task 1------book reflection


Over the holidays, i have read a book called 'how to kill a mocking bird'.

This book is very good as it has a lot of rich meaning in it. To start this reflection, this book is about how 2 innocent people are the victims of discrimination and are linked to the mockingbirds and there are great people like Atticus to stop this.

After reading the book, many thoughts ran through my mine. In my opinion, now the world is very corrupted with violence, bloodshed and crime everywhere, don't you think that there are so many 'mocking birds' suffering day by day without justice and respect? Discrimination is also happening everywhere with people affected badly. For instance, a guy who is an ex-convict will find it so hard to find a job in society because everyone thinks he is bad without knowing he has turned over a new leaf, his family may have deserted him too. These thoughts have impacted me in a way that perhaps i will be more mindful of this and when the opportunities come like a guy getting bullied, i will try to stop the bully. Using such small actions would have given a positive impact on the victim's life and he can life a joyful life which he deserves, just like the 2 victims in the book should have.

This is how this book has left an impact on me. Thanks for reading.
