A Literary Great

Sad news this morning that author Harper Lee has died.

I’m currently studying her pulizer prize winning book To Kill a Mockingbird with my 8th grade students. All I want them to do is love it.

It is an incredible read, so well crafted that there is absolutely nothing that happens randomly in the story line. Every word is so well chosen, every character so completely developed, that when I think of it, it is no wonder it is the only book the woman completed.

Ah, to have a title like that bearing your name. One was enough. Rest in peace Harper Lee.
