To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee gives the first person
account of the trial of Tom Robinson from the view of Jean Louise Finch, or
Scout as she likes to be called. It is about the trial of Tom Robinson, the
adventures of Scout, Dill, and Jem and the mysterious Boo Radley. The story
shows Scout as she progressively matures in her mind and learns the lesson that
she should not judge others until she knows their actions through their
perspective.
The story is about the events that take place in the town of
Maycomb, Alabama during the trial of Tom Robinson, an African American man who
is charged with raping Mayella Ewell, the daughter of Bob Ewell, who is the
stories main antagonist. As the story progresses, the reader learns more and
more information about what truly happened between Tom and Mayella through
information that Scout is given. The
reader learns about what truly happened on the night that Tom was reported, and
after the truth is out Bob Ewell wants revenge and will stop at nothing until
he has gotten it.
Because this book is so full of information and secrets to
be read, I cannot give as much information as would be preferred. But I can say
this: this book is rated even more than a 10/10. If I could rate it higher, I
would. This book may very well be the greatest book I have ever read in my life
and it truly changed my way of thinking about certain things after reading it.
I give it this rating because of how incredibly amazing the book itself is and
because of all of the secrets and new adventures around every corner in the
book. This is truly a book everyone should read, and definitely a book that I
will read again someday.
Book Review by Sam B.
There's isn't a adult that doesn't recommend reading this book and I think I would enjoy reading it. I really like the perspective of the book as someone a bystander digging the mystery to find if Tom Robison is innocent. There's a moral to be learn and that is how people are prejudice to someone based on their skin color. The trial in the book is similar to another trial "Plessy v. Ferguson" because they're both about racial discrimination and the unfair justice that African-American had in court and everyday life. I want to read this book in the near future for sure.
ReplyDeleteTo start off at my old school when are you going to do before Parkcenter I was going to read the book this book in that class but we ended up moving the school that I attended to before Parkcenter was Arvin high school in Bakersfield. I think this book looks very interesting but as they say"Don't judge a book by its cover" I decided to read a little about it and it turns out that it is very interesting and I look forward to reading it sometime when I get the chance to. I have always like to read books and when it's interesting that book always gets stuck to me so I always remember it and I like history books such as in they talk about slavery or racism ect. Overall I'm looking forward to reading this book it seems very interesting after only reading a little part of it so I can't wait to read the whole book to get my mind blown.These are the reasons why I choose to want to read this book and I actually checked it out so now I can start reading it.
