Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is truly a heart- warming piece. One filled with humour, love and adventure. This book teaches a wonderful lesson, that may change a person's views forever.
"The only thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience". So far, I have come across this quote in two books that I have recently read. At first, I thought it was a good quote, yet didn't quite understand what it meant. Until I read Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.
I think, what it means, in this case, that a jury cannot prosecute someone based on what he/she thought. Or that it's wrong to do that. If this is wrong, then clearly, I need to read it again.
Throughout the whole story, I always imagined myself in them. What I would do and say if I was in it. Yet, I noticed that what happened in the story, is also happening around me. Somewhere in the world is in the same shoes as the 'mockingbird' of the story. And thought to myself : " Will I say the things I have said in what I imagined, if I happened to witness that scene?." Easier said than done.
Some people think that books like these get studied in classrooms; because they're either old, boring or not much people read them. Well it is not so. Books like Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' are in classrooms, in order to teach a lesson. To understand what the writer was trying to convey, and how reading these kinds of books can change a person's view of the things happening around them, and how they are able to use what they're taught to change the world.
As Norman Vincent Peale once said : " Change your thoughts, and you change your world"

I remember speedreading this and wondering if the trial was ever going to start. Like, it seemed like a remembrance of that era without the racism until the book gets to that part.
Debo decir que no tenía mucha idea de la trama de este libro más allá de la temática que trataba y al principio no estaba entendiendo nada. Ahora, según avanzaba la historia y se iba presentando el caso me fue ganando y desde el juicio ya no pude parar. No miento si digo que me ha puesto los pelos de punta al menos un par de veces.
El señor Atticus Finch va directo a la lista de mis personajes favoritos. Ojalá poder ser algún día como él.
