I am doing a project for humanities and i need your help. I need people who have read the book "To Kill a Mocking Bird" to tell me if they like this book and if it has impacted them in any way. I would really appreciate it.

read the book for the first time when i was 14, then again in college when i was 20. when i was 14 i loved the book and it moved me, but i wasn't mature enough to realize the importance behind the message of it and see the nuances of the character and charater development. When i re-read it as an adult i was able to see it in a whole new light and appreciate it for the simplicity of the story and the language as well as the complexity of it and the moral implications behind it. It impacted me so much that i plan on naming my first daughter Isabella Scout.

It's one of my favorite books, ever. I loved it. I think Harper Lee captured that time period and the issues of racism in the south beautifully. Her characters are real and can be easily related to. To Kill a Mockingbird is as relevant today as it was in 1960. I think the biggest impact on my life was that it made me aware of the difficulties raising non-racist children in the south. It also showed that raising non-racist children is possible.

yes, my favorite part was when the father talked about courage. He said that courage is fighting even when you know you are going to loose.

The book isn't as much about racism as it was about free will and the consequences of having it. It is also about lost innocence. (Think of Scout's experience as equivilent to the Fall of Man-- gaining knowledge about right and wrong.) Which brings us back to free will.
