Download or read book Mockingbird written by Charles J. Shields and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colorful life of the remarkable woman who created To Kill a Mockingbird—the classic that became a touchstone for generations of Americans To Kill a Mockingbird, the twentieth-century's most widely read American novel, has sold thirty million copies and still sells a million yearly. Yet despite the book's perennial popularity, its creator, Harper Lee has become a somewhat mysterious figure. Now, after years of research, Charles J. Shields has brought to life the warmhearted, high-spirited, and occasionally hardheaded woman who gave us two of American literature's most unforgettable characters—Atticus Finch and his daughter, Scout—and who contributed to the success of her lifelong friend Truman Capote's masterpiece, In Cold Blood. At the center of Shields's lively book is the story of Lee's struggle to create her famous novel. But her life contains many other highlights as well: her girlhood as a tomboy in overalls in tiny Monroeville, Alabama; the murder trial that made her beloved father's reputation and inspired her great work; her journey to Kansas as Capote's ally and research assistant to help report the story of the Clutter murders; the surrogate family she found in New York City. Drawing on six hundred interviews and much new information, Mockingbird is the first book ever written about Harper Lee. Highly entertaining, filled with humor and heart, this is an evocative portrait of a writer, her dream, and the place and people whom she made immortal.

This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of her life, Harper Lee was (reluctantly) famous for her classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee's newest book, Go Set a Watchman, caused quite a media frenzy even before its publication. This text examines how Lees Southern background (she was a descendant of General Robert E. Lee) and racial tensions in the Deep South during that time came together to influence the plot, characters, and themes of To Kill a Mockingbird. This volume also explores the history of Go Set a Watchman and the controversy surrounding it, comparing its themes and structure with Lee's beloved classic. Copious excerpts from the two works along with critical analysis help students interpret and understand the writings of this Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
Book Synopsis The Mockingbird Next Door by : Marja Mills
Download or read book The Mockingbird Next Door written by Marja Mills and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is one of the best loved novels of the twentieth century. But for the last fifty years, the novel’s celebrated author, Harper Lee, has said almost nothing on the record. Journalists have trekked to her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, where Harper Lee, known to her friends as Nelle, has lived with her sister, Alice, for decades, trying and failing to get an interview with the author. But in 2001, the Lee sisters opened their door to Chicago Tribune journalist Marja Mills. It was the beginning of a long conversation—and a great friendship. In 2004, with the Lees’ blessing, Mills moved into the house next door to the sisters. She spent the next eighteen months there, sharing coffee at McDonalds and trips to the Laundromat with Nelle, feeding the ducks and going out for catfish supper with the sisters, and exploring all over lower Alabama with the Lees’ inner circle of friends. Nelle shared her love of history, literature, and the Southern way of life with Mills, as well as her keen sense of how journalism should be practiced. As the sisters decided to let Mills tell their story, Nelle helped make sure she was getting the story—and the South—right. Alice, the keeper of the Lee family history, shared the stories of their family. The Mockingbird Next Door is the story of Mills’s friendship with the Lee sisters. It is a testament to the great intelligence, sharp wit, and tremendous storytelling power of these two women, especially that of Nelle. Mills was given a rare opportunity to know Nelle Harper Lee, to be part of the Lees’ life in Alabama, and to hear them reflect on their upbringing, their corner of the Deep South, how To Kill a Mockingbird affected their lives, and why Nelle Harper Lee chose to never write another novel.

Book Synopsis Harper Lee and Me by : David Dessauer
Download or read book Harper Lee and Me written by David Dessauer and published by Mill City Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harper Lee and Me is the result of five years of study by David Dessauer, as he dissected and explored the various "secrets" he found in the epic book To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAM). Although the author and Harper Lee never met, he felt an ongoing connection to her through his research, which involved finding secret metaphors, symbolism, allegories, and nuances in her writing. To get an even deeper understanding of Harper Lee's intent, Dessauer dug into the works that inspired her, including Les Misérables, the Bible and most of all, her beloved Rammer Jammer, a college magazine from her alma mater, the University of Alabama. In the end, Dessauer came to the conclusion that TKAM is a much deeper and more subtle book than most people realize, and he believes that he has uncovered the reason why Lee never spoke of the book for over 50 years. First time author David Dessauer is thrilled to see his long journey finally come to fruition. Over 5 years in the making with many a restless night trying to figure out all the ins and outs of the secrets that Harper Lee has surreptitiously inserted into To Kill a Mockingbird. He is a single father of 4 beautiful children, a former rugby player. He enjoys reading the classics, travelling, and scuba diving. He is a graduate of Wabash College, and as long as there is a quorum he can recite "Gunga Din" by heart.

Book Synopsis Quicklet on To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee by : Zachary Crockett
Download or read book Quicklet on To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee written by Zachary Crockett and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quicklets: Learn more. Read less. Harper Lee published To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960. Shortly thereafter, the book won the Pulitzer Prize and is now known as one of the greatest books ever written, selling over 30 million copies in 18 languages. The immediate fame the book achieved came as a shock to Lee, who never relished being in the spotlight. Much of Lee's novel is drawn from real events from her childhood in Monroeville, Alabama, during the Great Depression. As such, the racial and moral undertones of the book provide a very realistic portrait of southern life in the 1930s. The book's hero, Atticus Finch, is lauded as one of the great fictional moralists, a man who not only fought racial injustice, but defended his family through it all refused to compromise any of his values or integrity. Today, To Kill a Mockingbird is among the most commonly assigned books in high school English classes and seldom raises concerns over the controversial subjects it addresses. It has, to this day, never been out of print and has remained Harper Lee's one and only novel.
