Guest Shivani Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 to kill a mockingbird run away jury passage to india the devil's advocate in the court-anton chekhov (boring) yeh raaste hain pyar ke (the one which has sunil dutt) you could read some of these trials - the trial of scottsborro boys the trial of OJ Simpson the nanavati case (KM Nanavati v State of Maharashtra) i really liked To kill a mockingbird - there are many parallels between the novel and Lee’s early life.Maycomb bears a striking resemblance to the small town of Monroeville,Alabama, where Lee grew up. Like Scout, Lee’s family has deep roots in Alabama. Her father was a lawyer too, likely served as the model for Atticus Finch, Scout’s father in the novel. Its a MUST READ ... and the movie is a MUST WATCH !
