When did you first read To Kill A Mockingbird? What did you think of it when I read it?
I first read the book on my own in 6th grade. I remember liking it, but not fully "getting" it. Mostly, I was pleased that I'd read a classic that kids didn't normally read until high school. I read it for school in 9th grade when I was able to comprehend the social commentary much better. It was at that point that To Kill A Mockingbird became a truly beautiful and special book.
This is such a great film. The actress who plays Scout is incredible. Thanks for hosting such an original giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie yet, and I only read it about 2 years ago. It was so weird that we were never made to read it at school.
ReplyDeleteI first read it in 9th or 10th grade and watched the film a few years later. I've probably reread it 2 or 3 times since. I love this book. And, the town where Harper Lee lived, Monroeville, Alabama, is only a few hours drive from my home in Florida. Every summer they have a Harper Lee/To Kill a Mockingbird Festival, where the play is performed. I have never been but it's most definitely on my bucket list:) Looking forward to the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see a classic movie come to DVD! My mom may get it for her classroom.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this movie for the first time, it was right after we had finished reading it in class. I love the powerful message it gives.
