The Novels Overall—
I really enjoyed reading To
Kill a Mocking Bird and Frankenstein.
They both have very unique storyline, events, and characters that make the
novels attractive classics. To Kill a
Mockingbird is a book that many people, especially Americans, can relate
to. The story took place during the Great Depression and at a time where racism
was apart of regular society. Frankenstein
also provided a superb story with excellent portrayal of characters, but it
wasn’t something I could relate to. I have never seen a monster in my life but
I have seen people of color being discriminated by bigoted people. I have seen
black people be treated poorly and judged by stereotypes. I have seen Hispanic
people made fun of, especially the day laborers at hardware stores. I have seen
Asian Americans been bullied because of their lack of ability to stand up for
themselves. To Kill a Mockingbird takes
place in America ,
a familiar society where I have learned about racism and can feel the pain of
those who have been afflicted by it. Don’t get me wrong, I love both novels but
To Kill a Mockingbird could have
passed as a biography of a little girl living in Alabama and that felt more connected with
this novel than Frankenstein which
kind of had a science fiction tint to it. Overall, both novels were great and
their unique ways and I would, with no doubt, recommend them to anyone who is
itching for an inspirational and classic book to read
