Good book recommended "To Kill a Mockingbird (original film of the same name)"

The story unfolds from the perspective of a six-year-old girl, and the first half is bland. It's just the childhood life of children, full of curiosity and mischief. Just like when we were young, we would always be curious about an empty house somewhere nearby, eager to leave the sight of our parents to be free, eager to leave the campus to spread wilderness in nature, confused by some gossip that seemed to be incomprehensible, and afraid of strange people and the unknown world outside...

At least after reading the first part, I only got this information - robins, unlike blue-crowned crows, just hum beautiful music for people to enjoy, don't do anything bad, they don't eat the flowers, fruits and vegetables grown in people's yards, and they don't nest in barns.

However, as the story progresses, it is only then that it is clear what the text means by "killing a mockingbird is a crime", because the robin is the embodiment of goodness. The "strange man" Adélie, who had never appeared next door, was not afraid, but was actually very kind, and the small gifts placed many times in the tree hole could bear witness. The eccentric old lady is not a witch, but when fighting against drug addiction and stubborn diseases, she hopes that the child will help her distract her, as the white crystalline and flawless camellia flower can explain. Black people are not, they are not inferior, they are just as hardworking, polite, kind and amiable...

In fact, most people are kind, and when you finally get to know them. So-called, because it understands, it is compassionate. I especially liked this father, Atticus, especially his performance in court. When Majella shouts in court for every gentleman present to do justice for her, morality becomes a code of conduct that does not require people to think about it. People tend to maintain a kind of "consistency" with people in their own group, rather than thinking about the right and wrong of things themselves. It is just that such a moral concept is immoral in its essence, and the sense of justice based on this basis is itself hypocritical. However, Atticus did not choose to conform to the crowd, but followed his inner conscience. It is this kind of justice and perseverance that makes people respected.

As the children grew up, Atticus was even better. He did not shy away from any questions, and when his aunt wanted to avoid certain sensitive topics with the children, he said that since the children were already in such an environment, they should learn how to face it, and when faced with the danger of mad dogs attacking, he could not hesitate to raise the shotgun that he had not touched for a long time, and his daughter asked him, "Hate Hitler, right?" His answer was that it was okay to hate anyone. It is this demeanor and tolerance that makes people move.

The little girl was lucky, and all that she was confused about had an echo. Atticus was wise, and he allowed children to see sin and ugliness. Because the story is about a small town in the South of the United States during the Great Depression, it has its characteristics of the times. The little girl once asked, "Why did the neighbor hate Hitler so much, but turn around and be so vicious against the people in his hometown?" The answer is—because you're a child, you've never seen the world, and your thinking and reasoning haven't been disturbed too much, so you can understand the pain that white people bring to black people.

Frankly, in my childhood upbringing, the role of father was always missing in my heart. It can be said that it is this book that has established an ideal and perfect image in my heart (the image of fatherly love ≠ father, the image is missing≠ the father's love is missing). We need someone to show us the way. Especially in childhood, but in our country, in our generation, some parents are actually very inadequate, which involves many aspects, rather than calling it a generation gap, it is better to say that we no longer get strength from our parents. Conversely, the fathers of our generation no longer give us strength. And Jem and Scout always get strength from their fathers at all times, and happy people are healed by childhood all their lives, such as Scout. Unfortunate people spend their whole lives healing childhood, such as Mayera.

Looking back at today, we may not be able to encounter problems like black people, homosexuality, and religious beliefs in our entire lives, but this does not deny that we are not prejudiced, even discriminatory. Think about it, from childhood all the way through the baptism of the world, have you ever integrated those specious "consistencies" to rationalize your choices? Knowing that this "consistency" is a reasonable prejudice, have you ever bullied or even killed some robins?

Think about what kind of family environment raises violence? What kind of education system erases imagination? What kind of social climate creates indifference? In fact, each of us, to a greater or lesser extent, holds the bullet of prejudice, has pointed it at an innocent life, has not reflected, has not doubted it, and is therefore killing more and more robins. It is very easy for a person, without wind and rain, to maintain innocence and kindness. It is rare that no matter how many tribulations you have experienced, there will be no malice in your heart.

Neither the greatest men can resist stubborn prejudices, but neither can the most stubborn prejudices resist the tenderness of the hearts of those who are well-meaning. To paraphrase a cliché, it is 'may we run away for half a lifetime, and return as teenagers'.

This is a book worth reading over and over again!!

