Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, To Kill a Mockingbird remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching an estimated 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a perfect read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans e to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the superficial(肤浅的)conversations of the school hallways. Literature promises relief，a place to figure out ones problems and get to know oneself better.To Kill a Mockingbird particularly distinguishes itself in this regard.It speaks in a childs voice without treating its readership as children. People have called it an “impossible” achievement, a childrens book penned in the prose (散文) of a welleducated adultits unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world.But thats exactly what makes it such a charming read for young people. It alludes to(暗指)the consciousness of a welleducated adult going through difficult realities, but shows it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了哈珀李的小说深受美国读者的欢迎。1In which year might Go Set a Watchman e out?A2015.B1960.C1910.
