Book: Go Set a Watchman
Author: Happer Lee
What if something you have long believed
becomes fake? What if the belief you have is a lie?
This book was written by the author of “To Kill
a Mockingbird”, a famous modern novel which describes the racial discrimination
problems in America. I chose this book for it’s called the sequel of the book “To
Kill a Mockingbird”, but the content of this novel is far different from the
original one.
The girl in “To Kill a Mockingbird” has
grown up, and she found out her father who she had long respected is the member
of Ku Klux Klan(3K). In her childhood, her father, a white man lawyer, once helped
with a black man who was accused of raping a woman, which was intolerable in
that era. As a result, she had believed her father as a hero been proud of him.
However, as she gradually grew up, she discovered her father is nothing but a hypocrite. How could she afford such a big pound in her mind? Did she mistake anything? What happened to her great father? Through the perspectives of the girl, I started to remind how a person judge one thing, and how the experience can affect human.
You made me wanna read this novel on my own after reading your post, because I'm also interested in this kind of topic. Looking forward to your new post:)
