Author’s Note: This is the sumative piece for the book I just read called To Kill A Mocking Bird. In this piece I am working on adding opinion, proof read, and sentence structure. If you could give me some feedback, that would be great.
Do you ever wonder what the past was like? Yes, maybe you heard stories or seen movies, but you don’t actually know what it was like. This book describes it very well. If you read To Kill A Mocking Bird than you will know what the past was like.
First of all, this book takes place in Maycomb county in the 1930’s. Where there is still segregation. Though there was segregation it seems like some people were nicer to African American, than probably what most people think now. Yes, some people were really racist but other weren't like Atticus. He took Tom Robinson’s case though he knew he wasn’t going to win, because he had a low chance of winning since he was against a racist jury. What is also stupid is that once Tom got to the jail he tried to run away, but the guards killed him. They said they were trying to wound him. Sure, when you try to wound someone you put 17 bullets into him. If it was a white man that would be a whole different story.
Later, Mr. Ewell was the father of Mayella. Mayella was the defendant to Tom Robinson’s case. Though Mayella won the case her father was still mad at Atticus for taking the case. Later in the book Jem and Scout were in the Halloween play and after Scout couldn’t find her dress and her shoes, so she and Jem were the last to leave and Scout had to leave barefoot and in her ham costume. The next part happened so fast, because it was pitch black in the forest and then Mr. Ewell snuck up and pushed them both to the ground. All that you know is that Jem is fighting Mr. Ewell. Then Mr. Ewell breaks Jem’s arm and he is out cold. Boo Radley came to save the day. The sheriff found that Mr. Ewell fell on his knife and that was the end of Mr. Ewell.
This book was great. For me it is really hard for me to get into books. There have only been 5 series that I really liked and this just made it 6. I would recommend this book to everyone no matter what genre of books that you like. This book really is a blast from the past (That sounds really geeky right).
