The award-winning novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee is a story that changes your life. In “To Kill a Mockingbird” , the children strive to see the famous Boo Radley , and they learned how hard life was for them in Maycomb during the unjust trial. Some people in Maycomb never understood why Atticus wanted to defend Tom Robinson , who is an African American man. “Miss Jean Louise , stand up. Your father’s passin”. I never imagined that after reading this novel that I would have a different mind set today. I look at life totally different now because prejudice can destroy a person. I tip my hat to Harper Lee for writing “To Kill a Mockingbird”. It was the best book that I have ever read. I have learned how prejudice can turn an innocent human being into an evil , cold-hearted creature. Jem and Scout went through a roller coaster ride , and it only showed how strong they really were because they survived.
This blog is for the use of 8th grade students to share and improve their writing. The students will respond to novel discussions and will choose topics of interest to blog about and I will moderate and administrate their posts. Our goal is to share our voices with an authentic audience who will provide us feedback on our thoughts. We hope you enjoy our work!
