To Kill a Mocking Bird is classic written by Harper Lee. It's a Coming-of-age story filled with drama. Its purpose is to show the world the injustice of prejudice by putting it in the eyes of a child.
Summary:
--Scout, Jem, and Dill become fascinated with their mysterious neighbor Boo Radley and have an escalating series of encounters with him. Meanwhile, Atticus is assigned to defend a black man, Tom Robinson against the spurious rape charges Bob Ewell has brought against him. Watching the trial, Scout, and especially Jem, cannot understand how a jury could possibly convict Tom Robinson based on the Ewells’ clearly fabricated story. Despite Atticus’s capable and impassioned defense, the jury finds Tom Robinson guilty. The verdict forces Scout and Jem to confront the fact that the morals Atticus has taught them cannot always be reconciled with the reality of the world and the evils of human nature. When word spreads that Tom Robinson has been shot while trying to escape from prison, Jem struggles to come to terms with the injustice of the trial and of Tom Robinson’s fate. After making a variety of threats against Atticus and others connected with the trial, Bob Ewell assaults Scout and Jem as they walk home one night, but Boo Radley saves the children and fatally stabs Ewell. The sheriff, knowing that Boo, like Tom Robinson, would be misunderstood and likely convicted in a trial, protects Boo by saying that Ewell tripped and fell on his own knife. After sitting and talking with Scout briefly, Boo retreats into his house, and Scout never sees him again.

Get the killah mug.A contraction of the words killa and sweet, which forms the adjective meaning "incredibly ridiculously awesome and amazing". The phrase "killa sweet" can only be used to express an astronomical amount of coolness and is the most powerful of the typical words to convey the 21st century's definition of cool (i.e. sweet, nice, awesome, gnarly, vicious, killer, tight, bangin'). Killa Sweet is so stupefyingly formidable, that it is almost always used with an exclamation point.
The overwhelming power of the phrase "killa sweet" has limited its useage to some extent. Truth be told, there's not much in this world that merits the use of such a word, and its originators have speculated that the world is "just not ready" for it yet. Included below are a few possible examples where killa sweet can be used:
