From the Paper:

"Throughout history, authors of literature have used their words to convey emotions, ideas and beliefs. Now and again a work is so well written and so powerful that it becomes a classic. This is the case with Harper Lee's story, To Kill a Mockingbird. On the surface the story is about a little girl growing up in the Deep South and her experiences during that time period, but when one takes a second look it is easy to discover the book is also about morality, maturity, and society as a whole. The events of Scout's life as a child have a positive impact on her character and personality development and who she ultimately becomes as an adult. Her character is unique in that she is raised by a single father who takes a very hands off child driven approach to child rearing which allows her to experience life on her own terms as long as she is sage."
