Favorite Book for Class and Life

To Kill a Mockingbird is not only loved by millions around the world, it is also loved by me therefore being my favorite piece of literature discussed in my AP English and Language class. I had heard all around that this novel was a spectacular one, but did not believe it until I actually read it myself. I was angry that we had to read novels during our precious summer break, but when I began reading this one, suddenly my boredom had faded away. I have no siblings but the love and care siblings have for each other melts my heart and has me searching for more. The main characters in the book, Scout and Jem, had an imaginative, innocent, carefree, joyful childhood. They played with each other, relied on each other, cared for each other, loved each other, and were best friends. When reality hit their lives and suddenly all was turning worse, they still stuck together and did not leave each others' sights. This is the reason this book is so heart catching. This book taught me that once you know and trust someone, they will always have your back. It also taught me never to be prejudice and judge people or things by their covers or what has been said about them. The entire book was based on prejudice thoughts. Boo Radley was being judged and feared from throughout the book, but at the end the one that was there to save the day was really only him. He now was more than a neighbor, more than a story, more than a scary man to Scout and Jem. He now was a friend.
