To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Classic, Humorous, Foreboding


Fiction


Drama 


Plot Preview 


Scout and Jem Finch live in a old Alabama town of Maycomb. Their father, Atticus, is a lawyer. For fun Scout, Jem, and their best friend Dill begin trying to make their neighbor to come out of his house. Atticus forbids them to have anything to do with Mr. Radley, urging them to let the poor man be. Atticus is a good man, and one day takes on a case that affects him personally. Scout and Jem begin to get tormented over their father at school, and Atticus begs them not to get riled up over the town's prejudice. They begin to realize that many people in town are very prejudiced against blacks. It is hard for them to understand how people can be so mean to each other.
This book is powerful. The story portrays the coexistence of good and evil. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in history.  Reading this book just reminded me there are still good will people in the world.
