Mid 1950

Fortunately, for nowadays readers, in the mid- 1950’s and beginnings of 1960, two great books were written by two amazing authors. These two awesome books are: “Something wicked this way comes” and “Two kill a mockingbird”, the first one written by the fictionist, Ray Bradbury and the second one by Harper Lee. The genres of both are really different, because Mrs. Lee’s novel is written based on the social, drama, and southern drama genre, and in the other hand, Mr. Bradbury’s novel is written in the science fiction/fantasy genre. Although both novels have many differences they are alike in some ways, which will be explained. These books are incredibly good, and as Walt Disney said “There is more treasure in books than in the entire pirate's loot on Treasure Island." Ray Bradbury wrote his novel “Something wicked this way comes” from 1955- 1962, and published it this same year. Mr. Bradbury is known for his outstanding works, and this one is not the exception. He is a really recognized author and as the journal Nashville Tennessean published “In literary circles, Ray Bradbury can validly be called a living legend… Since he was eight years old, he wanted to become a magician. And that’s what he is”. In this novel, the main characters are William Halloway, who is much more of a thinker than his best friend Jim Nightshade. As the story unfolds Will finds that, much like Charles Halloway, his father, he is capable of quick and decisive actions once he has made a critical decision. He saves Jim several times and saves his father another time because, even though he is a young 13- year old boy, he is conscious of his knowledge and believes that he is doing the right thing. Will cares deeply about doing what is right, and unlike Jim, he favors inaction when the alternative is harmful, destructive or dangerous. He is selfless, and in many moments he runs tremendous risks to save Jim even when Jim himself does not necessarily want to be saved. Another important
