To Kill A Mockingbird
When I finished those couple chapters in To Kill a Mockingbird, I was really surprised. I was not expecting the narrater to be a little girl barely starting 1st grade. When I heard people talking about it, and heard the title I was picturing something more serious. So far this little girl has just been describing different people and children that live in their small town of Maycomb. She seems very intellegent for her age but also has a hard time grasping commen manners or courtesies. I wasent that impressed but maybe I just need to read more of it.

I think it's important to realize that the narrator is actually not a little girl, but a grown woman recalling a story from her youth. Surely, a first grader wouldn't likely use the word assuage, even in the 1930's.
