To Kill a Mockingbird is one of those books in which will never stop being a good book and will never stop inspiring people. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the greatest novels of all times written by the American author Harper Lee. The scenario of the book is settled during the period of the Great Depression in the 1930’s, and focuses its location in southern Alabama in a small town named Maycomb County. This was the time were the American dream was moving further away. The theme of racism brings the book to represent the perception of sin, injustice and how people prejudice based on people’s looking.
The book was based on a story to commemorate the days of racism that took place in the 1930’s. A girl named Jean Louis Finch known as Scout narrates this story. Harper Lee wants Scout to sound as she was an old women but the perspective of the book was from a small girl who was just learning about life and its conflicts. This made me as a reader have some confusions of what was happening in its book.
There were two things happening in the book. Scout was having the best adventures around his brother Jem and his friend Dill on summer looking for clues to the truth behind the house of the Radley’s, and its habitant who is locked inside the house from everybody (Boo Radley). While also her father Atticus playing his role of a lawyer founds himself defending an innocent black man for raping a teenager.
Harper Lee tries to guide us through the reality of how mean and disrespectful humans could be with each other and makes us reflect to be better people. I really liked the book because it makes us connect with the story, seeing how people fight and want freedom in life as Harper Lee stand up for in real life as in TKAM. TKAM made me believes in trust, family, and love no matter what inconvenient comes to your live. If people are against one of your familiars for something they haven’t done, we put ourselves in the same shoes as them and fight for it together.
What I actually would’ve expected more was from the ending of the book were it appear the point were restated the opening of the book and leave me with the desire of wanting more.
I really encourage the people who haven’t read this book to give it a try. It’s a magnificent and valuable book that gives an important life lesson. As Atticus could see the innocence and humanity in Scout,
, Boo Radley, and other characters throughout the book he was able to accept people the way they are. He’s human and he sees everybody else in the same way. And it isn’t fair for extraordinary people to have injustice that’s why ‘It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.’
