“To Kill a Mockingbird”is written by Harper Lee. It is a story about Jem and Scout , two children living with their father Atticus, a lawyer,  in Maycomb during the Great Depression.  Atticus has to defend a black man Tom Robinson in court because they accused him of raping a white woman.

Atticus wanted to teach his children about moral values in life by giving them a good example to do the right thing.
