Harper Lee, known for her novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," has passed away at age 89. Her death was confirmed on Friday by the City Hall in Monroeville, Alabama where she lived. Lee's family said, "The family of Nelle Harper Lee, of Monroeville, announced today, with great sadness, that Ms. Lee passed away in her sleep early this morning. Her passing was unexpected. she remained in good basic health until her passing. The family is in mourning and there will be a private funeral service in the upcoming days, as she had requested."
'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a classic piece of American Literature. Basically every freshman class in high school has read it and I must say that I actually really enjoyed the book. It highlights very well the happenings and mentalities of this time period in which it was written were. Harper Lee will always be known as an author who inspired many through this revolutionary phase of writing.

Harper Lee is one of my favorite authors of all time and To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book of all time. If you haven't read it, you really should stop reading this comment right now, run to the nearest bookstore or library and read it as many times as you can in your lifetime.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that her work will be remembered as classic literature. I hope that schools will keep To Kill a Mockingbird on reading lists forever.
