Required reading isn't always bad

This book was required for my summer high school 10th grade reading. First thought-yeah, yet one more book about the pains of growing up in the early 1900's. Well, the book proved otherwise. When reading, I really began to feel as if I was a part of the Finch family. Truly, Harper Lee writes a book of humor, relationships, trauma-all necessary characteristics of a well-written novel. To Kill A Mockingbird really gave me the perspective of the mysteries the Finch children had to uncover-Boo Radley especially. I throughly enjoyed this novel.

A book to be read again and again and again.

Told through the eyes of a child who does not see the humor in much of what she says, this story deals with the most vital issues of life--family, neighbors, prejudices, growing up. Family for Scout and Jem Finch is Atticus, their father, and Calpurnia, their caregiver in his absence. Prejudices Lee explores include religion, race, and class. As Scout matures, she learns to think for herself and can see the world from the perspective of Tom Robinson, Mayella Ewell, and Boo Radley. A delightful book, the simple tale told by an eight year old child covers all the tragedy and depth of which the human spirit is capable.

To Kill A Mocking bird is one of the most interesting novel I ever read. The story take place in a small town call Maycomb, Alabama in 1960. The story is about a white lawyer defending a black males who have been acussed of beating up a white woman. The lawyer has two children, one boy (Jem), and one girl(Scott). Jem really want to play football with his dad Atticus(the lawyer), by Atticus said he is too old to play football. Jem thought to himself about his dad that he can never play football with me, nor do anything. The two children have their own secret. They wonder who lives in the old house across the street in the corner. They were scared everytime they walked by there. They heard stories that the people lived there are the murderer, they only come out at night time. One day there was a mad dog in town. People locked their doors and windows and keep their children off the street. When a sheriff came face to face with the dog, he said "We better get Atticus." Jem wonder why the sheriff want to called Atticus if he is so weak and can't do anything. When Atticus arrived, the sheriff hand over the rifle to him. The dog was about 100 yard away.

When he can out the house, the sheriff said "your dad is the sharpest shooter in town." from that day, Jem paid more respect to Atticus and take back every he said. As for the haunted house and the black man case, well.............you have to read it to find out! it is outrageous!

This was a great book!

I had the choice to read this book as a challenge for 6th grade, and I'm glad I did. It's a great book full of feeling and emotion. The charectors are well described and the plot is really good. It teaches you not to judge people by what other people say, but to get to know someone, and you will find out what they're really like. This has a great ending and I encourage you to read it!

To Kill a Mockingbird

I think Harper Lee's novel was a warm and pure piece of American literature. The last two chapters really affected me the most, as Scout starts to loose her innocence that carried her through many events in her childhood. When Scout finally realizes what her fathter meant when he said, " To really understand a person you have to step in their shoes and walk around in them for awhile," you really see how much she is starting to mature. He teaches them through his actions and his words what is right and wrong and you should follow your conscience no matter what anyone says. I recomend this book to readers of all ages.
