Even though this part of the story may have passed over many people's heads, I was fascinated with the father-daughter bond between Atticus and Scout. I love the way Atticus treats Scout like she's her own person, not a descendant of him. This perspective made me view my dad in a different light as well. I see him more as himself now, not just as my dad.
Another one of the little things that caught my eye was the childish relationship between Dill Scout and Jem. They reminded me of My older brother Willie, my cousin Gabe, and me when we were younger. Gabe would come over to our house every night and we would stay up until 4:00AM playing poker where the loser would have to drink a secret potion or run to the end of the backyard in the dark, or something silly like that. Although we all got along, Gabe would often make fun of me to impress Willie, like Dill did to Scout when he and Jem would go off and play by themselves.
Relationships between others was what I liked most about the story. Although the main plots were suspenseful and exciting, I looked most forward to the excerpts during summer so I could reminisce about my childhood.
