Chapters 1 & 2

In the first two chapters in the book, "How To Kill A Mockingbird," by Harper Lee; it starts of in a small town, I believe. At first reading the first chapter, it's a little boring to me. It starts with introducing a few characters and some towns names in the twentieth century I believe. They mention a lot of weird phrases like, he's a year till senior." I really don't understand what they mean by that, I understand senior like as an elder person or it can also mean senior as in senior year of high school or even college. In the reading though they mention they are young and are barely learning how to read, so maybe I got a little confused. I guess I should read these two chapters again. I did like how the author gives a lot of specific details like, "he was a thin leathery man with colorless eyes, so colorless they did not reflect light." I gave me a specific detail of the person and made it more interesting to read. It also had weird names of the people in this book, that kinda thru me off too. In chapter two it's basically about them going to school and talks about their teacher. I guess I will continue to read this book I'll give it a chance and I guess we'll see what's in store.
