Yes. They should. People are cunts. They need to be taught.


Most school kids will think TKaMB is over-rated. But if they develop a proper appreciation for literature they will typically come back to this book and realise how fucking brilliant it is.
Agreed.

Great novel!
Atticus Finch is my hero, and he is beautifully played by gregory peck in the film.
i love the part in the film where scout gets in a big tyre and gem rolls her down the street into boo's front yard. classic!

i didn't like it much.

i had to read the book in class and i just couldn't get through it

so when we watched the movie i got a huge shock when someone died. lol.

good morals to the story though.

i thought it was going to be another one of those boring old classics we have to study. but i actually got into it and found it mildly interesting. can't say that its the best book i have read, but it certainly is not the worst.
but i just dislike reading really long novels on the whole, much prefer short stories and newspaper articles, cuz i dont like to commit myself to a book long term unless its harry potter which i finish in 2 days neway ^_^
I agreed 100% with everything u said lol
harry potter is just about the only books that i have read start to finish in one session ( all dayer) lol

for me tom robinson's death was really powerful, especially the way it's revealed
