To kill a mockingbird

The title of the books is "to kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee, published in 1960. The general purpose of this book is that it explains racial times when the "white man's word overcame the
"black man's word". The book's main conflict scene takes place in a courtroom where a black man was put on trial for lechery or rape. The book is good but it starts off slow and trifling but then later starts to develop into a better story. The narrative hook in the story describes what happened to Jem in the end of the story. "When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow."

assuaged-to make less severe
dictum-an authoritative pronouncement
eccentric-irregular
azaleas-shrubs that belong to a group.
predilection-the tendency to favor something more than something else.
