"Sebagian besar orang merasa mereka benar dan kau salah ...."

"Mereka memang berhak berpikiran begitu, dan mereka berhak untuk dihormati pendapatnya," kata Atticus, "tapi sebelum aku mampu hidup bersama orang lain, aku harus hidup dengan diriku sendiri. Satu hal yang tidak tunduk pada mayoritas adalah nurani seseorang."

When you're stuck in a rut, but you know you can't give up. You're tired, you're scared, and you're doubting yourself, but you know that's exactly when you need to keep going. Real courage isn't about being fearless, it's about being brave enough to face your fears and keep moving forward, even when it feels like the whole world is against you.

Title: To Kill a Mockingbird

I recently delved into Harper Lee's classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," and I was yet again utterly captivated by its timeless themes and poignant storytelling. Set against the backdrop of the Deep South during the 1930s, this Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece offers a profound exploration of morality, racial injustice, and the complexities of human nature.

Narrated through the innocent eyes of Scout Finch, a young girl growing up in the racially segregated town of Maycomb, Alabama, the story unfolds with both heartwarming moments and gut-wrenching revelations. Scout, along with her brother Jem and their friend Dill, becomes entangled in the trial of Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of assaulting a white woman.

What struck me most about "To Kill a Mockingbird" is its unflinching portrayal of prejudice and inequality. Through the trial of Tom Robinson and the character of Atticus Finch, Scout's principled father and the epitome of moral integrity, Lee confronts the harsh realities of racism and social injustice with unwavering honesty. Atticus's unwavering commitment to defending Tom, despite the town's vehement racism, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of overwhelming opposition.

Beyond its exploration of racial injustice, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is also a coming-of-age story that resonates with readers of all ages. Through Scout's eyes, we witness her gradual understanding of the complexities of the adult world, as well as her blossoming empathy and compassion for those marginalized by society.

What truly sets this novel apart is its richly drawn characters and lyrical prose. From the enigmatic Boo Radley to the formidable Mrs. Dubose, each character is imbued with depth and complexity, making them feel like old friends by the novel's end. Lee's masterful storytelling and evocative descriptions transport readers to the sleepy streets of Maycomb, where the scorching heat and stifling social norms serve as a backdrop to the unfolding drama.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers decades after its publication. Its exploration of justice, empathy, and the enduring power of compassion serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of confronting prejudice and standing up for what is right. I can confidently say that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a literary masterpiece that deserves a place on every bookshelf.

Happy International Women's Day A bit late, but not important. I wanted to honor 3 of my favorite female authors that influenced in my life. Mary Shelley-Frankenstein. Without her our media myth stories wouldn't be the same. Harper Lee-To Killed A Mockingbird. Changed my genre books and made high school reading more interesting. Alice Walker-The Color Purple. Opening up my views and perspective as a high schooler and one of the greatest adaptive book turned movie. #happyinternationalwomensday #frankenstein #maryshelley #tokillamockingbird #harperlee #thecolorpurple #alicewalker https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca7NqVVhmqm/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Belki kitaplar bizi mağaradan çıkarabilir. Belki hep aynı lanet olası çılgınca hataları yapmaktan alıkoyabilirler bizi…” diyor #harperlee #bülbülüöldürmek adlı eserinde. @suheyilaydin ın kaleminden ve derin düşünce âleminden, farklı konulardan oluşan; teması insan ve bilgiyi kazanma olan denemelerden oluşan " İnsan İçin İnsan " her cümlesi ile yol gösterici nitelikte. Yine #RayBradbury #Fahrenheit451 de şöyle diyor. "Senin aradığın şeyler dünyada Montag, ama sıradan insan onların yüzde doksan dokuzunu ancak bir kitapta görebilir." Evet dünyada görmek istediğimiz çoğu şey (sevgi, cesaret, onur, bağlılık...) bu kitapta yerini almış. Eksik kalan yanlarımızın tabiri, beklentilerimize açık bir manifesto olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. İnsanın insana şifa olması gereken dünyada insanın insana zulmü elbette zorumuza gidiyor. Medeniyetin beşiği olarak adlandırılan (sözde) milletlerin, insanların yurtlarına ve zenginliklerine göz dikmesi , onları elde etmek için insanın insana yapmayacağı çirkefliklere başvurmaları yadsınamaz. Oysa bilim kutsal sayılan bir kavramdır. İlmi kıyımlar için kullanmak insanlığı topyekün ortadan kaldırmakla eşdeğerdir. Bizler safi düşüncelerimiz ile bu gidişatı "İnsan İçin İnsan" gereklidir lakin şifa ve huzur vermesi yönünde diyerek, insanlığa faydalı olmak için okumaya sebat göstermeliyiz. Yazarımıza, böyle fevkalâde bir eseri bize kazandırdığı için teşekkür ediyor, deruni düşüncelerinden oluşan nice eserlerine kavuşmak istediğimizi belirtiriz. #insaniçininsan dan hoşuma giden bir kaç alıntı: "Zaman aleyhimize işlerken kimsenin aklına gelmiyordu yaşamak..." "Her insan özeldi ama, her hayat benzer sorunları, farklı bedenler üzerinde yaşatırdı insanoğluna... " Geriye dönüp bakmadan ileriye yürüyen bireyler; hayatın genelini mutlu yaşamış, pişmanlıkları sevinçlerine nazaran daha az olan kişilerdir. Vakit varken hayatın özlerine dokunmak, anı yaşayıp an da kalmayacak anılar biriktirmek gerekir...

Posted @withregram • @greyoyster70 "Volevo che tu imparassi una cosa da lei: volevo che tu vedessi che cosa è il vero coraggio, tu che credi che sia rappresentato da un uomo col fucile in mano. Aver coraggio significa sapere di essere sconfitti prima ancora di cominciare, e cominciare ugualmente e arrivare fino in fondo, qualsiasi cosa succeda. È raro vincere, in questi casi, ma qualche volta si vince."
