  - Classic Coming of AgeIt seems most perspectives are learned based on personal experiences or the internalized experiences of others. The near universal narration of this book makes it accessible: a child at play, making sense of an patently imperfect and covertly hostile world. The point of view character, Scout, is a young girl, so young that behaving according to gender is something she has not yet mastered. Similarly, the concepts of poverty, racism, sexuality, and violence are unclear to her. As the story unfolds, through her eyes the reader gains (or revisits) these perspectives in a place and time that is likely at least a little different from our own - and thus the work is as insightful now as it was when it was written. Rating: - A ClassicTo kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is a story about a family that faces difficult times and stays loyal to their friends. The widowed father, Atticus Finch, is a lawyer defending a black man against the accusation of the rape of a white woman. The story is told from the perspective of finch's daughter, Scout. It follows her, her brother, Jem, and their friend, Dill, on their childhood adventures as they transition from seeing the world through a child's eyes to awakening to the world occupied by adults. I love this book! It is a classic for everyone's bookshelf. Rating: - To Kill a MockingbirdFabulous story. All time classic. My favoite story ever! I re-read this story and watch the movie at least once a year! Rating: - To Kill a MockingbirdThe book was fantastic much better than the movie that I saw many years ago. Rating: - Wrong ItemGreat book. Hastings sent me the wrong one though. But they gave me a full refund and let me keep the other book. So they did a good job eventually. |
