Atticus Finch, Boo Radely, Scout, Jem, and Dill are just a few of the marvels created by Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mockingbird is a timeless classic but to most freshmen in high school, the only thing this novel is, is boring. Students find it hard to relate to, and have a difficult time shuffling through Lee's language and the dialect of the characters. Ultimately, students refuse to give the novel a chance.
