Reading prompt B

B. Compare and contrast yourself to either Scout or Jem at their age. Compare and contrast your summer activities, friends, relationships with your dad, siblings, and adults.

Me and Scout are somewhat similar. Me and Jem are also somewhat similar. Both I am similar to in different ways. Scout has a unique relationship with her father. They like to read together and they would do that when she was little and they still do know. Me and my dad also would read together when I was younger. This is something that I can remember that my dad and I used to do together quite often. At night before bed my daddy would read me a story. When I was Scouts age I was also a lot like her, in terms of her style. When I was that age I didn't like to wear dresses or skirts. I grew up wearing jeans and t-shirts.

Jem and I are also alike. Jem as it has shown through the last few chapters is very strong minded and stubborn. I am also strong minded and stubborn. I also can relate to the beginning of the book when Scout first started and he didn't want her to talk to him or anything at school. This is how I was toward my brother at first when he first started at High Tech Middle Media Arts. He embarrassed me. I can also relate to Jem in being the older sibling and having to grow up, be the responsible one, and wanting the younger sibling to grow up too. Jem also has shown interest in the law case that Atticus is in. I also have an interest in law.

Summers in this book go by really fast. The summers of Jem and Scout are similar to my own summers. They hang out with their friends and play games just like I do with my friends in the summer. Something different about our summers though is that they stay at home a lot or if they do go places its only to town. During my summers I also spend a lot of time with my family at places like the beach and the water park.

Scout, Jem, and I are similar and different in many ways. The way we handle situations and the way we look at and act towards adults are also different. There are many things that I can and can't relate to in this book.
