The story covers a span of three years, during which the main characters undergo significant changes. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of those books that almost everyone reads at some point in their lives. Each person has their own personal experience of reading this book.  This book beautifully describes the childhood of two kids and their suspicious approach to everything around them. During the span of three years, author clearly shows the changes happening in Scout's and Jem's life. It is not the story thread or the depth of incidents described in this story, but the way he tells the story made me a big fan of this book. Though this book mainly known for the life of Jem and Scout, the main theme of this book is courage, I would say. This no...

Ibn battuta once said, "Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a story teller". But, There always has a constraint in composing or telling all that you have encountered in a journey to a second person. Writers are sellers of their dreams. In any case, there is no such essayist who is sufficiently rich to plot precisely whatever he felt amid his trip. Feelings cannot be described in words.
