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.
