TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD
The book to kill a mocking bird changed my life. The book was fantastic, and I loved it. I really admired Harper Lee for writing a book like this in the 40s, and openly opposed segregation on a national scale. I think Harper Lee showed a lot of courage to right a book like this. I think that even though this book has a lot of explicit content, this book should be 'censored' for kids of the age of 9-10, and should be a read aloud required for that age level. If you don't know about history then you are bound to repeat it's mistakes.I think Harper Lee displays courage through some of the characters in this book. Such as when Atticus defends Tom Robinson from the angry farmers in the middle in the middle of the night. This is important because at the time of segregation, a white man defending a black man for a crime is uncommon and is a big deal. Atticus displays courage and moral, and he shows that he is a good guy.
In conclusion, To Kill A Mocking Bird was a fantastic book. It illustrated the injustice in the south during segregation. Harper Lee showed a lot of courage to write a book like this, and I really look up to her for that. I hope that everybody gets to read this book in their life time, because it will change your life. If Harper Lee had not written this book, then maybe segregation would have never ended.
