I mean, I did think of that while I was reading their stories, but didn't put it all together in a single thought. Bob Ewell is also rejected.

If I knew you were going to post my thoughts...Haha! If I knew you were going to post my thoughts I would have written something more profound... a few less exclamation points :) haha! To share one example of what I meant about layered themes... take Boo, Tom, Dill... they are such different, different characters and yet they share the experience of being rejected. It's interesting to see how people treat them and why, and the lessons that people who interact with them learn about kindness and friendship and justice. Their experiences are unique and yet they aren't at the same time, you know? "There's only one kind of folks, folks." As Scout would say. I think the book really shows how much more we have in common than different, and how each of us deserves to be treated with love and respect. <br /><br />Keep writing! I'm enjoying this!
