My first book review is "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
I rated this book 4.5 stars. The book was well written and i enjoyed every bit of it. This book shows how the law isn't always fair to everyone. They make it only fair to the white people and not fair for the coloured people. This book is a classic and should be read all over the world. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a good reading novel. This book kept me interested through the beginning to the end.
IMPORTANT:
BELOW IS A SHORT SUMMARY OF THE BOOK WITH SOME SPOILERS SO CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Short summary: The novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a story about innocence, knowledge, prejudice and courage. In the beginning the main character, Scout, starts out to be a very immature child not knowing the prejuidice times around her, as the story goes on she gains knowledge of these times by fellow kids around her accusing her dad of being a "nigger lover" which then, it was an insult. Her dad was being courageous of a black man being falsely accused of raping a white girl. Her dad, Atticus, is a criminal defense attorney only doing his job and not discriminating against this man. The line in the book "Shoot, all the blue jays you want, but remember its a sin to kill mockingbird" is referring to the black man in the story, Tom. He symbolizes a mockingbird because all mockingbirds do is sing for our enjoyment and stay out of harms way, so if you kill them its a sin. He is the mockingbird in the story and all he does is stay out of harms way and is accused of a crime and in the end is eventually guilty and dies.
