WHY READ TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD?

To kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee, published in 1960. A hugely popular novel, it was translated into some 40 languages and sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, and won a Pulitzer Prize in 1961. The novel has been widely praised for its delicate treatment of children. Touching the theme of the awakening of racism and prejudice in the American South, on the other hand To Killing a Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior: innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hate, in the same mode humor.
The characters who perform in the essence of the varied work, we shrink from infants to old people, from rich to poor, from black to white; as protagonist we have Scout, who along with his brother Jem and his inseparable friend Dill, try to discover all the mysteries that hide the city of Maycomb, and therefore run into racial prejudices, that having no knowledge about this, It will be a great journey
The plot of this novel begins when Scout, his brother Jem and his friend Dill generate a lot of intrigue rumors of the people about a man named Boo Radley, who lives in the neighborhood, but never leaves his home. Legend has it that he once stabbed his father in the leg with scissors, and described him as almost a monster. Dill is from Mississippi but spends his summer in Maycomb, in a house near the Finch. And it's since then that the plot begins, After trying to find out about Boo Radley begin a journey where we can find the problem of racism towards Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell
The book to kill a mockingbird affected me a lot because it brought us intrigue and at the same time we learned a lot about the problems of racism and social stereotypes, which had great effects and therefore brought intrigue; especially Boo Radley, who is a character who does not appear much at the beginning of the story, and therefore ambiguous to some extent.
There were special moments like negative events, for example, the fire that takes place in the house of Miss Maudie and this is a moment in which we realize the great participation of Boo Radley in protecting Scout. And, finally, the book has a very high relation with respect to the conjuncture of that moment, since it was lived in a macho era and with racial prejudices
In conclusion, I would recommend To kill a Mockingbird, because it is a work that represents a great social problem that was lived in that reality: racism; showing us realistically and thoroughly, the insults that blacks had to go through in the city of Maycomb, I would recommend this work because it makes you aware of the situation of people with dark complexions, and makes you understand that we are all equal, since Like a nightingale, killing this animal without harming anyone is a tremendous stupidity.
