To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee is a classic tale of growing up in the south during major segregation. Many of the negative parts of this book were things like, Mrs. Dubose’s drug addiction, Boo (Arthur) Radley being locked up in his house by his slightly crazy father, and the alcoholism, poverty, white trash of the Ewells. Some of the positive aspects of the book were when Boo gave the kids all of the little trinkets and toys. Or when Jem receives one of Mrs. Dubose’s flowers as a sign that what happened between them; all the hatred and hurtful words, was all over. Finally, when Boo saves Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell the night of the pageant. Many thing have happened to these kids in just a span of three years, and not all of it was good.
