Harper Lee
Plot:
In a society where the whites were deemed as superior and hardly any other races dare to go against them, a white lawyer aims to clear the crime of an innocent Negro.
Review:
With a light and innocent tone, I would have thought that it was a mere children's storybook with a catchy title. However, I was seriously wrong as the story progressed, involving issues of racial discrimination, one's sense of justice and courage. Through the innocent eyes of the narrator, her perception of justice was thoroughly challenged in one summer.
Definitely a masterpiece and no wonder a famous literature text.
"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens. don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." -To kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
