Read the excerpt from the introduction to a state of war and peace.

despite the secrecy behind the selection process and a tradition of keeping the list of nominees from being disclosed for fifty years, i believe there is logic to how the winners are chosen. i hope to arrive at an understanding of the method behind the madness used to sift through thousands of the world's highest achievers year after year.

based on this excerpt, which topic will most likely be covered through the course of the book?

a) an argument as to why the prize should be discontinued
b) predictions for who will win the prize for the next fifty years
c) the criteria the committee uses to create a list of nominees
d) a list of people who have been nominated in recent years

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).

the whisper is the answer, hope this : )
