To Kill A Mockingbird - A Short Review Posted By : Vanessa Vargas

The majority of students in the United States at some time in their schooling will be made to read the classic American tale "To Kill A Mockingbird." Whether these students are interested enough to understand it is another matter! I personally read the book and saw the movie when I was in the eighth grade, and I recently saw the movie for the second time as an adult so I thought I'd give a quick review.

"Sleep on your writing; take a walk over it; scrutinize it of a morning; review it of an afternoon; digest it after a meal; let it sleep in your drawer a twelvemonth; never venture a whisper about it to your friend, if he be an author especially. You may read selections to sensible women, -- if young the better."
A. Bronson Alcott
