To Kill a Mockingbird essay

The other day we started with the writing of the essay of To Kill a Mockingbird. This is our first test of this book; although it is only from part one. My thesis statement was that:

“Life of the author is reflected in the setting, helping us understand the central ideas of the book.”

My first argument was that the discrimination and racist events at the 1960, motivated Harper Lee in his book.

My second argument was that the economic depression at 1960 also conditioned Harpers central ideas of the book.

My last argument was that the small town life of the author is the base of the novel it self.
