SUMMARY
The background of this story is the Maycomb, a small town of Alabama. At this time, there was racial segregation. In this story it is mostly about the Tom Robinson who did sexual violence to a Mayella, a white girl. Atticus was not like other white people. He thought black people and white people have to treated same way. There is no difference, just skin color is different. They are same people. I can’t understand why people treated black people bad. Atticus defended Tom Robinson. When people heard that Atticus defending Tom Robinson, some people thought he is a Nigger-lover. Also Mrs. Dubose said he is a nigger-lover. Therefore, Jem was angry so he messed up Mrs. Dubose’s garden. Then he got punishment. He had to read a book for Mrs. Dubose. Then, after few days later, Mrs. Dubose died. She was a old morphine addict. She had some kind of disease that prompted her to take morphine as a pain killer. In that part Atticus said to Jem,
“I wanted to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.”
Also this was one of my favorite speeches.
Let’s continue Tom Robinson’s story. When the day of trial comes, first time Atticus loses. If Atticus loses, Tom Robinson has to sit on electrical chair and die. Finally, Atticus loses. Actually, it was not Tom Robinson’s fault. First, Mayella attempted so it is not Tom Robinson’s fault. Also people know that Tom Robinson didn’t commit a crime. After Atticus knew that it is not Tom Robinson’s fault, he begged to jury but they avoided. Tom Robinson had to die. Of course he didn’t want to die, so he decided to escape. Unfortunately, he was caught so he was shot dead. He is so poor. He didn’t do anything but he had to die because he is a black colored skin. It is unfair. White people were so rude to black people.
According to this book title, the author described the people who get hurt to mockingbird. In this story, it says to kill a mockingbird is a sin. Atticus said,
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy… but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
This was my favorite speech.

AFTER I READ THIS STORY
When I read this story, I felt many things. Why did they treated black people like that? Because of the skin color? It that’s the only reason, white people did really really wrong thing. It is same thing that they committed a crime. They have to reflect about that. Black people cried and they had pain. Many black people died because of racial segregation. Many black people cried over this racial segregation and they get the eye from other white people.
Anyway, this book was difficult to me but when I know the contents of a book, it was little interesting. Also there was many of an impressive speeches.
