To Kill a Mockingbird.. and why we read it

To Kill a Mockingbird was a novel that almost everyone in Canada and possibly, North America, already read. I thought it was a good idea to reference it since we all should have read in school. The Library of Congress says that this book was the must-read book of all time. Not to criticize it, but maybe it received this recognition because every English teacher shoved the hidden literary devices down our throat during essay time. This was a good read for me, only because it was easy thinking of themes and overall essay ideas to write about. That’s probably why they made us read it, so much to look into…
