Literature of Years Past (Details Remembered)


At times it's hard for me to remember specifics... but there are always certain things that get ingrained in my brain.

To Kill a Mockingbirdà hot and sweaty courtroom, where everyone was jam packed
àJem was the brother’s name
àBoo Radley (everyone was scared of him, but he was actually just a nice guy misinterpreted)
à Atticus Finch stood up for what was right, even though it wasn't the most popular opinion to have.
The Catcher in the Ryeà main character (Holden) never wanted to grow up
à Had a professor that acted weird the night he slept over (touched him)
