To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee | Summary & Analysis

by aBookaDay

Scout gives voice to every social circle in Maycomb through her story, as the little witness who sees all the comings and goings in the town. Together with Jem, she is her father’s watcher, inspiring Atticus Finch to commit all his greatest efforts to the Tom Robinson case, so he can show his children what it means to fight a losing battle. She is the teller of her brother’s secrets, letting readers look in on the changing morality and maturation of a young person growing up in a southern town in 1935, giving an insight into what the adults of Maycomb will look like fifteen years later. With her childlike spite and surprising wit, we can trust Scout Finch to tell the whole truth and nothing but. The lessons of To Kill a Mockingbird are for Atticus Finch to teach and for us, through his littlest daughter’s eyes, to learn.

Southern life at its best

This is a book that will get into your soul. It is morality, honesty, and respect for mankind rolled into a story of small town southern living pre WW II. There are lessons about family living that could surely be taken to heart in these modern times. A joy to read. Uplifting and full of hope for all races and religions.

A Thorough Assessment

What a great way for someone like me to refresh my mind about the importance of this story! Without needing to go back to read every word again, I quickly can remember the power of the story portrayed by such remarkable characters.

A classic that gets better with age.

Over 30 years have passed since I last read this book and my opinion of it had changed. I can saw it as a chore and depressing as a teenager, but can appreciate the characters and relationships now, as an adult.
