The novel published in 1960 is about one of the major problems in American society -the black-white conflict. Scout and Jem, whose father advocating a black man, found themselves at the center of social events and have been excluded from the society in various ways. Even their school friends tries to exclude them. Prejudice, racism and hate; they are the characteristic facts that the adults have. Children do not born with these facts, they learn them from the adults.
Sometimes it is harder to see the truth because we stand behind the curtain which is made from prejudice and hate. On the other hand, it can be crystal clear when you look at the truth through the eyes of a child. Harper Lee is succeeded at conveying his thoughts through children characters.
The story begins with a local black and white conflict, but in the end, it ends up as a universal story. Because the more you read, the more you realize that every country has its own conflicts and people [who look at the facts through the curtain which is made from prejudice and racism.]
The book is questioning that why even the most intellectual people are losing their minds when some thing is about black people. The book can be read in a short time.
We've seen so many wars and dead people. We should stop hating each other and accept our differences. I see racism as a sickness. Not a single person is greater than one another because of their nationality -it is something we can't choose. What is important is not your nationality, but your knowledge, your treatment to others.
This is a book everyone should read.
Stay with Love.
