To Kill a Mockingbird

Monroeville, Al

Growing up in the south, I didn't know that it mattered to so many people how differently white and black people were treated. Until I read the book, I never even thought about. Also didn't know that the reasons for this treatment and the acceptance of this treatment was viewed as unacceptable by a vast majority of my fellow southerns. This book reflects the horrors of unacceptance and the reluctance of many to step forward and stand up for what they believe. The words on these pages can and should make each reader exam their own inner core beliefs and acceptance practices that's why I belive this book is an American Icon.
