'Prayers In Harper Lee's Poem Eagle'

“Eagle Poem” has turned out to be more enjoyable and intriguing than expected. The style throughout the poem was well thought out by Harjo though she is writing about a very soft topic.

The first line, “I am the song that sings the bird,” seems to say that rather than the bird singing a song, the song sings the bird.

This shows that God moves the moon, and

In the early twentieth century, the United States was undergoing a dramatic social change. Slavery had been abolished decades before, but the southern states were still attempting to restrict social interaction among people of different races. In particular, blacks were subject to special Jim Crow laws which restricted their rights and attempted to keep the race inferior to whites.

In the legal system, blacks were not judged by a group of their peers; rather, they were judged by a group of twelve white men. In serious court cases involving capital offenses, the outcome always proved to be a guilty verdict. In Harper

Harper Lee includes many valuable lessons in To Kill a Mockingbird which relates to our lives. Lee's lessons incorporated in the story are also a part of the main themes of the book.

They came upon the mystical poison yellow berry. After finding the poisonous berry his brother begged him to not eat it because it would
