She's afraid she will become a lesbian. \nFootnote: Harper Lee based her characters on people she knew and the town on Monroeville, AL. Atticus was based on her father, Dill was Truman Capote. There have been rumors for decades that Capote actually wrote the book and let his childhood friend Harper Lee submit it for publication for herself.

I hadn't heard that it was banned. For the life of me, i can't really see a reason why either. Possible because of the killing of a mentally challenged person, but i think the book is an amazing story, and i know when i read it at school, i enjoyed the story and felt better for having read it. The same goes for Farenheit 411, amazing book. I don't think schools have any right to ban books. I thought thats why we live in a free country.

Some of the salient pts of "To kill a mocking bird", according to me:\n1. Relationship between Scot (the girl) and Atticus Finch (father).\n2. Will displayed by Atticus to fight fearlessly for social justice (for blacks) against an indifferent society. \n3. "Growing up is learning" as exhibited through the characters of Scot and Jem Finch.\n4. Bringing up mother-less kids is a loving and balanced way as done by Atticus Finch.\n\nThere are a lot more really, if i sit to think of them. This is one of my favourite books.

i think its trying to just be a narrative poem telling the story of two mockingbirds that became gods and blessed people who were unwilling to become gods themselves. Its dort of a poem of self discovery.

"To Kill a Mockingbird"  depending on my mood, i've answered this questions with so many different answers.  But Gregory Peck's performance as Atticus Finch ALWAYS shines through.

I would throw Harper Lee's book at it and hit it square between the eyes.  If I missed, the mocking bird would fly away, perplexed by the fact that someone was throwing literature at it.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.\n\nIt's a classic tale depicting two forms of prejudice and demonstrating why prejudice is wrong and ofteb borne of ignorance. It's been taught in American and British schools for the last 30 years and is considered a modern classic.\n\nIt's also my favorite non-science-fiction book... EVER!

I'm sure there are many good book reviews on "To Kill A Mockingbird".  But, you should write your own or it's plagarism and cheating . . .

Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mockingbird.\n\nI have found  10+  summaries for you to look at, via the links below.\n\nhttp://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Belmont_HS/tkm/\n\nhttp://www.awerty.addr.com/tokill2.html\n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/book.php3?id=411\n\nhttp://www.antistudy.com/search.php?title=To+Kill+a+Mockingbird\n\nhttp://www.onlineessays.com/essays/literature/lit186.php\n\nThese links will give you a summary of the book, character analysis, plot and much more, so that you will be able to answer literary questions.  Here is a short extract of what you can expect from the summaries.\n\nContext\n\nNelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama, a sleepy small town similar in many ways to Maycomb, the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird. Like Atticus Finch, the father of Scout, the narrator and protagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee’s father was a lawyer. Among Lee’s childhood friends was the future novelist and essayist Truman Capote, from whom she drew inspiration for the character Dill. \n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/page.php?link=http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mocking/&book=411\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

The book is an excellent mystery that will keep you turning the pages.  I would recommend reading the book before watching the movie because the movie may be hard to follow if you have not read the book.  At least for me it would have been.\n\nFirst thing you must realize if you are going to read the book, is that it is fiction, and should be taken as FICTION ONLY.  Even though there may be parts which ARE true, you should not get your information about history, religion, and art from a book of fiction.  Absolutely assume that it is all fiction.  Then if you want to later find out where the truth is, you'll just have to do the work of consulting scholarly works, history books, and the Bible as well as the other Gospels that did not make it into the Bible.\n\nSo if you are looking for a good fiction and awesome mystery story, read it and see it.  If you are looking only for historical truth on the matters covered, then do not read it or see it, because it is a terrible source for factual information.  As I say, even though some of the information may be true, you won't be able to know the truth from the falsehood, and there is DEFINITELY falsehood in the book.  Afterall, it IS a fiction novel.

Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" is great. You should also read Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mocking Bird." That is a truly awesome book.
