Absolutely not. It is one of my favorite books, and will always be a classic. Who wrote it doesn't change the content or the story.

To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the greatest books ever written. The depth of the story is something that can't be found even in the books that are considered to be literary masterpeices of all time...It really could be less relevant as to whether Harper Lee had any help writing this book since the most tragic aspect of the entire deal is that with or without help, Harper Lee never wrote another book.

Well, since it was Truman Capote who "helped" write the book (actually wrote the majority of it, which can even be determined by statistical analysis of the language and sentence structure), it probably did affect the book and thus, by extension, the way most people view it. After all Lee didn't attain the same level of literary achievement Capote did--outside of To Kill A Mockingbird what else of note did she write? (Yes, she--Harper Lee was a woman to those confused posters below who don't seem to know that.) Capote could take over the writing, by the way, because Dill was basically him and Scout was Lee, and the novel based on an episode from their own childhoods.

No not really all that matters is the story not the author. Harper Lee can write what he wants. All I know is that To Kill A Mockingbird is a good book and nothing else matters

If he wrote it with help but publically acted as if wrote it alone and publically used his own experiences as a means of promoting the book, I'd say that would affect the way I look at To Kill A Mockingbird. It would invalidate the book for me somehow, not because of anything in the text itself, but because I'd feel manipulated by the author. But if we're talking simply that he had help writing it, that doesn't change the impact of the book for me.

Sometimes. If the background events of a different authors life help explain the content of the story. Otherwise, it shouldn't. It might affect how you see the author though, perhaps not thinking she's so great any more... but the story itself didn't change.

Yes, though it would most likely enhance my opinion of the story. I've found that well-written collaborative fiction is much more rare than an equally good book written by a single person.

This is a very easy essay you have been asked to write, IF you read the book. the community shows prejudice not only to the man accused of rape, but also to Boo Radley. You should read it, it's a fantastic novel.

My feelings toward her may change but not my feeling for the book. It's a wonderful book for all ages and all times, much like Ben Jonson's statement about Shakespeare.

No because that book is probably one of the best books ever written. I don't care who wrote it...it doesn't change the story
