To Kill a Mockingbird
78Worth an evening.
Still the book. Read it, and do not let the argument about it replace it.
The review
The book is a child's eye on a father's defeat. Atticus does not win, and the book does not pretend the town was waiting to be impressed. That is more useful than a story where the good people are rewarded by the crowd.
Read the trial. Then read the last chapters, which are about Boo Radley and a child's conscience, not about a speech. The speech is the part people quote so they can skip the porch.
Journal
Keep To Kill a Mockingbird in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 78. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety is the thin one.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
