To summarize in More than Words (see how i did that ?" To Kill a Mockingbird

So this week went by pretty fast we turned in that 500 point essay and now no more projects wheee!!! Now we're reading to Kill a Mockingbird which I personally think is gonna be a great book. I haven't seen the movie but i feel as if i wouldn't need to. I'm in the school play for To Kill a Mockingbird and the way the story sets itself up I couldn't wait to read the book. Now some people may say why read the book why not watch the movie but every movie that I've ever seen has no comparison to the actual book (except Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp). Even though i pretty much know the outline of the whole story i still want to read the book because books always give images that only we can interpret in our minds and ours alone and it better understands our point of view when we read. Some people will never know that joy though cause they continue to "watch the movie " that's made from someone else's point of view =(. And I'm really glad that we get to read like a chapter in class to decrease the number of pages (Cause i have theatre afterskool and we tryin to perfect the play for y'all ) so I'm not so tired and the readings easier. I have to admit though i sometimes wish i could read more because its so easy to get into the book when you've seen one vision of it already and now you get the chance to have your own.This was a pretty good week overall ... Byeeee!! Oh and Go Lions!!! woot woot
