"You stand up for the niggers, Atticus?"
- Of course, I'm defending. Don't say black, Scout, that sounds rude.
- Everyone says so at school.
- After that, he will be one person from everyone else."
From its first publication in 1960 to the present day, this book, which has a special place on the shelves of book lovers, deals with racism and inequality in the American South.
The most important part of the book for me was that, in addition to racism, it explained very well how a father should raise his children in a backward society. And the author described it very well from the eyes of 7-year-old Scout.
I will say that I was shocked to find out that Scout is a girl almost halfway through the book. I thought she was a boy since the beginning of the book and when the kids called her Miss Scout, I thought they were giving her the nickname because she was being a coward :D
Be sure to get this work which has great literary value and one learns a lot by reading it.
Finally, I will share one of my favorite sentences:
"Racism is not an ideological thought, but a psychological disease." -Malcolm X
As Malcolm X said, all forms of racism are diseases and viruses that must be eradicated. Judging a person who cannot choose his appearance by his race, language, and religion is only the skill of ignorant people.
