To Kill a Mockingbird
Greater attention is given to the historical social climate of the era in this revised unit. This story about a small Alabama town in the 1930s is told from a child’s point of view. To Kill a Mockingbird emphasizes themes of racial prejudice, social ostracism, the maturation process, and provincial pride in ancestry, tradition, conformity, and class structure. Readers recognize Harper Lee’s truth: that amidst darkness and evil, humanity still experiences goodness and faith. Her condemnation of prejudice and her willingness to expose hypocrisy hold a mirror up to all who will see.
