A concise, brief summary,

of ” To kill a Mockingbird ” by Harper Lee.

This book did greatly inspire me,

to read for law and a lawyer to be.

 

A theme of racism and prejudice

in the book is interwoven,

picking at the fabric of society

and causing a corrosion.

 

Atticus, the Attorney,  sets out to defend

an innocent black man,

for raping a white woman, he us unjustly accused.

Because of a racist and prejudiced jury,

Atticus fails in his plan.

 

Imparting gems of knowledge

to his son and daughter

to become righteous people,

by emulating his character.

 

Personal Parallels to this book, I can draw,

like Atticus,  I have also studied the law.

Just like Jack Finch, my brother is also a doctor.

Innocent, kind and respectful are my son and daughter.
