To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

To Kill A Mockingbird is a book that is based in a small town in Alabama during the great depression where a family lives that consists of Scout, her brother Jem, and their father Atticus. Atticus is the local towns lawyer, he also has high expectations. Scout, Jem, and their friend Dill are entrigued by the local tales that a man named Boo Radley once stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors and that he is made out to be some kind of monster. The kids move closer to the Radley house, which  is said to be haunted, but Atticus scolds them for it. Another mysterious thing is that strange gifts appear in a hollow hole in a tree which consist of carved figures that look like the children and pennies and chewing gum. Later they find out that Boo's brother plugged up the hole with cement.

Atticus decides to take on a case involving a black man named Tom Robinson who has been accused of "taking advantage of" a very poor white girl named Mayella Ewell, a member of the notorious Ewell family, who belong to the layer of Maycomb society that people refer to as "trash." The Finch family faces harsh criticism in the heavily racist Maycomb because of Atticus's decision to defend Tom. But, Atticus insists on going through with the case because his conscience could not let him do otherwise. He knows Tom is innocent, and also that he has almost no chance at being acquitted, because the white jury will never believe a black man over a white woman. Despite this, Atticus wants to reveal the truth to his fellow townspeople, expose their bigotry, and encourage them to imagine the possibility of racial equality.

This book has plenty of action, suspense, drama, and even comedy. It portrays alot of meanings also, it is one of my favorite books and i'm excited to read it again in english.
