If--as I hope--you want a SERIOUS answer to this, early this month I went to Alibris.com, to their "bookblog.albris.com" & found a very interesting page on the book--the ONLY book written by Nelle Harper Lee--with her own comments. A very private person, a biography was written & piblished this year by Charles J. Shields, MOCKINGBIRD: A PORTRAIT OF HAPER LEE. You can probably find excerpts from this as well. I hadn't realized how controversial it's been. However, quote from one of her rare inteviews: "I tried to give a sense of proportion to life in the South...I think that Southerners react with the same kind of horror as other people do about injustice in their land." The brief page also refers to, the interview & much more on TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD & HARPER & LEE, a comprehensive Web site. This book is considered to be one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. The short quote can't begin to describe the many facets of this book, & if you saw the movie, you'll never forget the passion, poignancy, tragedy. THE HUMAN CONDITION. I briefly scanned what at the time, were only two answers to your question, something about--Boo & a lawyer, whatever, not worthy of remembering, but an example of the sort of people who create the kind of environment Lee so deeply explored.

There was also a movie on it. It's about racism and rape between a blank man and a white woman, through the eyes of eight-year-old Scout. Robert DeNiro played Boo, a silent character who saved Scout's life in the middle of the story. Harper Lee was the writer of the novel, who haven't written anything else since then. Gregory Peck played Atticus Finch, a widower lawyer.
