To kill a mockingbird
All this time I've been wondering what is upbringing? People who are highly educated are more educated than those who are uneducated? Are those who read more educated than those who don't? A teacher is better educated than a cement worker? What education is, after reading To Kill a Mockingbird gave me the deepest: respect, courage, equality.
To Kill a Mockingbird was written by American author Harper Lee. It's a story from the perspective of a young girl in the American South during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Atticus Finch is a lawyer whose family's life changes when his father defends a falsely accused black man. But instead of focusing on racism and injustice, the novel asks people to examine: What is kindness? What is faith? How do hatred and prejudice spread among people? More importantly, how Daddy Finch protected the faith in his child.
"Zhigen sang to us and did nothing wrong. They don't eat fruits and vegetables in people's gardens, they don't sit in the corn barn, they just sing for us heartily "" It doesn't matter how many blue birds you shoot, but remember. To kill a mockingbird is a sin." Later, she faces an elderly woman who is struggling to kick her drug addiction before she dies. The father also talked about courage to his son who made mistakes. "I want you to see what it means to be brave and not make the mistake of thinking that a man with a gun in his hand is brave." Courage is when you already know you're going to lose before you even start, but you still have to do it, and you already know you're going to lose anyway, but you still have to do it, and you have to stick to it no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do."
The most fascinating part of the novel is Finch's defense of black people who have been wronged. It was known from the beginning that he would fail. The girl's brother was unhappy with the members of the panel. Finch said, "So far, nothing in your life has contradicted your logical reasoning. We live in a world where there are things that make people crazy, and they can't be fair no matter how hard they try. These are ugly, but they are social realities."
The daughter asked, "Then why do you do it?"
"Just because we lost a hundred years before that doesn't mean we don't have a reason to win." Before I can live with others, I first have to live with myself. There is one thing that cannot follow the principle of conformity, and that is the conscience of man." This is Dad's answer. Finch wasn't just a lawyer, he was the father of two children. So he was more concerned about what the child thought of the father, who was a lawyer. When justice and prejudice, kindness and hatred appear in life, children make choices because of what.
