Lord of the Flies is a book about a group of boys who find themselves stranded on an island with no adult supervision after a plane crash. The boys are forced to make hard decision that will determine their survival on the island. Unfortunately, not everyone will agree with the decisions the group makes.

One thing that annoyed me during the book is that the author dragged out a lot of the book way more than was necessary. Some of the times of tension in the book were ruined for me personally because I felt that the author dragged out the situation so much that there was no more tension and the scene didn’t have as much impact.

I felt that some of the characters didn’t get a lot of development and the characters that did get development didn’t develop very well. For the characters that did get development, they all seemed to develop the same way: they either went crazy or they went from confident to scared. The only character that I felt got decent character development was Ralph. In the story he starts as a brave, impulsive leader that does what he thinks is right, during the story he slowly matures and is forced to think of others, and by the end of the story he is scared, protective, and untrusting of those around him.

To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a classic piece of American literature. It deals heavily on the topics of racism and childhood innocence, and it also reminds us of how we let stereotyping determine our decisions for us. This novel takes place in Maycomb, Alabama and follows 2 main storylines, one of which is Boo Radley.

Children Scout, Jem and Dill are always lurking around the Radley Place, where supposedly Boo Radley is locked in a house after killed his father with a pair of scissors. The children start to see weird objects appear in trees surrounding the Radley Place, because of this they start to experience weird occurances.

The other plot is of an african american man named Tom Robinson. Tom is accused of raping Mayella Ewell, because of the racism issues in Maycomb, Tom is automatically assumed guilty. White lawyer, Atticus Finch tries to defend Tom in court which causes madness in the town.

“Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

I really enjoyed this book because it was a very exciting read, you really get to see the characters evolve in their thinking from start to finish. The book is quote lengthy but it never gets dull, there is always something happening, whether it be Atticus uncovering a new part of Tom’s case or  the kids finding new objects in the trees outside the Radley Place.
