I don't think this book was written just for entertainment, like many books are; I believe that this book was written with a purpose in mind. I just got finished reading Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the more I look, the more similarities I see in what the writer was trying to accomplish. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, wrote the book as an anti-slavery message. She used the story to motivate the abolitionist movement, as well as to show people the true horrors of slavery. Harper Lee, while born too late to fight against slavery, still used her opportunity to fight for equal rights. To Kill a Mockingbird worked to expose the ugly truth, just like Uncle Toms Cabin. The truth was that the story of Tom Robinson wasn't fiction, and neither was Uncle Tom's; it was the grim reality that people didn't want to admit was happening all over the country. And it needed to change. |

I agree I think that Harper Lee used the book to draw attention to the harsh reality that many people still faced discrimination of all forms. She does this pretty well showing discrimination against race, class, and sex through the characters and using Atticus to correct these mistakes.

Harper Lee most likely wrote this because of how frustrated she felt with the discrimination that was being practiced all across the country. Lee used the character of Atticus to characterize her thoughts and feelings towards the injustice that African Americans faced. Lee then used the character of Scout to represent the audience or the bystander looking in to her feelings so to speak. This method of story telling was most likely one of the contributing factors to To Kill a Mocking Bird's success and therefore how it got Harper Lee's message across.

New Kids on the Block is my favourite pop-band of 90s. NKOTB had so many hit songs! The ones I remember are 'Tonight', 'Baby, I Believe In You' and, of course their hit 'Step By Step'. These are real masterpieces, not fake ones like today! And it is awesome they have a tour in 2019! So I'm going to visit New Kids on the Block concert this year.
