in many posts, "Killing a Mockingbird" has always been in the list. Finally, unable to bear curiosity, I borrowed this book from the library to read. Since then, I will recommend this book to everyone.
The movie version of "Killing a Mockingbird"
"Killing a Mockingbird" is a novel published by American female writer Harper Lee in 1960. The whole book starts from the perspective of little girl Scout , Revolving around the childhood life of her and her brother Jim, tells the story of a small town in the southern United States during the Great Depression in the 1930s. The reason why
is regarded as a classic is that there are many things that we can learn and interpret: growth, education, justice, upbringing, discrimination, equality...
Among them, the one that impressed me was the father of , Atticus. A clear and gentle way of educating the children, the spring breeze blows on the face like rain, but it makes people have a fierce joy.
And let us learn the wisdom of Atticus as a father.
1. "I have never liked reading. It's like people breathe not because they like it. This is a truth."
Skuter and Atticus
On the first day of the first grade, Skuter did not know each other. Miss Caroline told me that "you go back and tell your father, don't teach you anymore." Because in Miss Scout's opinion, it is best to start with a blank sheet of paper, and read the "Mobile Chronicle" Scout of the stock market has undoubtedly been adversely affected by reading.
Scout was puzzled by this, and Atticus didn't have time to teach her anything. She began to be forced to reflect on the ins and outs of things.
Atticus always sits alone in the living room reading a newspaper every night, and she is always curled up in Atticus's arms. I don't know when, a string of letters has been combined into words.
For Scout, reading is like learning to eat and dress. It is a natural thing .
That's why she said, "I have never liked reading. It's like people breathe not because they like it. This is a truth." This inspires us, but she says calmly.
I can't help but admire Atticus. There is no dogmatic indoctrination, no painstaking teaching, but a moisturizing and silent company. In the subtle, reading has become an indispensable existence in children's life like breathing.
There are often parents complaining in life, "Our children don't like to read books, and they feel sleepy when they read books." "We don't have time to accompany our children to study at work every day."
I think, might as well learn from Atticus. books should not only be stored in the study room and special bookcase. Perhaps a simple book area is arranged in the corner of the living room. After tea and dinner, start your wonderful reading time with your children.
2. "When a child asks you a question, you have to answer it sternly"
tell the child the real world
Scout asked Uncle Jack about the meaning of a dirty word, and the uncle told her a story about the prime minister of Melbourne. Prevaricate the problem. When Atticus knew it, he told Jack that "Although children are only children after all, they will be more acutely aware that you are avoiding problems than adults, and avoiding will only make them confused." Uncle Jack does what many parents do. When faced with a child’s problem, the choices made are sometimes difficult and difficult to answer, and sometimes the parents are exhausted and so casual.
Most of the time, parents really just treat their children as children, but this approach not only dampens the children’s curiosity, but also erodes the children’s trust in their parents.
Let’s see how Atticus does it.
Atticus, as a lawyer, was described as "a nigger defender" for defending Tom, a black man. Faced with Scout's puzzlement, Atticus will seriously explain to his daughter.
Jem was indignant at the court's conviction of the black Tom, Atticus told him bluntly, "When you grow up, you will see the whites cheating on the blacks every day", but one day sooner or later , They will pay for it.
ScoutAtticus will answer the questions raised by Jim sincerely, never perfunctory or avoiding. This kind of sincerity allows the brothers and sisters to appreciate the kindness and justice of human nature better than ordinary children.
Children are full of curiosity about the world. When they ask you questions, even if they don’t understand, they should answer them seriously. For your sincerity, the children will give you more trust and surprises.
3, "The real bravery is that you know you will lose before you start, but you still have to do it."
A family of three
There is a Mrs. Du Bos in the small town who is sick, but also acrimonious. She opposed Atticus to defend black people, so she often said some gossip about Atticus.
Jem was finally annoyed one day, and angrily interrupted the camellia in Mrs. Du Bos’ yard. As compensation, Jim was asked to read to Mrs. Du Bos every day.
Until the death of Mrs. Du Boss, the children still had a shadow on her, but Atticus called her "the noble lady" and told the children another story about Mrs. Du Bos. Mrs. Du Bos became addicted to her pain relief by relying on morphine. After knowing that she had only a few months to live, she decided to give up morphine and leave the world cleanly. In the end Mrs. Du Bos won.
Atticus asked Jem to study for Mrs. Du Bos because he wanted him to see what true bravery is. Jim, who is quick and easy, is not brave. Like Mrs. Du Bos, knows He is destined to lose, but he still has no hesitation in doing it and persists to the end is the bravest person.
Many parents always like to tell their children some theories or principles mechanically, but Atticus uses the people and things around him to teach them an important lesson in life, letting them understand that is brave not by fists, but It is the persistence made by myself.
Atticus (played by Gregory Parker) in the movie
"Atticus is really the perfect father I have ever seen!" This is after my first reading of "Kill a Mockingbird" The most intuitive feeling, after reading this book again and again, I still can't help but admire Atticus' educational wisdom as a father.
He cultivates children's habits in subtle ways, expresses respect for children in his words and deeds, and understands the true meaning of life from the little things around him.
Teacher Chen Danqing once summarized culture in four sentences: "The education rooted in the heart, the consciousness without reminding, the freedom based on restraint, and the kindness for the sake of others." Are these four sentences
? What about the perfect portrayal of Atticus? He used his educational wisdom to care for the growth of children and gave them the most precious gift.
In today's society, the anxiety of family education is becoming more and more intense, and let us follow Atticus, not arrogant or impatient, and learn to be an excellent parent.
