Two Books
I had read two books.
"A Time to Kill" by John Grisham and "To kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee. Both books were very interesting and worth to read. The fun part was reading them one after the other, and both books were about racial prejudice, violence, moral tolerance and dignified courage.
A Time to Kill, is one of my personal favorites. The horror begins on the very first page when a ten-year-old black girl is brutally raped by two white males. The repulsive details leave the reader clenching his fists and apprehensive to read on.
"A time to kill" was possible to argue all day about how much of the race issue in it is a legitimate exploration of black/white tension, and how much is sensationalism used to spice up the story.
"To Kill a Mocking Bird" is set in the 1930s during the Great Depression. There was a horrible economy and very high unemployment. During this time there are discrimination laws, segregation and a strict social code governed interactions between races. White people were “innocent until proven guilty” and “equality under the law” was supposedly an American principle, however, these standards did not apply to blacks. This story uses one of its main characters, Scout, to tell a story about family, life and struggle for equality. It is man versus society in this period of time.
The novel ends with a lesson that should be taught. Equality is the right way to treat one another.
I prefer "To kill a Mocking Bird".
I felt that it had the liveliest sense of life. a touching novel; and it so funny and likeable.
Please read it if any of ur had't read.
(ps : but it might put you to "Sleep".... hahaha)
