Don't Shoot That Mockingbird!!!

I'm starting the classic Harper Lee novel with my two sections of English II.  One of my favorite books, To Kill A Mockingbird, is an American classic.  I especially like the first half of the book which has the power to transport me from my physical location to a small, sleepy town in Alabama in the 1930's.  While the pacing is slow, I think it perfectly suits the setting; I can't imagine that life moved very quickly for the residents of Maycomb.  In contrast to our high-pressure, get it done by the deadline society, Maycomb would be a welcome change of pace.  Where some might see boredom, I see peace and tranquility.
