often feel as though I have had trouble accepting how harsh and unfair things can be, even though I am considerably older than Jem and Scout were in  the novel. Even though the book is from Scout's point of view, I feel as though the reader follows Jem's journey, too. I have a brother and I know that the bond siblings share is not something that can be replicated easily. Scout is acutely aware of her brother's shifts in mood, and the fact that he is at a different point in his maturation than he is. Even though they argue on occasion, they silently make up and are back to being brother and sister. I really liked how Lee portrayed their relationship throughout the book.
