The book I read is called Killing a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
I read the second
part of the book, which is one hundred and fifty-four pages. Again, the main characters are Jem, Scout, Atticus, Deal and Calpurnia. The second part of the book begins by saying that Jem is already twelve years old, and he has changed a lot towards Scout and has become very irritable, and Atticus their father tells the girl that it is best not to bother him. After a while, Atticus' sister, Alexandra, came to visit them for a while, saying that Calpurnia was no longer needed in this house. But Atticus refuses to let their maid leave. The Calpurnia black housewife takes care of the children and even takes them to church one morning. After a while, they find that Dill, who ran away from his home in Meridian, hid under Jem's bed. And he says that his foster parents don't love him and asks Atticus to stay with them for a while. Then the book says that Atticus, who works as a lawyer, has a very serious case in which many interesting events unfold. The case is against Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman. My favorite quotes from this book are two and they are “It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you. ” and “As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it… Whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash. ” The second quote is said because of the racism that manifested itself at the time, there was even a church for whites and a separate church for black folks. I think the book is very good in terms of the events that are told, but I would not read this book again or the second part. However, I like that is real and my favorite character I can say is Atticus, because he is a white man who defends the rights of blacks in the case of Tom Robinson against the white woman who turned out that she made up this whole story that the black man raped her. I've always liked this job as a lawyer because it shows how much you're trying to show that a person is guilty or innocent. I liked this part of the case more than anything else in this story. In fact, the book has a film that I plan to watch and see if there is any similarity with what is written in the book. I don't think what else I can say about the content.
