The author Harper Lee presents the important theme of racial discrimination in her

book. This issue was rarely paid attention to when she wrote this book. The author of the

book fully reflects the far-reaching impact of racial discrimination on society and the

annihilation of human nature. Use vivid examples to tell us the tragic consequences of this

corrupt social phenomenon.

This book adopts a first-person narrative perspective. The reason is that the

protagonist girl in the story is a character created by the author based on herself. She

adapted the story of her childhood experience and created this book. This unique style

creates a sense of different substitution for the readers of this book. The book's fictional town

"Maycomb" is in the context of the Great Depression in the United States, and many

symbols of the era can be seen in the book. For example, the lives of some poor children in

small towns and the lack of education.

Looking at the whole story from the perspective of the protagonist in the book, we

can deeply feel the consequences of her inability as a child to stop rumors and

discrimination. Readers can see her growth in the book and see that she has learned to

have her own clear judgment and a kind heart. And understand the importance of these

qualities in the face of discrimination. Her father, Atticus, as a character who company her

growing, always guides her when the protagonist is confused when facing problems in the

book and stands up firmly in the face of various doubts. He is a profound character with a

sacrificial spirit and heroism in the book. In addition, there are many impressive and vivid

characters in the book that are worthy for readers to experience. They all have their own

unique characters and qualities.

The plot design in the book is also very clever. According to the title, there are two

"mockingbirds" in the book. Their experiences are very similar. In the book, Auther Radly

was rumored to be like a monster by rumors in the neighborhood, and Tom Robinson was

wronged as a rapist because of racial discrimination. Nevertheless, the plots described in the

book all reveal that they are essentially kind, innocent, and helpful people. These plots show

that rumors and discrimination have blinded people and "killed those innocent

mockingbirds."

I think this book, as a well-deserved classic, has a slightly dark plot and irony in it and

is full of realism. It is worth thinking about when reading it, and it also has the unique warm

atmosphere of a fictional town in the context of the story at that time. I like the plot and

characterization of this book. It is not particularly long. The ending of the story is not very

perfect and expectant, but there is a kind of immersive and wonderful sense of reality. I

highly recommend it to other teen readers. The controversial theme in the book can guide

children to think and enlighten them.
