EDUCATION
This Coffee Break contains only 10 words, a quote taken from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The quote is short, easy to understand, provocative, and very telling about human nature.
Published in 1960, the novel was an instant classic, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction the next year, and was made into a very successful movie in 1962, also a classic.
The novel is about racism, justice, truth, and education. It is a required reading in American high school because it contains virtues that are important and often neglected. The other day I saw the Chinese version of it in a bookstore. (梅岡城故事)
