Review
A look into the lives of a smalltown Southern family reveals not only the life lessons one learns when growing up, but the life lessons that keep one in a state of oppression insterad of progress. Local commentary on looking at diffrences in color, upbringing, and life circumstances reveals to Scout that her world isn't as safe or consistent as she once thought. A wonderful fiction that brings up good points on social justice, and learning to deal with people who are diffrent.