1. Reading is like a person's breath, even if you don't like it, you can't stop it.

2. Summer means all kinds of delicious things, it is a dry landscape with thousands of colors.

3. There are just some people who are so worried about the afterlife that they have not learned how to live in this world.

4. Raise your head and lower your fists. No matter what others say to you, don't get angry. Try to fight with your head.

5. When a child asks you a question, for God's sake, answer him well. Don't make up stories. Children are children, but they can find out more quickly than adults that you are avoiding, and this avoidance will only confuse them. Swearing is a stage that every child goes through, and as they grow, when they know that it won't attract attention, they will automatically break bad habits. But grumpy temper doesn't.

6. It doesn't matter how many blue birds you shoot, but remember that killing a robin is a sin. Robins only sing to us and do nothing bad. They don't eat the flowers, fruits and vegetables in people's gardens, they don't make nests in corn silos, they just sing for us wholeheartedly. That's why killing a mockingbird is a sin.

7. If there is anything special about your father, it is his civilized and noble heart. Good marksmanship is a God-given gift, a talent — of course, you need to practice to make your technique perfect, but shooting is different from playing the piano or anything else. He may have realized that God had given him an unfair advantage over other animals, so he put the gun down.

8. People of good mind never take pride in their talents.

9. There is one thing that cannot follow the principle of conformity, and that is the conscience of man.

10. What is true bravery, and do not mistakenly think that a person holding a gun is bravery. Bravery is when you know you're going to lose before you even start, but you still have to do it and stick to it anyway.

11. There is no need to say everything you know. People don't like that they have someone around them who knows more than they do. That would make them very annoyed. No matter how right you say it, you can't change these people. Unless they want to learn it themselves, there is nothing they can do. You either shut up or you use their language.

12. Man has to lie in a certain situation and must not lie in the absence of any power.

13. I have the impression that "good people" are those who do their best according to their own insights.

14. Atticus once said that one way to tell if a witness is to listen, not to see.

15. "You mean you drink all Coca-Cola from your paper bag?" Pure Coca-Cola? ”

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why... Oh, you mean why should I pretend? This one. It's very simple. He said, "Some people don't like ... My lifestyle. I can say get their eggs out of here, I don't care if they like it or not. I really don't care if they like it or not — but I'm not saying get their eggs out. Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand, sir."

"You see, I just let them get a reason. If people can't find that reason, I can help them by doing so. I rarely came to town, and every time I came, if I was shaky and covered with paper bags and stuff, people could say dolce Raymond was controlled by whiskey – so he wouldn't change his lifestyle. He couldn't control himself, that's why he lived that life. ”

"It's not honest, but it's going to help people. Miss Finch, I don't really drink much, but you know, they'll never understand that I live this way because that's the way I want to live.

I've never met a man like this who deliberately pretended to be depraved to destroy his image. But why did he tell us the secrets he had hidden?

"Because you are children and understandable," he said, shaking his head at Deere, "his nature has not been destroyed." When he grows up, he won't feel sick and won't cry about it anymore. Maybe it would shock him —it didn't feel right, but he wouldn't cry anymore, and in a few years he wouldn't cry about it again. ”

"Crying for what?"

"Weep for the suffering that people bring to people – they don't even think about it when they do it. Crying over the suffering that white people inflict on black people, they don't even want to stop and think that they are actually human beings. ”

16. "Don't be bothered. Things have never been as bad as they seem."

17. "So far nothing in your life has conflicted with your logical reasoning. The group ended up leaving not because they were reasonable, but because we were there. We live in a world where there are things that can make people lose their minds — they can't be fair no matter how hard they try. These are ugly, but they are social reality. As you get older, you'll see more of these things.

18. When I pass by that old place, I sometimes feel a pang of guilt when I think about what I have been involved in. Those things were pure torture for Arthur Radley—what real hermit wanted a child to peek out of the window, deliver a letter with a bamboo pole, and wander through his mustard field in the middle of the night?

19. Among the neighbors, food is given to the dead in the house, flowers are given to the sick in the house, and small gifts are given in other cases. The freaks are our neighbors. He gave us two soap dolls, a pocket watch and bracelet that does not go away, a pair of auspicious coins, and our lives. But the neighbors were courteous, and we never let anything in return in the hole in the tree where we took things—we never gave him anything, which made me sad.

20. "Unless you put on a man's shoes and walk around like him, you can never really get to know a man."

21. I was determined to wake up, but the sound of the rain was so soft, the room was so warm, his voice was so deep, and his knees were so comfortable, I fell asleep unconsciously.

22. "Scutt, when you finally get to know them, you will find that most people are good people.
