"Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." Well the book revolves around this particular allegory and one can't stop wondering about the meaning of phrase. In order to understand the significance of the meaning i picked up the book from the book shelf and thought to myself that it's time that I read it. I have known for a certain time that this book is given to the school children because teachers feel that this classic literature is a good influence on the children. And for this very reason maybe I was reluctant to read it at the first.
It revolves around the moral lawyer who tries to explain ethics and teaches them about what's right and wrong prevalent in the society and refrain them from following the wrong practices.
In that era the social classes weren't equal and negroes were not given the equal share. So as the story goes on the black fella is convicted of the crime that he didn't committ. Atticus Finch the hero of the story tries to defend the defendent and while doing so bring about the real criminals. So as the story goes on there is a whole plethora that needs to be felt, emotion and dark humour that brings about the beautiful masterpiece.
Do give the book a shot if you haven't read it.
