For this article, I have read the book “To Kill a Mockingbird”, written by Harper Lee and published 1960. It is a book about a girl growing up in the south in the 1930’s. Overall I can see why the book has been so highly appraised. Like many, I enjoyed reading from the innocence of eight-year-old Scout Finch.
