Books filled with controversy rarely get recognition for shaping people’s lives; however‚ To Kill a Mockingbird overcomes this stereotype by showing the good in an otherwise not so good community. This community‚ known as Maycomb‚ exemplified traditional racial views that southerners held during the 1930’s.
