2. What a great book. Atticus has been my father figure forever
The writing in this book is so good. Yes it is easy to read, but it reads so well and the style and details are just, well, really good. I wish she had written more. This is also one of the few times I felt the movie and the book worked well together. Atticus has been my father figure since I was young. I have thought of him when being a parent also, trying to model myself after such a calm, caring, reasonable person. My uppity side gets the better of me often, and I am glad to be able to think of him.

3. That would be Scout of course! That's why I chose the moniker.

5. This is a movie that gets better and better each time I see it.
I'm beginning to think it's the greatest American movie made. There isn't a single flaw in the whole movie. It's more enjoyable than Citizen Kane or 2001 and better than the overrated Casablanca.

7. I always identified with Scout, and I always wanted a dad like Atticus.

9. Atticus, he was a great role-model for his children
When I was a child, I wished that I had a parent with his qualities.

12. Boo Radley,
I particularly liked the version with Bill the Cat as Boo. Kill More Mockin Bird I believe it was called.
