To Kill A Mockingbird

Core Competency Reflection

When I first started reading the book, I exercised my creative writing by how I observed and interpreted some scenes with how the children would react to the world around them. They would see things in one way, but as the reader I’d try to adapt and see what was really happening in some scenes.

Throughout the story, I believe I also utilized my critical thinking in how I used to think one thing about the characters, such as how I thought the father may have been too neglectful, to changing my view to fit the worldbuilding as I learned more about him.

Finally, my reflective thinking came into play during the second half of the book. I could recognize the differences between our world now compared to then, and I could recognize the similarities, such as with the heavy themes of racial discrimination.

Overall, I definitely recommend the book. Although the pacing may be slow at times, it quickly changes and becomes an engaging experience. Looking forward, I hope to find more informative and eye-opening books as they help to navigate the world around me.
