Another American Classic

I came to the American classics later in life (in my 30s), which was a good turn, as I discovered, by reading "To Kill a Mockingbird."

As a student, I didn't read for pleasure, so I looked at book assignments like work. Now that I have time, I really enjoy books like Harper's, which so easily slide you into confrontations of social consequence and make you think and decide where you stand.

I listened to "To Kill A Mockingbird" on tape and the performance (by a woman) was riveting. As an aspiring author, I would love to write like Harper Lee, so casual and calm in her manner, she took me to Macon, Alabama on the rails of her southern prose.

And Atticus Finch is a character whose character every statemen should aspire to.

To Give Us Only One, Harper Lee?

To think this is the only book Harper Lee has produced. But, as they say, it's greatest to go out on top. One word eloquently equals the sum of this book: earnest. The book is not politically correct (nor should any book be). Accordingly, I am sure the book outrages every type of person to whom Harper's message was written. The book tells of the injustices black people did, and have endured. The time period is late 1930's. The story line feeds the reader a view of endurance, moral right, truth, honesty, and that one must stand up for what is morally right in the face of many detractors. Verily, a book every person should read.

To Kill a Mockingbird Doesn't Kill!

A popular classic is one way to describe the awesome novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Everybody should read this novel because it is so interesting and it really is important. And a bonus- IT'S NOT BORING! Which is good because usually it seems books that are required reading are kind of boring. But not To Kill a Mockingbird.
The novel takes place in a small fictional southern town called Maycomb, Alabama set during the depression. A family lives there that consists of a widowed father, Atticus Finch, an older brother, Jem Finch, and a younger girl named Scout Finch. The father is a lawyer and he takes on a case about an African American man who has supposedly raped a white girl. Not to give away the ending I have to stop my summary there. But the book goes on about a detailed trial of the man. Another subject the story talks about is the Finch's neighbor- Boo Radley. He is a mysterious man who never comes out of his house and has terrible rumors going around about him. Scout and Jem and a friend they make named Dill make it their mission to see Boo.
The only downer to the novel is that the beginning doesn't make much sense. But don't stop because the end brings it all together. I hope you enjoy the novel if you decide to read it! Happy reading!

An Excellent Re-Read

I read this in school and then read it again recently (I am now in my 30's). This book made a significantly more profound impact the second time around. It is now one of my top 5 favorite books.
