To Kill A Mocking Bird

Just finished reading Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird. It's a heartwarming tale of the American South-west; when people were settling down into town life and were beginning to question the rights of colour. I loved the innocence of the story told through the eyes of Scout; but took me a while to realise that she was actually a little girl; having no mother to turn  to and only her brother and father to care for her. It’s a shame that the book ended so suddenly and a lot more could have been done for the main character, and could have been developed into a longer story. Will she continue to rebel against the established education system set out for her? Will Scout become a lawyer like her father or settle down into a more lady-like societal role? Will her interest with Dill develop into an adult relationship? Will she drift away from home or remain under Atticus’s and Jez’s care? Up next, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera.
