    Good morning, everyone.

    Today I’m going to present a personal review of a powerful literary masterpiece by Harper Lee, To
    Kill a mocking bird.

    Slide 2:

    To kill a mocking bird depicts the powerful story of justice and racism narrated through the eyes of a
    child which is truly inspiring and impactful. The novel is a coming-of-age story of the protagonist
    Scout, who learns about the brutal reality of life as she grows up. A central theme of the story is
    racism. A white woman accusing a black man of rape resulting in killing of the black man.

    The mains characters include Scout, the narrator and the protagonist(main lead), her father Atticus,
    who fights for the justice in the story. There Jeremy, Scouts brother, boo radley- scouts neighbor.
    Tom Robinson: The black man accused of rape. Mayella Ewell: The white women who accused Tom
    of rape. Mayella’s father (Bob): Forced Mayella to accuse Tom.

    Moving on slide 3:

    After the basic outline of the story, I would like to highlight the elements to appreciate the story.

    First is the Un-biased Narrator: Choosing the child narrator provides an opportunity for the reader to
    learn without having any pre-conceived notion about the subject of the novel. Harper lee wanted
    her reader to have an open mind and learn the realities just like a child. Like Scout, every one of us
    comes across the harsh reality of world. To have an unbiased perspective towards world is very
    important

    Second is the Lessons to see the world through different eyes: Atticus has been seen in the story
    correcting his kids to not have any pre-conceived notions about people. He tells them to not judge
    people because of their appearance or colour. I believe this is one of the most important learning of
    life, to empathize with people and try to understand their perspective.

    Third is the co-existence of good and evil: The story has a balance between good and evil just like in
    real life. The racial discrimination, false trial and murder of Tom Robinson portray the evil while the
    deeds of Atticus and Boo Radley depicts good. Similarly in real life we have to live with the fact that
    good and bad co-exist and we should be affected by evil as there is good to balance it out.

    Slide 4:

    Moving on to next slide, I would like to presents the themes that I criticize in the story.

    Starting with the Injustice/racism: Atticus provides clear evidence that the accusers, Mayella Ewell
    and her father, Bob, are lying: in reality, Mayella suggested that Tom Robinson was caught by her
    father, and then accused Tom of rape to cover up her shame and guilt. Atticus provides impressive
    proof that the marks on the face of Mayella are from wounds inflicted by her father; he called her a
    whore and beat her upon discovering her with Tom. Yet the all-white jury convicts him, despite the
    important evidence that points to Tom's innocence. The innocent Tom subsequently tries to escape
    from jail and is shot to death. I don’t criticize the expression of injustice in the novel. I criticize the
    whole idea of injustice which people are facing for a long time.

    Next is Stereotyping: The whole injustice served in the novel came from the innate stereotype of
    black guy raping a white woman. The whole black community is stereotyped of being violent,
    monstrous and inhuman. This stereotyping creates judgement which is not justified.
    Lastly the Gender inequality: According to the book, women in the South were supposed to be
    delicate and dainty, ideas that Scout abhors; and women were not qualified to serve on juries in
    Maycomb. In her class, Scout enjoys adventure and can punch as well as any boy. She finds it tough
    to step into a Southern lady's mould. Her aunt keeps bothering scout to behave like a lady but it is
    hard for her to compromise. I truly detest the biased nature of society towards gender.
