Summary: Review about " To Kill a Mockingbird "
Review: The novel " To Kill a Mockingbird " by Harper Lee is about a girl called Scout. She grows up in this novel in the 1930`s. Her father Atticus is a widowed lawyer and defends the Afrian American Tom Robinson. Scouts brother is called Jem. Their cook Calpurnia is a black women. She is like a mother for Scout. Scout and Jem are very modern educated. Atticus teaches them to treat everybody equally. He is a very important model for both.
To my mind the first chapters are very boring and difficult to read, because Harper Lee tells too much about the children Scout, Jem and their friend Dill. Even the account of the citizens and their relationship could be shorter.
Wighing the pros and cons one comes to the conclusion that this book informes the reader very well about the situation in America in the 1930`s. It tells a lot about the society and the living at this time.

Summary: Review "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Review: The novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee is about the narrator Scout who grows up. She lives with her father, her brother und the family's cook Calpurnia in a little town called Maycomb in the southern states of the USA. Her father Atticus is a lawyer who defends Tom Robinson, a black man, who is accused of having raped a white girl.
Atticus tries to show his children the importance of equality and honesty. For him all men are equal and that is why he defends Tom Robinson to give him a fair trial.
A negative aspect of this novel is the describtion of the first part where Scout and Jem try to understand the living conditions of a mysteric man in the neighbourhood.
But on the whole the novel is well-done because it informs the reader about the situation in the south of America in the 1930's. The society and its way of life are described very interstingly. People are very conservative and have many prejudices against blacks. For them money and reputation are more important than one's character. So the great injustfice of this time becomes clear.

Summary: To kill a mockingbird
Review: The novel "To kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee is about the narrator Scout who is a little girl and grows up in this novel. she lives with her father Atticus, her brother Jem and their cook Calpurnia in a little town called Maycomb.
Atticus is a lawyer who defends Tom Robinson, a black man who is accused of raping a white girl. Equality and honesty are very important for Atticus and he teaches his children to live according to his principles.
At the beginning of the novel the author tells too much about Scout, Jem and her friend Dill who bother the mystery man next door. The author also write too much about the citizens in Maycomb, especially about Scout neighbours.
The society has many prejudices against blacks and the great injustice is shown during the trial of Tom Robinson.
All in all it is an interesting book because the reader is well informed about the situation in the Southern States of America in the 1930s and the society and their way of life at that time.

Summary: Review "To kill a Mockingbird"
Review: Harper Lee published a book about racism seen from a child`s view.
The story takes place in a southern state of the USA in the 1930's.
The novel is about a man called Atticus Finch, a lawyer, who lives in a small town and who is considered to be well off.He lives there with his daughter called Scout, his son Jem and their cook Calpurnia, who is black.
Atticus doesn't see any place for prejudice of any kind.He is called to defend the black man Tom Robinson who is accused of raping a white girl.He knew this case would be difficult to win and could totally change his life.The story seems to focus on the representation of the mockingbird as a symbol of innocence.Atticus was portrayed as a man who thought compassion and honesty to his children.He brings himself and his children into a dangerous situation by defending a black man, but he is convinced that it is very important to show the residents of Maycomb that Tom is innocent and that they are stupid not to believe him.
To my mind This novel is really worth reading because this theme is present everyime.

Summary: History alive !!!
Review: WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT THE BOOK BEFORE READING IT "To Kill a Mockingbird" - the title of this book well-known and spread over nearly the whole world sounds unspectacular, perhaps even not very sympathic because including the two words "kill" and "Mockingbird", what, when having this words connected in that way, sounds as if the book was about killing some birds. That, of course, isn't the most-liked topic of many readers. And even if you knew what the book was about, you wouldn't just buy or read it. We all know the theme the book deals with is an old theme. A theme that has been covered in many books before, in many films before: The book covers a dark - litterally dark -chapter of American history: The fight Black aainst White. Nothing new, in so far. REALITY You might think so. But: Reality runs another way. The book is only great. I don't really know to describe why, but you can surely call it "history alive !!!" It's not an ordinary history-book as you can get them on each corner, in different layouts and written by different authors, but with the same content again and again and again and....
This book is a story-telling book, but besides it informates. Not many authors get this contrasts together, Harper Jane Lee does. My problem is that I don't know why. Perhaps there are this great characters of Scout and the family, this Atticus-Finch-character, a character we would like to find in some of our politicians sometimes. But there can't be only the characters making this book so great. Maybe there is this town of Maycomb: Harper Lee creates a whole town with all it's problems and advantages, with houses and many citizens that, even if they only appear for a short time, are described so detailled that they seem to live. READ IT! At all, I just can say the book made me angry. It didn't make me angry because it was bad, it was very good, but during reading it, I had to change my mind - and I don't like being forced to cange my mind. At the beginning I thought "Oh no, again a book about blacks and whites" but it is more than that, it's nearly, oh, nonsense, it IS a perfect book. But you have to read it because to understand why, I at least am not able to describe the reason in a proper way. So: READ IT !!!!

Summary: Fear, Hate, Racism
Review: By reading Harper Lee's over 30.000.000 sold novel, which also won the Pulizer Prize, the reader can explore the prejudices against the unknown and the racism of a province in the 1930's trough the eyes of the young girl Scout, a laywyer's daughter. Scout and her brother Jem are frightened of Boo Radley, who isn't known by the people in Maycomb, although there are a lot of rumors about him. The lawyer Atticus Finch defends the afro-american man Tom Robinson, who is accused of raping the poor white girl Mayella Ewells. This book fascinates me, because it shows the racism and hate of this world from another perspective than the most other novels do. It shows that it is wrong to judge people only because they are different from you.

Summary: To kill a mockingbird
Review: Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", awardedwith the Pulitzer Prize, is about a young girl called Scout growing up. Her father, a lawyer, defends an Afro-American in court. The name of her fathers client is Tom Robinson, hwo is charged with the rape of a white girl. Maycomb's society does not believe in Tom's innocence, but Scout's Father is fighting for justice. This novel shows the irrationalityof adult opinions about social classes and racial diffrences in the Bible Belt of the thirties.
It's a very authentic novel by a very talented author with such a lovely sense of humour. An absolutely must
