Synopsis: Through the Great Depression in United States in the 30s, in the southern part of US lies a sleepy town of Albama, called Maycomb. There lives the Finch family. In the summer times, Dill come to Maycomb to play with Scout (Jean Louis Finch) and Jem ( Jeremy Atticus Finch, Scout's brother, he is 4years senior of Scout). They act out clips from the books and the stories, or even stories from real life. After a while, Scout and Dill got bored of acting the same thing over and over, Jem got tired of making up stories for them to act and play. So there comes this idea of going on an advantage to the spooky house across the street called the Radley's Place. Scout and Jem's father, Atticus Finch is a lawyer in Maycomb County. Because of the Finch's Landing, he had relationship with most of the Maycombs in blood or marriage. Time passes, nothing seem to changed. But the three innocent and lively children had changed gradually because of the two unjusted cases that Atticus had to handled. Prejudice and discriminate against black people block peoples' views, manslaughter Tom, who is just trying to escape. Through out these disaster that they saw, made them slowly but painstaking to unerstand adults' world full with prejudice and indifferent. To understand that how much crisis, danger and have no alternative are included in truth. Also trying to understand that the very innermost being of a 'bad people' may be innocent too. It is always wrong to kill a mockingbird.

To our classroom
Our school is an international school, which means there are children come from all over the world. We should understand each other, no bully in the hallways. Accept others culture, help them to feel comfort in this culture. No prejudice against any of us, we are all equal human being.
To the home
Maybe for parents, they should treat their children equally in every way. Don't give special attention to on of them because he/or she is better than the others in studying, or just simply because he/she is a boy/girl.
To the community
The society should avoid these cases of killing a mockingbird. Which means killed a actual good person by mistake or it is meant to be. Because we are all lively human being. If you have the little bit of civility, then you should take responsibility for your own mistake, instead of blaming it to someone else, and they have to risk their live for you, who may not even be related to in any ways.
To me
The story teach me more zbout how to treat people, how is the society that we are going to enter when we grow. And to understand that everyone is equal, should be equal, but also different. So you have to view from different view, think in another posittion, then you will know who they are. Don't judge people from one.
