Part 9: Review of To Kill A Mockingbird
To Kill A Mockingbird is one of my favorite books. Scout and Jem start out sounding just like regular kids, playing games and having fun, but the further you get into the book, you realize that their family is not regular.Their family gets looked down upon because they don’t have a mother, Scout isn’t very girly, and they are not racist. When their father Atticus takes on a trial centering around an African American accused of rape, the town erupts.Also, Scout and Jem have always teased their neighbor, the scare of the whole town, Boo Radley. It’s very interesting to see Scout and Jem mature. They begin to question things about their town, particularly racism, and start to realize that all the town gossip might not be completely accurate. I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you want a book that really makes you think, because To Kill A Mockingbird provokes many important questions. It also shows what the 1930’s were like for African Americans very well. I would give this book a 5/5.
