To kill a Mocking Bird

            My experience when reading this book is that it takes you inside of the book it is very easy to feel like you are back at this time, at the trial with Atticus even though the setting takes place so long ago.

            When I read this book with my grade 9 English class I learned a lot about right and wrong that is why I really enjoyed this book it dealt with morals. For a young teen this is a book that can help you make the right decisions; "it can help you take the path less traveled." 

What is the Value?

            The value of being exposed to English books and English in general is very important. The reason why it is so important is because books teach us things that nobody can teach. It teaches us about ourselves, how we feel in certain situations and how we think. Books help us find our deeper meaning and that is why books have significant value. 

Why is it a Requirement?

            English is the only course that is a requirement all throughout high school because it is the only course that is a necessity throughout out your entire life. You can pass by without math and science but if you cant read or write, you cant do anything, you won't be successful. Pardon my language but you are screwed you will be unable to socialize with people, work, basically you are unable to live your life without learning English in school it is a necessity for life.
           
Senses stimulation

            Books stimulate senses. Books help to create your imagination, without imagination life would be boring. The way that Books stimulate you imagination is by the description the author gives during there novel. For example Cormac McCarthy's opening page of his famous novel "The Road." The opening page stimulates your imagination making you picture what post Apocalypse would look like for any survivors.
