Jean Armstrong, Harper Lee | To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee
To Kill A Mockingbird is the story of a young naiive southern girl named Scout, who, despite her view of her peaceful, nice society, experiences the cruelty of early 20th century American discrimination. She is exposed to racism through her fellow residents of her hometown, Maycomb, which she believed to be respectable people. She also learned that in her society as well as American society as a whole, when it comes to social class, the white middle class people are first followed by the white poor class and last, the African Americans.
This comes to a disturbance towards her because she respects the African Americans in her society and does not understand why Bob Ewell, who is presented to be a cruel man, won the case when the African American man Tom Robinson was clearly innocent. The content and the story in which Harplee presented was outstanding.
She was able hook the reader in the story while expressing realistic views of the mid-1900's American South. I highly recommend To Kill A Mockingbird because because it is a story that you will enjoy and remember. You should take some time not only to read the book, but also analyze the story and discover themes that descibe America's history and that can be seen today.
