Harper Lee tells the story of a little girl, and what she goes through while her father is defending a black man. The narrator's father was a lawyer who represented the black man being charged of raping a white woman. The narrator being only a little kid tries to understand the racist and prejudicest world around her. Lee explains the hardship this family goes through as the father tries to do the right thing.
The book had a very good lesson and explained everything the right way. Lee held nothing back and didn't care if it upset some people. Eventhough the father fought a very good argument during the trial, the black man still was put in jail. This is typical of what happened in does types of cases in the 1930's. It didn't matter how it happened or who was responsible, the blacks would always be guilty and the whites would always be right back then.
