To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel written by Harper Lee in 1960. It has become a famous piece of American literature in 1961 winning Pulitzer Prize.

The novel reveals the most controversial issues of the 20th century from the perspective of a little girl. For example, "Cry about the simple hell people give other people- without even thinking. Cry about the hell white people give coloured folks, without even stopping to think that they're people, too" (To Kill a Mockingbird 269). In 1960, when the book was first published, there were a lot of debates around the novel, for racism was not commonly considered to be wrong. Literature does not just create awareness but teaches people on what is right and what is wrong.

I have chosen to write about this particular novel because I believe that the issues discussed in the book are still relevant today.

I highly recommend To Kill a Mockingbird to those people who have ever been concerned about injustice and unfairness of the world we live in.
