To Kill a Mockingbird is arguably one of the most famous novels in modern literature. I fell in love with this book the first time that I read it. Harper Lee uses Scout as the person that we see the world through. Although a child, Scout is what we would consider a "reliable narrator". She observes the town and the courtroom proceedings with the objectiveness of a child who is not yet indoctrinated into the racial bigotry of the town. She also has a father, Atticus, who is progressive and open, minded. So, Scout is able to give us a fairly objective viewpoint with the innocence of a child. She adds her own humor and style which makes her narration so enjoyable. Harper exposes the racial injustice in a way that touches the whole socio-economic structure of Maycomb. By the end of the novel the whole town, as well as the reader, knows the truth about what happened to Mayella Ewell. This makes it so much more difficult to accept the racial bigotry over the truth.
