The book I am reading is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This book is about a girl named Scout who is trying to get a mysterious man; Boo to come out, along with her older brother and, the new kid; Doodle.

The 1960s Civil Rights Movement is one of the largest social movements in American History. For many years prior, the majority of African Americans had just lived with discrimination as if it were a part of life. It took years for them to muster up the courage to fight the oppression and begin the Civil Rights Movement. Harper Lee uses a similar brand of courage in To Kill a Mockingbird, when many of the community members are put in situations in which they must be brave or cowardly. Harper Lee uses To Kill a Mockingbird to raise awareness about the importance of courage and how true courage is only shown when met with confrontation.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being an adult. I remember watching the movie “Thirteen Going on Thirty” and relating to the thirteen-year-old, Jenna Rink. She wished to be thirty because she thought those would be the best years of her life and in the end, she realized that the choices you make when you are young determine and shape the person that you become as an adult. As a child, I learned foundational spiritual and moral lessons. Those lessons have guided me through tough times from a little girl who dreamed of being an adult to the young adult woman I’m learning to be today. I am excited to go to Lipscomb and develop more independence through the experience of living on campus. I am hopeful that my experience at Lipscomb will enable me to grow into the woman I want to be. There have been a lot of female role models in my life. My mom, my teachers, and my mentors whom I have spent a lot of time with and observed. They all have similar characteristics: strong, brave, independent, and supportive. Eleanor Roosevelt and Princess Diana are women that have inspired me with their generosity and wisdom. I’ve absorbed my

The former half of the story begins during the first summer before Scout begins school. The reader is introduced to Jem and Scout’s childhood friend, Dill, who apparently has a knack for acting out scenes from books and movies he’s read and seen respectively as well as a fascination with the Radley residence, the house in which a family rumored to be unstable, unsociable, and potentially crazy reside. One day, as the trio of children are passing the Radley home,

To Kill a Mockingbird, I think should not be required text because despite its positives themes that touch on subjects not only on race, but justice, feminism, and compassion, the novel cannot surpass how outdated it really is. Likewise to how progressive the book was for its time, it still doesn’t beat out a lot of books we have today that will resonate better for students who are not able to see themselves in Atticus or Scout. Plus, Harper Lee’s depiction of Tom Robinson’s demise might give a lot less hope to students of color, give others the idea that only a whole healthy person is capable of rape, or make some more suspicious of sexual assault survivors. But, although these concerns can be avoided with an excellent teacher; in the off

Part one of the book focuses mostly on the adventures of Jem, Scout, and Dill as they become intrigued upon hearing the town gossip about their neighbor Boo Radley. The kids end up creating a game based on Boo’s supposed story and begin to dare each other to touch his house and reenact his story based on rumors circulating through the town. Their father catches them, prompting them to conceal their activities. Scout later learns Boo’s true story from information relayed to her by Miss Maudie, one of her neighbors. Scout learns that Boo’s parents locked him in the house after had terrorized the community. Soon, summer fades away and Scout starts her first day of first grade where she meets her new teacher, Miss Caroline, who doesn’t allow Scout to read at home, despite this being one of Scout’s favorite activities. Atticus makes a compromise with Scout that they will

Chapter 1- The book starts out with Scout, Jem, and Dill and this little boy from Mississippi meet during the summer. Dill tries and plays all these games to get a plan for Boo to come outside. Jem finally runs into the Radley’s yard and touches the outside of the house. Chapter 2- Dill goes back to Mississippi for school and Scout is starting first grade.

Last week Atticus Finch defended Tom Robinson in court against Bob and Mayella Ewell. The girl has said that Tom came into her room, beat her, and raped her. Tom gave a different point of view. His story depicts him walking passed the Ewell place when Mayella called him in to the fence, asking him to chop up a chifforobe for her. After he did, she asked him to help her get a nickel off the shelf, and when he stood on the chair to get it she grabbed him around the legs and tried to kiss him. Both sides only had one thing in common, the chifforobe that needed chopping. Judge Taylor and the jury heard two sides of the gruesome story while the rest of the courtroom listened from the benches. Mr. Finch took a hard loss on Tuesday, even though his

Good afternoon Mr/Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. The topic for our debate is that to kill a Mockingbird should be a compulsory text on the Scotch Oakburn year 10 advanced English course. We define the topic as Harper Lee’s novel to kill a mockingbird should be required to be studied by everyone in the year 10 advanced English classes. We as the affirmative team believe that this statement is true.

Scout and Jem went to the Negro church and it changed their point of view about the black people in Maycomb. Scout and Jem learned how their culture is different from the culture of the white people. Scout and Jem learned why most Negroes talk the way they do, and the children learned a little about the Negroes working condition. Scout and Jem learned how the Negroes look out for each other even though some are reluctant.

For this article, I have read the book “To Kill a Mockingbird”, written by Harper Lee and published 1960. It is a book about a girl growing up in the south in the 1930’s. Overall I can see why the book has been so highly appraised. Like many, I enjoyed reading from the innocence of eight-year-old Scout Finch. The reveal of Boo Radley near to the end of the book satisfied my curiosity. Although most of the book was pleasing to me, I disliked seeing all of the injustice coming from racism and prejudice directed toward people of color and families of the lower class. However, nothing was left to be desired at the end of the novel and although many things were unfair, there would not be much of a story if everything was perfect in the fictitious town of Maycomb, Alabama.

When the young and inexperienced are tasked with facing the reality behind what the real world demands of them, just how well do you expect them to react? Jem Finch, from Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, is a ten year old boy growing up in Maycomb, Alabama, a small and quaint town, during the Great Depression. Throughout the entire tale, his moral integrity is challenged as he deals with a variety of issues ranging from the spite and fear surrounding a house in his neighborhood, to racism and hatred of others, and even preserving his family’s honor when challenged. We follow not only him and his sister’s escapades throughout their town and

To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the most influential books in the world. This book has such great meaning and ideals behind the story that people naturally can’t help but like the story. It shows a lot about mankind and includes several quotes on how you should live your life. It also shows the importance of moral education. Throughout the story Atticus is teaching his own children how to live their life. The author allows to the readers to take in these lessons as if they are Scout. By the end of the story Scout has lost some of her innocence and has become less like a mockingbird. This helps readers realize who the mockingbirds are when they were one, going to be one. The main reason this book is so inspiring is because it allows the reader to go inside the world of Scout learn the lessons every child should learn and come back out with a greater understanding of the world.

I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The book is about a girl named Scout, her brother Jem, and a boy named Dill who are trying to make Boo, the neighbor who doesn’t come out of his house, try to come out. They are a couple of troublemakers that make dares for each other to get Boo to come out. In this Journal I will be predicting and characterizing the Ewells.

For my paper, I have chosen to analyze the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird.” This movie is based on the novel – by the same name – written by Harper Lee. The story has two major plotlines. One follows Jem, Scout, and Dill as they try to uncover the secrets behind the infamous “Boo” Radley. It’s only at the end of the movie that we learn “Boo’s” real name to be Arthur, and that we discover he actually tries to protect people, as he saved Jem and Scout’s lives. The other major plotline, and the one most relevant to this class, follows Atticus Finch, Jem and Scout’s father, as he tries to represent Tom Robinson. Mr. Robinson is an African American man who has been charged with raping Mayella Ewell. The movie then
