Book Report II

I. Introduction/ General Information of the book:
To Kill a Mocking Bird
Harper Lee
Non-Fiction

II.Characters:
Scout Finch
Scout is a kid who is someone who is supportive to her father because when there were kids who said her father was a "NIGGER" Lover she was just so protective at her father's actions, and because of this I can say that she's a family girls and that she loves her family so much. Some of her conflicts was when Bob Ewell decided to attack the 2 of them, Scout and Jem. The solution to that problem was great timing as they were saved by Boo, a mysterious man in their neighborhood. Another problem was when children from them kept on teasing her. the solution was just courage.

I can relate with Scout whenever she decides to be a strong and courageous girl for her family.


Supports:
Jem Finch
Her younger brother who broke his arm while playing football.

Atticus Fich
Scout's father who has decided to help a black person. He was a target of Bob Ewell when Ewell was humiliated by the case where Tom Robinson raped his daughter.

Bob Ewell
The father of the victim of whom Tom Robinson raped. He vowed revenge to Atticus because his pride was hurt, even though their family won the case.

III Setting
The Place is in Maycomb,Alabama, a not so nice place to say a black guy raped my white girl. I can say this because some kids would call Scout and Jem's father as a Nigger Lover, they even used the "N" word. The place would be good if the protagonist would be black. It would make his conflict even greater and better since he would have many adventures.

The time is when it was at its poor state, the people had to be very busy. Luckily the protagonist's father was a Lawyer so the money would be easy. The time would make a great action story because its a time where people would search money in anyway, even do some illegal things. The time would make a lot of actions and also a lot of drama.

IV Plot:
Jem Finch's arm got broke after playing some good old football. After that incident, they have been taught over about the incident but he got it broken again after a conflict.

Early one morning, the kids were supposed to do their daily routine where first was playing in their back yard. When suddenly, they heard something next door on their neighbor's collard patch. they checked it and saw a man sitting their and looking at them.

The kids saw a twine one time and when the third time they saw it at the same place they just kept it for themselves and made a finders keepers losers weepers rule for themselves.

Their aunt Alexandra ignored Scout's question and made Scout just think about their bad memories like times when they made a conflict.

Dill visited them again and when it was night already men were standing outside their home and was searching for Scout's father. Conflict might happen.

While returning from their party, Jem and Scout felt someone at their back and felt a strong sense of danger. While they were running Scout fell to the ground and Jem rolled to her. They suddenly felt someone carrying them and were running while carrying them.

V.Theme:
When you try to help someone be careful you might just be in danger. That is something what I have learned from the book and it might also be what the author wants me to tell, unless this is a parable or something. I saw this because whenever they tried to help something bad happened like when Atticus helped Tom he got himself in trouble of Ewell and when Boo decided to save the 2 kids from Ewell he knew that they would be followed.
When Boo was running from Ewell the only solution he could think of is going to go home or go to the kids' home and stay with Atticus. He did that solution and from their Ewell died from self stabbing or he fell from his knife. Good thing Boo went home immediately.

VI. Evaluation:
I like the stupid reason of Ewell for killing, revenge for humiliation. I like the book because of many stupidities I can see like how Ewell died, the what you see what you get of Jem and Scout and also Ewell reason for killing. I also think that the book would be funny. Anyways a nice book it is.

The old man and the sea...

I Introduction/General Information about the Book:
Title: The Old man and the Sea
Author:  Ernest Hemingway
Type of book: Fiction
II Characters:
Main character: The Old man/Santiago
This character is very old and weak but he still fishes. This character's problem comes when there were only few fishes that come by. I can identify with the character when he either thinks about fishing or when he thinks about the boy. He also wanted the boy to there when he went fishing.
The Young boy- this boy is very cheerful and is there with the old man.
Martin, the owner- this man is very kind to give some quality food to the poor. He gave The Old man and the boy some fried bananas and many more food.
III Setting:
The place of the story is somewhere in the Central American location, I can say this due to this phrase "I can always come in on the glow from Havana."
The time of the story is somewhere in the old school days due to the still in baseball, now the in is basketball.
The setting just is hard to find anyways its in the sea. It makes the story fascinating.
IV Plot:
The event started when the boy wanted to go with the Old man but he said to stay with his parents who has lucky boats.
Then
The 2 talked about baseball and their manager.
Then
the 2 went to prepare for the old man's fishing.
Then
The old man slept and dreamed about the feeling of being in Africa.
Then 
The Old man left to go fishing.
Then
The boy still cared for the old man when he has made his arrival.
V Theme:
In this story I have learned that it needs faith and perseverance to succeed. The old man work very hard and all hardship has a problem if passed has something great.
The Old man had little water left,while in the trip of fishing, and decided to search for one when he found one in his boat.
VI Evaluation:
The book has many adventure but the old man is just in the sea and in most pages his the only one. So, it's kinda like boring.
