To Kill A Mocking Bird: Book Review by Abhiram Singireddy

Plot: Atticus Finch's endeavors to demonstrate the innocence of Tom Robinson, a black man who has been wrongly accused of committing a crime by a white lady in 1930s Alabama.

This is a novel that I have read endless times over the years and it never fails to connect with me on some level with every reading. There are two primary reasons to read this book. The first reason is for the lovely depiction of creative childhood. The narrator, her brother Jem, and their companion Dill embody most of the characteristics of childhood, and their imaginative recreations and thought processes are a joy to view. The voice of Scout is a pitch-perfect recreation of childhood and childish motivations. Part I of this book is conceivably the most excellent recreation of childhood that I have come over in literature. Another reason may be a pretty simple one really. The character of Atticus Finch is one of the noblest literary creations ever composed. He is somebody who is respectable in each sense of the word and serves as a motivation for anybody. He is a great father, a conventional and compassionate man, and an individual who tries to see the good in almost anything.  It is apparent as you read this book that Harper Lee adores this character. Atticus’ emphatic want to see all people as humans and worthy of regard could be a lesson for our and all time. It could be a characteristic that numerous individuals preach, but few really practice. There are various other reasons why this is often a stellar work of genius, not slightest of which is the superb plotting of the novel, the great and fleshed out supporting characters and the message that Lee finds various ways to emphasize all through the book, which is picking on people who are helpless and don't do harm is a terrible thing. I would give this book a 9/10 and recommend it!
