  • Say it aint so, Atticus Finch

    I guess most people unrealistically idealize their parents when they're six.

    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

        Thanks SU. Good review -- I liked the last paragraph:

        One of the emotional through-lines in both “Mockingbird” and “Watchman” is a plea for empathy — as Atticus puts it in “Mockingbird” to Scout: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.” The difference is that “Mockingbird” suggested that we should have compassion for outsiders like Boo and Tom Robinson, while “Watchman” asks us to have understanding for a bigot named Atticus.
