It's The End of The World as We Know It

The title of my post is the title of a pretty old song, look it up if you want. We have been reading this book since October. It's January. Remember how the book started, Scout gave the background of the Finches. I remember I started reading, and felt like super good about myself because I finished the first chapter of a really hard book. Now I look back at the October Ellie, and I laugh. We just finished the book. It was a really hard book, and now we're done.
The last chapter was really interesting, in many ways. Scout had a Halloween pageant, and she missed her cue, and made a very embarrassing scene. She didn't want to take her costume off because she was too embarrassed, and decided to walk home in her costume. It was really dark out, and Jem didn't have a flashlight. They heard someone following them,a and they ran, but were to slow, and in the process, Bob Ewell attacked them. Scout was really confused through the whole thing, and heard Jem scream. Then Bob attacked Scout by trying to choke her, but instead crushed her costume. The costume must have saved Scout's life. Then Scout realized that four people were involved in this. Scout looked out, and saw someone carrying Jem home. Scout followed. She found out later, that it was Boo Radley who saved them. Scout actually gets to know Boo, and likes him. She realizes that he is not an evil demon, but instead, a really nice man who saved her life.
The old Scout who was the fighter, and the stubborn tomboy, would have run away from Boo, and been totally creeper out. Now that Scout has lost her innocence, and sees the real world, she takes Boo in as a person, and makes a friend. All this time, Atticus was trying to get her to see things the right way, but Scout has always looked at things with the deadliest disease, ignorance. Scout through her life grew up, and became a good person. She looks at things the way Atticus would, and thinks before she acts, and she is getting good at empathizing with others.
I think that the whole book has been about the themes that we talked about, and the trial, and Dill, but the real story plot is Scout growing up. It is about Scout seeing the world as, a beautiful, yet ugly place. She learns that it is not always what it looks like, but more what it actually is like. Dolphus Raymond is an example. Jem and Scout used to judge him because he could get drunk before 8:00 in the morning, and he was always hanging out with the black people. But once Scout, and Dill got to know him, they realized that he likes the black people better, and he never drank alcohol, just coke. Scout learned three things there. I think we can figure it out. This was an amazing story about a A father of integrity, a football loving brother, a boy who makes summer the best, a black man who got killed for doing the right thing, a ignorant man being let go because he is white, but soon dies, a girl who is abused, a cook, a hard working neighbor, a scary at first but very nice neighbor, and a girl who grows up, and looses her innocence, and sees the world from a different perspective.
