To Kill a Mockingbird

I started a new outside reading book, To Kill a Mockingbird instead of Black Hawk Down.
To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in Maycomb, Alabama. A quick overview on the main characters: Atticus is the main character he is the father of Jean Louise and her brother idk. By the way the book started I can tell it will be a great book. One of the things I really like in this book is the characters. I admire the main character Atticus or Mr. Finch. Atticus is an only parent raising two children in the great depression. Amongonst raising his children he is a lawyer. Atticus is not your average lawyer, he takes his job personally. I know from personal expierence that majority of lawyers don't take their job personally. Atticus takes his job personally, he seems to have morals and ethics. Atticus seems down to earth, hard working, and very conservative. It seems obvious to me that Atticus is a dedicated dad, considering his situation in life. While he takes he job personally he has to try to not to bring his job into the presence of his inocent children. Atticus is a well known but most importantly, well respected. Overall, so far I really like this book, I sure hope it continues to be great.
