F or my book report, I read To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee. This is one of the most
important books in American history. The story
takes place in the American South during the
1930s. The main character is a young white girl,
Scout. Scout becomes friends with a strange
man, and he saves her life later. In addition, she
watches a terrible event: a man goes to prison, and
people kill him because he is black. She doesn’t
understand the reason, and she realizes that the world is unfair. This
book is very famous, and it is a famous movie, too. This story of Scout is
popular because it talks about social issues through a child’s eyes.
