How To Kill A Mocking Bird Influenced Me

To Kill A Mockingbird is a prime example classic modern literature, having won the Pulitzer Prize. Elements that have helped deem worthy of such classification, consists of its exploration of universal themes, the memorable and relatable characters who help define the story, and its addressing of issues that even now are common in today’s society, being able to evoke thoughts and emotional responses from its audience, helping them to define the world around them. It truly is a masterpiece.

The texts read throughout the entire year allowed me to find similarities between them and discover that a major theme depicted in the texts was the silence of one’s voice. In addition to the texts, through personal experiences I was able to derive that silence is a serious issue amongst us. I used To Kill a Mockingbird because the book clearly shows how someone who has been marginalized can lose their voice even in court where supposedly all men are equal. Tom Robinson, an African American who is accused of rape says to the prosecutor “were you so scared that she'd hurt you, you ran, a big buck like you? No suh, I's scared I'd be in court, just like I am now. Scared of arrest, scared you'd have to face up to what you did? No suh, scared I'd hafta face up to what I didn't do (Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird).” Tom Robinson is aware that he is an outcast in the town of Maycomb and he also understands his voice is worthless anywhere.

In To Kill A Mockingbird it shows me the side really nobody wants to see, racism. Some characters are not racist at all like Atticus, Scout and Jem.

For example, he and a bunch of other people got together and went to the jail that Tom Robinson was staying in and they wanted to do some bad things to him. I think that this book taught many people to respect others. It really gets to the point of how to treat

Classic works of literature often remain great because of their ability to teach generation after generation the same lifelong lessons. For example, Great Expectations by Charles dickens still teaches freshmen the same lesson it taught their parents and grandparents. To Kill a Mocking bird is certainly no exception, by integrating timeless characters in a coming of age novel that faces harsh challenges, Lee teaches five generations worth of readers that in the faults of justice close-minded people are often to blame. From Tom Robinson to the after math of Ferguson this theme is something we still see today.

Society can change people's view of other people and make them look at themselves differently. Why countries have so much diversity is because of the influence that society gives out. This diversity can vary from people's opinions on other people or their opinions on other countries, like racism. That is where most of our influence comes from.

There was never a moment where I just thought of myself as a reader while reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I felt as though I was right beside Scout as she grows up and learns important lessons about life. One of the many lessons that impacted me greatly was the one about how courage can come in different shapes from the most unexpected people I know.

I have learned more than two lessons, but these two were the most important to me.
