To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

Hi everyone, this would be my first post of the year, and I would also be telling you about the new literature book I am studying this year, "To Kill a Mockingbird" TKAM in short, by Harper Lee. Goodbye year 2009, goodbye "Village by the Sea". This book is quite interesting, as it focuses on racial prejudice. This is the only novel written by the author, as she felt that she would not be able to produce a second one as good as this. Most of the events happening in the novel is parallel to what Harper Lee had seen in her life. A good example is the Tom Robinson trail in the novel, which is similar to the Scottsboro trial. The main character in the novel, Scout, actually represents Harper Lee herself. I'll leave you to read the rest of the novel yourself.
