Corner View - Famous

This weeks theme is famous and I can’t think of anything right now except for this book.

I think it’s famous – or well known at least.

Mockingbirdfirst

Have you read it?

I just finished reading it again a couple of days ago.

The first time I read it was back in 10th grade because we had to as a class.  But this time around I read it because I wanted too. I love the story. the humor, and how social issues are viewed through the lens of a young girl.

It’s a wonderful book.  

Here are a couple of quotes from Atticus Finch – one of the main characters.

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
- spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
- spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

I think we all need and Atticus in our lives.

For more famous visit Theresa who is hosting CV for Jane. Thanks Don for the theme.
