To Kill A Mockingbird Vs. The Chosen

In my opinion, To Kill A Mockingbird better teaches and draws the reader’s attention than The Chosen by its more diverse plot, characters, and themes. Harper Lee wrote To Kill A Mockingbird with action and plots that would catch the reader’s attention. The Chosen’s storyline contains two boys who become best friends.
