During life, birth, and death, a family is one of the few natures of life that are present throughout. Often times, the value of family is taken for granted, and people tend to disregard the importance it carries. Due to the power present in the nature of a man, often times it is challenging for women to establish a firm independence, in distinction of the common norms inaugurated in society and in family. In both A Thousand Splendid Suns and Pride and Prejudice, men are the dominant figures in all households, as they have control over their financial status, who their children marry, where they live, and create means in which the females of the family must follow. The inferiority that women face leads to an inquiry of an immense pride

Imagery: “Broadly defined, imagery is any sensory detail or evocation in a work; more narrowly, the use of figurative language to evoke a feeling, to call to mind an idea, or to describe an object. Imagery may be described as auditory, tactile, visual, or olfactory depending on which sense it primarily appeals to—hearing, touch, vision, or smell. An image is a particular instance of imagery.”

Despite the case of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird being written and published in the late 1950s, there are still many important and prevalent life lessons that can be applied to our own lives that are revealed in the novel. The lesson of perception and sympathizing with other people to gain a better understanding of your own world is revealed, which could be found through reading what Scout had to say near the end of the book, when standing on the Radley porch. Scout takes a moment to view the world of Maycomb in the same light as Boo Radley, which is substantial even if it’s just for a couple of moments. She is able to view Maycomb for what it is as well as the events that have transpired over the course of the novel through the eyes

Mockingbirds appeared in this novel several times. Not necessarily in the literal text, but in the characters themselves. During the 1930’s, racism and prejudice against African Americans were common. This is a perfect “real-world” example of a mockingbird (in symbolism). The mockingbird symbolism showed up in the beginning of the novel, when Uncle Jack, Atticus’s brother, gifted an air rifle to the children.

"The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box.” -Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird This quote is really significant because this quote shows the lack of justice there was at the time back then.

The white people saw people of color as someone who was beneath them and they weren't worth their time.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe once said, “courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.” This quote means that no ordinary person can be known to be courageous. It takes someone who will stand by what they say no matter what the circumstances are and how they may be looked at in society. A courageous person doesn't have to always succeed, but put in the effort to try and prove their point in any way possible. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Lee mentions many courageous people whose actions speak louder than their words.

To kill a Mockingbird: Looking Back There are many points made in the book To kill a Mockingbird (made by Harper lee) and there are a lot of metaphorical terms used in the book. There were a couple times in the boom where I read something but then when it first went through my head I didn’t process what I had read until a couple seconds later causing me to go back and read it again. A lot of these lines/quotes still relate to what is going on in today's society because talking about a life lesson is similar to talking about a law.

In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the atmosphere of discrimination normalizes the use of slurs, and the ostracization of certain members of the community, for the children in the novel. To Kill A Mockingbird, written in 1960, set in the fictitious town of Maycomb, Alabama. This novel, from the perspective of the character Scout, is a tale of identity, injustice, and inequality in a time of heavy discrimination. In Lee’s novel, the use of slurs is a common occurrence in the town of Maycomb. Scout, as well as the other children in the novel, are exposed to adults and their peers using these slurs, and, consequently, slurs become a desensitized part of everyday language. From the beginning of the novel, Boo Radley is an enigma to Scout,

Roy links yellow to disgust, which creates a sense of foreboding in the reader’s mine when Estha first meets the Orangedrinklemondrink man who later molests him. Objects meant to disgust the reader are associated early on with the color in yellow in phrases like, “[Baby Kochamma] was wearing a limp checked seersucker nightgown with puffed sleeves and yellow turmeric stains.” and, “A yellow brook burbles through a mountain pass”. Later, when Estha meets the Orangedrinklemondrink for the first time, the scene is bathed in yellow, which mirrors Estha’s disgust.

Even before Etha is molested, the author uses a tone of foreboding by introducing the color yellow.
