To Kill a Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird continues to be a great book. I am now reading the part of the book where Jean Louise and her brother meet Dill. Dill is related to the Finches family, during the summer time Dill is supposed to go live with his biological father but this summer he decides to run away to his aunts house in Maycomb, Alabama. Dill immediately makes friends with the Finches, the kids play games and what not. Although there is not a word to describe the game they play with the neighbor. There is the mystery about the neighbor.... Atticus knows what the game is all about, and when he see's them playing it he stops them. An important thing said in the section I read, the book said that Atticus is older than many of the other fathers in Maycomb, but although he is older he proves to his children that he can still hunt and do other things. Atticus shot a stray dog that threatened the people of Maycomb with a bite of rabbies. After he shot the dog the his kids had much more respect and seemed to like their dad more cause he was like one of the other dads in town. I continue to like this book, the dialogue is perfect. I cannot stand when a book is over descriptive, or when it has not enough description.
