"Don't shoot at a mockingbird it's a sin"

   I started reading "To kill a Mockingbird". This isn't really the type of book i would read but I've been wanting to read this book I'm glad to read this book today because it's really inspiring. This book really has to do with coming of age. The two main characters are Jem and Scout. Every kid experince the joy of running around, exploring the world, playing all day. No kid can't say they never did this because kids just want to have these days.But the one thing kids don't realize is that change happens out of the blue. Jem and Scout play a lot in their neighborhood. With Jem and Scout is that they believe anything, in their neighborhood rumors spread fast and stay forever. Jem and Scout's next door neighbor is a bad person in everyones eyes. When change happens to kids it really efects them in life. It can mark them like a scar it changes them big time.
   This book is really a good example of coming of age. I think many kids can relate to this in some way when they we're younger.
