Writing Practice 1 Kevin has written an essay on the life of Harper Lee for his English class, and he has asked you to look over the essay before he turns it in. Read his essay to answer questions 5 10.

Harper Lee (1) Nelle Harper Lee was born in 1926. (2) She was born in the small Alabama town of Monroeville. (3) She left Monroeville in 1944 to begin her studies at Huntington College. (4) Then she decided to study law at the University of Alabama. (5) During this time she spent one year in England studying at Oxford University. (6) Lee moved to New York City and worked as an airline reservation clerk in the 1950’s. (7) By 1956 she had written several short stories, and these were greeted enthusiastically by her friends, who urged her to expand them into a novel. (8) She realized that such an undertaking was nearly impossible while she had a full-time job. (9)That Christmas, a group of her dearest friends gave her a truly wonderful, generous gift. (10) On the Christmas tree was an envelope addressed to her with a note which read, “You have one year off from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas.” (11) Lee’s father gave her a beautiful sweater she had admired. (12) Her friends explained that they had saved enough money to allow her to write full-time. (13) In order to make the most of the gift her friends had given her, she moved into a tiny apartment which did not even have hot water. (14) Over the course of the next year, Lee worked on the first draft of her novel. (15) In 1957 she submitted the first draft of her novel. (16) She spent more than two years revising and rewriting her story. (17) To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1961. (18) The book became an instant bestseller. (19) It also won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. (20) In the years since the publication of her only novel, she has led a very private life. (21) Ms. Lee continues to divide her time between New York and Monroeville and is rumored to be working on both another novel and her memoirs. (22) She makes very few public appearances and rarely agrees to be interviewed. (23) Yet while little is known of its author, To Kill a Mockingbird will continue to entertain readers for years to come.
