Interview With Harper Lee
Interviewer – Hello Harper. Thank you for agreeing to come and talk with us. I got to read your book To Kill A Mockingbird. You are one amazing writer. I wanted to bring you here to ask a few questions on the book.
Harper Lee – Thank you for having me here. I can’t wait to share with you everything about this book.
Interviewer – First thing is how did you decide to write To Kill A Mockingbird?
Harper Lee – I chose to write To Kill A Mockingbird because I kind of grew up during this time. It was hard to see what would happen to African American’s and I wanted to show how hard their life was. To me this book shows everything about the 1930’s from the type of people you would find back then to how the African American’s were treated. The town showed what you could find in the south.
Interviewer – Amazing. Your book really did show how life was back then. What was the most difficult part of writing To Kill A Mockingbird?
Harper Lee – The most difficult part was the whole writing thing. I disliked having to write about all the bad things because I know all these things happened. It was fiction but then again it was kind of real. The people were fake but what happened actually happened back then and I grew up during this.
Interviewer – How do you feel about your book being read all around the world?
Harper Lee – I love it! All the kids getting to know all the bad things can happen. I want everyone to know that we can’t let these things happen ever again. There is no one superior race. We are all equal. The children we are raising are one day going to be running our country and world. Us adults have to make sure that these kids, our kids, will run this world fairly and not put anyone to shame just because they’re different. Sadly we still judge people because they are different. We need to have this stopped because no one wants to feel like they are not wanted or are bad because they’re different we need everyone to embrace their differences. To me these differences are amazing.
Interviewer – Wow that is amazing. You are an inspiring person. Last question is are you happy you wrote To Kill A Mockingbird?
Harper Lee - Yes, I am beyond happy. This book shows everything. What I wrote about is terrible. But, having millions of people from all over the world read it gives me hope that this type of thing will never happen again. It was hard to write it but in the end I think that this book is helping.
Interviewer – Thank you for coming to talk with us and telling us all about your wonderful book.
Harper Lee – Thank you again for having me. I hope people understand why I wrote this book. I wrote it to educate and I feel like I am doing a very good job with that. I hope that this book gets read even after I pass away.
