On the other hand, it can also be regarded as an educational novel, which has inspired a generation of young lawyers and social activists, gained popularity in middle schools all over the country and was deeply loved by everyone. When the Library of Congress conducted a survey on "Books that have had an impact on life" in 199 1, To Kill a Mockingbird ranked second, only after the Bible.
The author of this novel is harper lee, an American writer. She was born in a small town in southern Alabama in 1926, and published the only novel in her life, To Kill a Mockingbird, in 1960, which made her gain a great reputation. Besides writing, she also loves19th century literature and18th century music, and is particularly interested in cats and travel. He lived in seclusion in his hometown for many years, refused the media and various social activities, and never got married at the age of 89.
The novel is called To Kill a Mockingbird, and it is not difficult to perceive that the theme of the novel is undoubtedly related to "killing", with a certain bloody flavor. Everything is like a double-edged sword, so is language. On the one hand, it warms people's hearts, on the other hand, it kills people invisibly. There is no doubt that robins use figurative rhetoric, and there is a popular saying in the southern United States: "To Kill a Mockingbird is a sin." This is because-the robin just hummed beautiful music for people to enjoy, and did nothing bad. They don't eat flowers, fruits and vegetables grown in other people's yards, and they don't nest in barns. They just sing for us. Therefore, To Kill a Mockingbird is a crime.
This novel is divided into two parts. The article is described in the first person "I", which refers to the little girl Scoot, the daughter of lawyer Addicks, Jim's sister and Dill's friend. The first film impressed me most was the eccentric Radley. Because of the rumors in town, we are always curious about Radley, a strange man who is isolated from the world and whose doors and windows are closed. I'm afraid, but I won't give up looking for the answer. After school or after school, all kinds of pranks are staged in unison.
It turns out that Radley is not a freak, but a kind person. He will prepare candy for us, mend and return Jim's pants, bring me warmth when the snow and fire are filled, and save our lives when we are killed. I also learned a lot from Allard Leigh, a "freak". My father Addicks was right: "You can never really understand a person unless you walk from his point of view and think about it from his point of view."
In addition, the first part of the novel about Mrs. Dubos is also impressive. In my eyes, she is a terrible demon. Jim was very angry. Because of Mrs. Dubos's unkind comments about Eddie, he destroyed the camellia in her yard. As an apology, Eddie asked Jim to read to Mrs. Dubos for a month. Although Jim didn't like it, he had no choice but to go with me in the end. At the end of the study, we felt much more comfortable.
Soon after, Mrs. Dubos died and gave Jim a camellia gift box, which Jim hated. But after listening to his father Adikash's story about what happened to Mrs. Dubos, he suddenly realized. It turns out that Mrs. Dubos has been ill for a long time. She fought against the disease tenaciously and gave up drug addiction. Maybe she didn't listen to a word Tom read. Eddie just wants Tom to learn something from Mrs Dubos.
As the original text says: "I want you to see what is really brave, instead of mistakenly thinking that people with guns in their hands are brave." Courage is knowing that you are doomed to lose before you start, but you still do it without hesitation and stick to it no matter what happens ... When she died, she didn't care, didn't owe anyone, and didn't rely on anything. She is the bravest person I have ever met. "
The second part of the novel mainly tells the story of Addicks, as a lawyer, defending the black Tom Robinson. He is not disturbed by rumors and insists on equality and justice for all. In the process, he suffered a lot, including the finger pointing and bad words of outsiders to him and his family. However, he is calm, persuasive and patient, which is instructive to his children. They also realized the greatness of their father and learned a lot from it.
Jim, Scott and his child's friend Deere witnessed the trial in court. Although the truth is clear at a glance, even the children in the text can understand it. However, due to the social background at that time, there was obvious racial discrimination: the status of whites and blacks was very different, and finally Tom's tragedy was irreparable. In the face of such an ending, everyone is very angry.
Because of this trial, Addicks damaged the face and interests of Baimayella and his father, and made them suffer contempt from others. So, when Jim and Kupao came home from a performance in the evening, they met Maiella's father's revenge. Jim almost lost his life, thanks to Radley's timely help. Because of this, my view of Radley has completely changed, and I feel his kindness and warmth.
As the back cover of the novel says, "There is one thing that cannot follow the principle of conformity, and that is people's conscience." Addicks is undoubtedly a great lawyer and a great father. He insists on inner justice and keeps his inner conscience. In the face of children, he is persuasive and patient, so that children can find truth in the fog, experience grace in hardship and accumulate righteousness in injustice. Although I have experienced the growth of wind and rain, I also feel the warmth and true feelings of the world.
