To Kill A Mockingbird is a great book, it teaches about how racism was wrong back in the 1930's and 40's. I know, because it was a class requirement for us to read it and do an essay on it.

I loathed To Kill a Mockingbird. It seemed trite and full of itself. Sort of like Lord of the Flies, "Oh look! I'm filled with analogys and lessons on human nature!". I guess that might've been somehow revolutionary at the time, but it's hackneyed and overdone these days. Get a new curriculum you fecking english teachers, we're in a different world now, and I'm sure you can find an analogy with a good plot and quality dialog.
Sorry to go off topic...The animation looked pretty funny, but I have no way of listening to sound at the moment...so yah.

Umm, yeah, let's forget the past. It's not important and you can't learn anything from it.
Granted I'll give you the whole racism thing has been played to death in todays media, but when it was written in 1960 it was most likely ground-breaking (judging by it's awards). I found it boring and read the cliffnotes/watched the movie.
Of Mice and Men was my favorite assigned read. That book kicked butt, despite Steinbech generally being so damn boring.
