To Kill a Mockingbird

If I could transfer the story of Scout to my neighborhood it would be a much more exciting place. There would be a lot more adventure and such, I would love it if I lived in a neighborhood like that. I don't know if I would change anything, I like all of the adventures they have and the excitement/amusement they get over the littlest things. I would keep the character Boo Radley the same and the Finch family. The Radley home really intrigues the kids which I like. I do believe I would be friends with Scout if she lived in my neighborhood, but Dill and Jem on the other hand I don't know if I could be friends with. They seem like they are both trouble makers, which I wouldn't care for. I would make great memories with these characters, we would have so many adventures.

Mary Oliver Quote

The quote "Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." is a very basic outlook on life. I don't believe that there is any deeper meaning to this quote, I believe it means exactly what it says. She's saying pay attention, you never know when you will learn something, if you aren't showing any type of excitement life would be very boring, then if you don't tell about it nobody would learn anything or they may not have any excitement in their life.
