Explanation
Answer: A - Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird introduced Atticus Finch to the world, and he quickly became one of the most beloved American literary characters of all time. In the story, told by Finch's six-year-old daughter Scout, Finch was a white lawyer in a small Southern town who represented an African-American man falsely accused of a crime. He fought valiantly in court and established that the “victim” lied about the crime, but Finch's client was convicted nonetheless. The novel is marked by the themes of racial injustice and the loss of innocence.
