TKAM IS HONESTLY JUST GREAT

When I hear the words “a work of literary merit,” I normally think that means if my book is a good book. But, I feel like there is a lot more meaning to those words. I feel like literary merit means that a book is so well written and popular that when writers are writing or English teachers are teaching courses, they must always go back to this book a reference something from it, whether it be specific passage or a literary device. The book has to provide some type of significance importance in the literary world in order for it to be considered “a work of literary merit.” I personally think that To Kill A Mockingbird is a work of literary merit because it has been referenced or mentioned so many times that I can’t even count. There are so many passages in the book that have significance not only to the book, but to the outside world as well. For example, the title itself connects to the real world by saying it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. I love the message behind this because it explains that you cannot kill innocent people because all they have done is good for the community around them. While reading TKAM, many life lessons have been explained throughout the book and I felt like it was an entertainment book as much as it was a life lesson book. 

About ettenel moon

Let me start off by introducing myself. Hi! I am ettenel moon. Notice how I did not capitalize my name. Want to know why? Well I won’t tell you why because that will ruin the mystery of who I really am, and I like being mysterious.

Honestly, from the first grade to maybe sixth or seventh grade, I can confidently say I was obsessed with reading. Every time there was a book fair, I was so excited to get a free book and I even loved those scholastic book catalogs even when no one else seemed to be interested in them. As a kid, I never had anything to do in my house. We had basic cable so watching TV was out of the question and my family did not get a real computer with internet until the sixth grade so surfing the internet for hours was out of the question too. Books were the only things that would keep me busy from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep.

Now though, I would not say I am the best reader. I never pick up a book unless I have to read it for school. I feel like I am always reading for a grade and never for actual pleasure and it just gets boring to me. Hopefully, this blog will make me enjoy reading again because I actually do want to get back into reading. I felt like I was Einstein when I reading books that no one else was reading. But to close out, I hope all you book readers and bloggers enjoy my precious little blog and I really hope you all read the books that I am going to talk about!
