    Biography

    Harper Lee was born in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. She attended the local schools and studied law at the University of Alabama. For some years she spent most of her time in New York City, where, until she began writing, she was employed in the reservations department of an international airline. "Aside from writing," says Miss Lee, "my chief interests in life are collecting memoirs of nineteenth-century clergymen, golf, crime and music."

    November 07, 2006: This fictional novel was written in the era of racism, the infamous 1960s. Though written when racial discrimination was commonly accepted, it radically imposes the thought of tolerance. Scout Finch is an aggressive, non-effeminate, little girl always looking for adventures that lurks throughout Maycomb County. Scout?s curiosity leads her brother and herself into trying to catch a glimpse of the mysterious, Boo Radley. Being discreet as possible, Boo leaves subtle clues and gifts for the two within a log tree. Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem?s father, forbids them to continue bothering poor Boo Radley. After being assigned the attorney for Tom Robinson, a persecuted African-American for rape, Atticus is tied up with a perilous task which burdens his family from the town. Sought as the ?nigger-lovers?, Atticus preserves his moral composure and does resists from violence, as the innocence of Scout and Jem slowly deteriorates. Atticus?s unique personality understands the world?s good and evil due to his experiences. As the novel progresses, Scout and Jem learn to appreciate the good in people and sympathize for the bad. To Kill a Mockingbird, is a Pulitzer-winning book-and why? It continues to be a classic because it not only displays to everyone the rational and compassionate side of human-nature, but teaches one to appreciate humans from all aspects. Given as a gift, assigned for a class, or bought, To Kill a Mockingbird is a piece of American history and should be read by anyone who enjoys literature at its finest.

    April 28, 2005: ?To Kill a Mockingbird? is a story of a white family that lives through hard racist times. Attticus fights the war against slavery as a lawyer defending blacks that cannot defend themselves. He has two children that are affected by this. In ?To Kill a Mockingbird?, Atticus defends one particular man, Tom Robinson, who is accused of raping a white girl. Ultimately, the innocent man is found guilty. This runs parallel to the main point of the story. Atticus?s two children, Scout and Jem, misjudge Boo Radley to be a person that he is not. Harper Lee does an excellent job in portraying the theme of racism in the story. She shows how hard racism is on Atticus?s family, which is mild, in comparison to how difficult it is for black families. Not only is she saying not to be judgmental on the basis of racism, but do not be judgmental on basis of anything.
