It is a easy to read book, the story is simply easy to follow but inspiring.
The story start with the little girl Scott Finch, telling the story about Boo Randley, which describe as the phantom in their city－Maycomb County. Well, let me think how should I start the whole thing up, as i am always not good at telling story...
Ok, i give up on telling the story, instead, i will just simply describe the book, and just let you grap some idea of it. It is rather like a forgotten view from a child we all had once. The little girl Scott Finch keep questioning some seem 'normal truth' and from questioning those norms, it bring us back again to doubt those norms again. There are lots of question brought up by this little young girl, and some many incident has happened, the Boo Randley stuff, the Tom Robinson trial, the Dolphus Raymond pretending, and Bob Ewell death etc. But i guess behind all these question and incident, the writer was trying to point to the question, what is a righteous way to live, and what I get, is do not kill a mockingbird. Here i direct qoute the paragraph,
And before ending, i would like to share 6 of my favourite quotes from this book as the round up, and give you more idea what this book is about.

引用"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit them, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
“Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

- “With him, life was routine; without him, life was unbearable.”
- “The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.”
- “Before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”
- “Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
- "I think I'll be a clown when I get grown," said Dill. "Yes, sir, a clown.... There ain't one thing in this world I can do about folks except laugh, so I'm gonna join the circus and laugh my head off." "You got it backwards, Dill," said Jem. "Clowns are sad, it's folks that laugh at them." "Well, I'm gonna be a new kind of clown. I'm gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at the folks."
- “But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal—there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court. It can be the Supreme Court of the United States or the humblest J.P. court in the land, or this honorable court which you serve. Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal.”
