To+Kill+a+Mocking+Bird

This was a very interesting and exciting book. __To Kill a Mocking Bird__ was a story about Harper Lee's childhood and how it was and what she went through. Harper Lee describes her childhood very well and she made it exciting. In the next three paragraphs I will share you a small part of her childhood.

Tom Robinson was a very nice and loyal man. His life was taken away from him for doing something good and kind. Because he was an African American people looked at him differently. "They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again and when they do- seems that only children weep." p.213. This was about Tom Robinson’s trial for beating up and raping Bob Ewell's daughter. What really happened was the he was just helping her out when Bob Ewell saw this he wasn’t happy so he beat up his daughter and then accused Tom Robinson of it. The court found him guilty and when they where transporting him, he tried to run away and the guard was just trying to shoot to stop and injure him but he missed his shot and killed him.

Scout used to think of Boo Radley as a monster who eats squirrels.”People said he went out at night when the moon was down, and peeped in windows, when peoples azaleas froze in a cold snap it was because he had breathed on them.” P.9. This is how scout and everyone saw Boo Radley, until he had saved their lives. After she had seen him he was just a normal human being. None of that stuff was true that everyone had said. After he had saved Jem and scouts lives she never saw him again or feared him anymore. Boo Radley was a good guy that cared for people and had respect.

The perspective for kids and for adults is a lot different. Kids aren’t used to somethings like adults. They also have more sensitivity and care for things that adults lose. “Atticus said Jem bleakly; He turned in the doorway, “what, son?”“How could they do it, how could they?” “I don’t know, but they did it. “They’ve done it before and they did it – seems only children weep.” Some things kids will just have to get used to like how adults do. Kids may have a better understanding but they couldn’t do much to change it. Kids know what right and so, do adults is but that’s just the society that they live in.

In this story it talks about racism, made up creepy guys and etc. What it’s focused on is what Harper Lee went through. Then Tom Robinson case and how he should have been not guilty instead of guilty, but they couldn’t take a black man’s word over a white man. How she became friends with Boo Radley and that he isn’t a monster but a human. That he would leave them toys and he had and he had saved their lives. This was on life thrilling book and it has a good story and I liked it and I’ am glad that I had read it.
