How To Write A Monologue For To Kill A Mockingbird

William Shakespeare once said, "For courage mounteth with occasion." William Shakespeare is portraying that courage comes when it is needed most. Shakespeare also displays that courage makes up for the strength that is absent in arduous situations. I agree with Shakespeare's message he is conveying in entirety. In the novels, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, the courageous acts are like one lone star lighting up the entire night sky.

Dill left us early in September, to return to Meridian. We saw him off on the five o’clock bus and I was miserable without him until it occurred to me that I would be starting to school in a week. I never looked forward more to anything in my life. Hours of wintertime had found me in the treehouse, looking over at the schoolyard, spying on multitudes of children through a two-power telescope Jem had given me, learning their games, following Jem’s red jacket through wriggling

Children look up to their elders for wisdom and advice. They rely on someone experienced and with authority for guidance on how to live their lives. However, sometimes the people who are accountable for youth mislead them; they may have good intentions, but are not mature enough to exemplify their values and morals, or they simply are ignorant. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Aunt Alexandra plays a negative role: she is a proper, southern lady with a strict code of behaviour and etiquette, but is too closed-minded and obstreperous to change her ways or view the world from others’ perspectives. Calpurnia takes on the position of a positive role model by disciplining the children in the Finch household. Miss Maudie takes on the role of a

I didn’t know any better. I didn’t know it could kill me. One time when I was 8, I was playing with some chapstick. I was putting It on everything when I decided to take a bite out of it. I ended up getting really sick and almost dying.

Hey mom, it’s me Dill! I’ve been doing fine around here and am missing you so much. Though, that’s not the reason I’m sending you this letter. I’m gonna tell you about someone really interesting and I’m sure you’ll like her. Well, early in the summer, I was outside, sitting in Miss Rachel’s collard patch and that’s when I spotted Jem and Scout. Jem is a ten year old boy who is also the brother of Scout, a six year old girl. Oh and I forgot to tell you, her real name is actually Jean Louise Finch but everyone calls her “Scout”. We got to know each other very well, and liked the same things. That’s when I started to love Scout and guess what. I shared my feelings with her today! I told her that I loved her. She’s about seven years old, and lives

Ewell wrote on the back of the envelope and looked up complacently to see Judge Taylor looking at him as if he were some fragrant gardenia in full bloom on the witness stand, to see Mr. Gilmer half-sitting, half standing at his table. The jury was watching him, one man leaning over with his hands over the railing. 'What's so intrestin'?' he question. 'You're left handed Mr. Ewell,' said Judge Taylor.” (Lee 117). This scene not only brings out Atticus’s intelligence, but proves to the audience that they cannot trust a single word Bob Ewell speaks.

As a reader, it is important to be aware of the impact of the narrative voice in a text. Discuss in relation to the narrative voice in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’.

I didn't know she was sick. I knew she was old, but I didn't think she was dying. How could I have known? I should have known, I’m 12, i'm older now. How could I have been so foolish. I took away an old dying woman's happiness. I still ain’t sorry. No, I’m not. Mrs. Dubose had no excuse for saying those things to Scout and I. She deserved what she got, especially after saying those things about Atticus. Well, she deserved to have (insrt flower nme here) destroyed but not her fits. Poor, mean, Mrs. Dubose was so sick, she didn't deserve to be sick. No one does. Why would she give me that flower? Why was it me who had to read to her? Why? Why? The worst part is that I almost enjoyed reading to her. Maybe it wasn't that I enjoyed reading to her,

I grew up in a home where my parents taught us to serve our country, community and those around us. They taught me through example, my father was a scout leader when I was a child. He often took me camping and to merit badge Pow Wow’s. As a boy I began to dream about becoming a boy scout. When I became old enough I joined the cub scouts. While in Cub scouts I learned about being part of the pack, about working together to accomplish large projects, to work together to accomplish a larger goal. Then when I was older I was able to join the boy scouts they taught me about being a citizen in the community, about being a good neighbor. They taught me about doing a good turn daily, and being prepared. When I was 13, I became a life scout. Being a life scout is not anything special, other than I was able to start working on my eagle project.

During your confrontations with Scout in Maycomb, you bring up the various points about Scout’s actions and how they are not pleasing to you, such as being friends with Walter Cunningham, and wearing breeches and overalls. During all of this, you bring up the problematic assumption of how she should dress and behave because of the gender roles which surround society. You first make this assumption when you are with Scout during christmas, when you said that Scout could never hope to be a lady because she wears breeches. This caused Scout to be more volatile, which led to Scout fighting Francis. Another time when you make this assumption is when you talk to Scout about Walter. You assume that Scout will pick up Walters bad habits which will ruin the Finch family name. This led to Scout resenting you even more than before. The last time you made the assumption is when Atticus talks to Scout and Jem about acting better because the Finches were created from generations of breeding. This led to Scout again resenting you, and even taking some of it out on Jem through fighting.

I have made the town of Cresco a better community by showing my traits or characteristics of an Eagle Scout. Every day I look for an opportunity to help someone in any way I can. The boy scout slogan is to do a good turn daily. This is something I do or try to do every day. Weather it is opening a door for someone or helping an elderly person carrying something. To me doing things like this is what brings our community together as one and makes it strong. Being an Eagle Scout I have high expectations. These expectations are what I hold myself to every day along with the boy scout slogan. With that being said, for my Eagle Scout project I replaced the horse shoe pits at the parks in town with permanent bean bag boards. I, along with the assistant

All humans are born innocent. Innocence is a time when a person has never done something, it is the first step of a human beings existence. The second step is experience. This step happens after a person has done something he or she has never done before or learns something he or she has never know before. The motif of innocence and experience occurs many times in Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird”. The process of this growth is especially obvious in Jem and Scout’s journey through out the book.

Through the course of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Jem encounters a series of events that cause him to grow up. During Tom Robinson’s trial, Jem’s eyes were opened to the racism and prejudice of the South: loss of innocence, a major theme in the novel, is a realization of the cruelty and injustice in the world, and that one must develop a tolerance for it.
