The Book That All Adults Should Read
Plot:
Scout Finch is a six-year-old girl that lives in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama with her older brother, Jem, and their widowed father, the lawyer Atticus. The story takes time during the Great Depression, a time of great prejudices and short-mindedness. Atticus takes the case of defending a black person accused of committing a crime (but he's innocent). The town rebels against Atticus' tries to prove his client's innocence and makes their life incredibly difficult, especially taking in account that he is a single father. The end is special, showing the best and the worse in people. The Finch children make a new friends and learn a great lesson - don't kill mockingbirds, all they do is sing.
Why All Adults Should Read:
First, this is a children's book, believe it or not. Second of all, is a golden classic. It's about justice, prejudices and learning what is right and what is wrong. It's beautifully written and the story keeps you interested in all times, it evolves and challenges reader's perspective. All adults, that claim themselves to be very open-minded and not to have any prejudices at all, have to test themselves and see whose side they'll take while reading it. And Scout is such a lovable, charming and sweet character that the reader can't help it but dream of meeting her in real-life or imagining that they would've been the same if they were in her position. It's truly beautiful!
You can't get lost if you don't know where you're going...
