To kill a mocking bird review

Killing the Mockingbird is one of those books almost everyone reads at some point in his or her life. Whether you are forced to read it at school, or watch because everyone has been begging you, most people have their own experience of reading Mockingbird.

The book is about Atticus Finch, who is portrayed as a hero and a model because of his character and not his physical strength. The essence of morality is evident throughout the novel, especially in regard to religion and the perception of sin. Take Mrs. Dubose, a morphine recovering addict: he swears he will die without seeing anything and no one. He pursues his dream of becoming a free man because he knows inwardly that it is all right.

Killing the Mockingbird focuses on that animal of right and wrong, and separates it from just following the law. Even the saying: "Shoot all the green jays you want, if you can beat em, but remember that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird" in itself is the subject of this message. Since the text itself is a general message, the idea of ​​'doing good' apparently has a different meaning depending on when and where you read the book. If you take the 1960s, when the book was written, America was in a state of moral development as social inequalities existed - largely - slowly being overcome. Women's rights and black rights movements are beginning to emerge and some are campaigning for violence. Will Atticus Finch allow this?

In the 1930's, when the book was set up, America was in the midst of the Great Depression. This was a time when economic hardship meant that the American Dream was slowing down. We can only imagine that Atticus Finch felt that his dream of an equitable, moral society also went the wrong way.

Apart from denying the consistency of the moral message, and the wisdom of the book, it is still open to argue that, like all classics, school children should be compelled to read this novel and read it on each page. The beauty of the text and the reason I love it so much is that the author must finally give up the meaning of his book. So everyone who reads it can pull something out of it that no one has ever had before. I find that a good idea for myself, but it seems that seeking these life lessons has become less popular as the years have gone by. Let us not forget that a true piece of literature, such as the killing of Mockingbird, makes sense at all times and that today, Atticus Finch's message should be heard amidst all the world's controversies we hear in the news every night.

To think that children are suffering all over the world because of a dictatorship or a system of justice that does not fit the oppressive concept, and I think today's Atticus Finch would agree. I don’t think she would be relieved to know that the lives of innocent people were suffering because of inequality. Atticus is now going to defend the issues that Harper Lee did not consider when writing this book, such as the rights of gays and lesbians, because what is in the heart of his character is to accept who people are. That is the moral impression that you can catch whoever you are wherever you are born. Atticus Finch is not xenophobia or homosexuality. He is not racist or sexist. He is human and sees everyone in the same way. Who knows? Perhaps Atticus Finch may be an advocate for animal rights.

Should it be analyzed, taught in schools and pulled to pieces? I can't say, but what I'm going to say is I'm not arguing with anyone who reads for the purpose of learning. I read a lot of books that I enjoyed, I wrote down and I have never thought about them since. But I truly feel that Mockingbird is a book to be read, either in school or in adult life (or both), without a full and complete absorption. It is a book with many explanations in which you can find more. Personally I know that Killing the Mockingbird is a book that has changed my life a lot and that every time I go back to it, I discover something new that I am adding to my code of conduct. Going over it, while it was a tedious task, would have been worth all the time it had taken, and much more.
