To kill a Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird" is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel written by Harper Lee.
This book is about a young girl named Jean Louise Finch, also known as Scout, and her older brother, Jeremy, who is nicknamed Jem, who live in the Deep South during the 1930s.
In their little town of Maycomb, Ala., Jem and Scout have to face conflicts, such as racism, hypocrisy and the simple struggles of growing up.
Their father, Atticus Finch, who is a noble lawyer and a single parent, tries hard to teach his children to look past skin color and to put themselves in other people's shoes.
This theme seems to show up constantly in this book.
From their father defending an African American, to a mysterious childhood misconception, called "Boo" Radley.
These children grow up and eventually learn to never judge someone unless they have been there before and understand what they're going through.
To me, this novel is one of the most touching stories I'd ever read.
The story is so simple, yet deals with very mature conflicts. This is a classic, and I highly recommend anyone read it.
