To Kill A Mockingbird
By: Harper Lee
To Kill A Mockingbird reviewed by Elizabeth K.Ever
think of how it was back in the day? Well how about in the south where
racism is a huge problem? The setting of the book is in a small town
called Maycomb in Alabama. The story is told through the eyes of a young
girl, named Scout Finch. Her family consist of her father Atticus Finch
and her older brother Jem Finch. Atticus is supporting a black man,
Thomas Robinson because he was accused for raping a white woman. Like i
said before, racism is a problem. Atticus has to defend Tom very well to
make him not guilty. As this is going on Scout and Jem learn a life
lesson that will help them with everything. “you can kill all the
bluejays you want, if you can hit them. But it is a sin to kill a
mockingbird.”
I
recommend this book to anyone, boy or girl, kid or adult. It shows how
it was in the south where discrimination is allowed. The story is very
moving and I enjoyed it a lot. The ending is very shocking. I would read
it again myself.
