Thank you We sneak in To kill a mockingbird coming

00:07

of age i last month everyone in the book has

00:11

this innocence about them It's just that scout is the

00:14

only one who should be allowed to she's the six

00:17

year old these other people are all exactly is naive

00:20

but they're adults they should know better so it's through

00:23

scout that we kind of are able to see that

00:26

this's how you are when you're born you say oh

00:28

i don't know any better but i i do know

00:31

i am gonna question it because it doesn't why's this

00:33

why's that she's always asking but then you know as

01:18

was expecting it whether that's a good thing or a

01:21

bad thing that he you know should he have stood

01:23

up and thought more maybe but he kind of is

01:26

expecting it So keys I guess more of a jaded

01:29

character where we have you know the youthful innocence of

01:32

scout We have you know the jaded cynicism of atticus

01:35

where he does everything right But he just knows that

01:38

that what he's doing isn't enough and it just never
