The way that I relate to this, is with my family situation. My father isn't really in the picture, and because of that, I feel that I have lost some adult influence in my life. My father has been missing out on so much in my life lately, and it's been really hard for me to keep pushing myself forward. This is really hard for me, because my father has the opportunity to come and join in my life. However, he chooses not to, and its been hard lately, but I have learned to use this as a way to push myself Evan harder, so I can prove to him that I can be successful without him. Just like Jem and Scout, I have gotten a lot of influence, by an adult that i wasn't blood related to. In my case, it is my step-dad, who has been there for me in so many ways. And in the case of Scout and Jem, there influence, comes from Calpernia. She tries the best she can, however it is very hard because she has to take the place of a parent. I have my step dad, to thank for this life. If he wasn't here for me I honestly don't know what would have happened. He has been involved in y life, more than my Father has. that this wasn't supper personal But i don't like to be personal in front of a lot of people. I just want to restate that it is hard for Scout and Jem,to look forward and get help by others. However that's not me, and i wish that I could just have a normal family. A family that \Jem and Scout probably both want. 
Your post here was very well written. I loved how you opened up to your readers. You relate yourself to the characters in this story. You can connect with them and understand Jem. You know how he feels to lose him mum. Scout didn't really know her mom, so she really doesn't know anything about her mum. I really liked your post here though.

Taya, this was a great blog post. You brought connections between you and the characters in the book like Scout and Jem. You clearly put a lot of emotion into this and I want to congratulate you on being able to go through with writing this! Also, you shouldn't be afraid to talk with people about personal things that are going on in your life. It's great to let these things out! Overall, this was a real well done blog post!
ReplyDeleteThis was a very well thought out blog post. I thought you did really well with connecting your personal life with the book, and that is espeically good because that gets your readers more involved with your post and you more involved with the book. I also thought that is was really cool that you are able to open up to anyone that may be reading your post, and it was also good on how you said that everyone was able to connect with someone in the book. That can get other people thinking more critically about the book and being able to get them to focus more on the deeper meanings of the text.
