To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee

The Reading Process

The difficulties I encountered while reading this book, was waiting for the climax to happen. It was very boring in the beginning of the book. After the reading the first ten chapters, it became easier to follow along and read. Multiple parts of the book surprised me, most scenes revolving around Tom Robinson. I also enjoyed the moral of the story, and how the name of the book connects with the book itself. ‘To kill a mocking bird’ resembles the killing of something so pure and innocent. The structure of the writing was well put together as well.

Core Competency Reflection

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by listening to others in different discussions. When building an understanding on a topic I am not familiar with, I try my best to listen to others thoughts and opinions.

One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is listening to music or taking a brain break around the school. Taking a break helps me the most, that is when my mind starts working and I think of new ways to do something. When I get overworked, taking a break from the activity helps me most.

I appreciate feedback on my work I prefer it comes in the forms of friendliness and niceness. Being to harsh with feedback can tear someone’s mental health down. Being told in the forms of negativity won’t make you want to change. When receiving valuable feedback, your tone and the way you approach a person matters the most.
