Summary Of ' The ' I Didn 't Kill A Mockingbird ' By F. Scott Fitzgerald

To kill a mockingbird can mean many things. It’s the title of a book that has been bought 40 million times. But, it also has a definition. To kill a mockingbird means to destroy innocence. The theme of my literary analysis is mockingbirds. Mockingbirds in TKAM are innocent things tainted by the skewed society of Maycomb. Some of these mockingbirds are Boo Radley, Tom Robinson, and the children. To Kill a Mockingbird is a book set in a small Alabama town in the 1930’s. The main character and narrator is Jean Louise Finch, but is almost always called by her nickname, Scout. Scout, her brother, and her summer friend Dill get into all kinds of mischief while living in the racist society of a 1930’s Alabama town. Scout’s dad, Atticus, is a prominent lawyer in Maycomb and is appointed to a controversial case, and is defending a black man. Scout and her brother, Jem go through many troubles and learn many lessons from the days leading up to, and during the trial. The trail makes their family some friends and a lot of enemies. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a story of courage and despair. Throughout TKAM, mockingbirds are used as an example of something innocent being tainted by the skewed society of TKAM. Some great examples of these are Boo Radley, Tom Robinson, and the children.

I sat there with Darry and Two-Bit and most of the rest of the guys. We all watched TV. We didn’t say anything for the most part, but we all knew what we were all thinking about: Johnny and Dally. There was a loud smashing sound from Soda and mine’s room. I was the only one to get up. The others were too zoned out on the TV and inside of their thoughts. I slowly walked over to the room with the door closed. “Soda?” I called. The others only turned after they heard me. This couldn’t happen to me again. Not again.

In 'To Kill a Mockingbird' many morals about the themes in the novel are portrayed through different issues and events. The major themes are appearance vs. reality courage, maturity and prejudice. Each of these themes has an event in the novel that help the reader understand its message.

Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” is set in a small Southern United States community called Maycomb during the Great Depression era. The whole book primarily revolves around segregation and racism and how it relates to Maycomb’s history. It eventually leads to the trial of Tom Robinson where he is accused of beating up and raping Mayella Ewell. Even though it was clear that Tom Robinson did not do anything wrong he was convicted by an all white jury simply because he was black. The trial of Tom Robinson and its verdict shows an example of how segregation in the court system prevents fair trials from occurring.

On Sunday, when Atticus has to leave town, Cal takes Jem and Scout to church. They enter the church, sit down, and listen to the Reverend Skyes speak. He talks about how they will all pray for Tom Robinson and his family while he is at court. Scout asks where the hymn books are, and Cal hushes her. When they sing the hymns Zeebo, Cal’s oldest son, goes up to the front of the church. Since the church doesn’t have any hymn books Zeebo has to memorize them and sing a verse to the crowd, which they repeat back to him. Near the end of church the Reverend says that they do not have enough money to give to Tom Robinson’s family. So he closes the church doors and makes the crowd give up ten more dollars to help.

Chapter 1 begins as a flashback told by the main character and narrator, a young girl named Scout. This retelling of the story continues through the entire book. the author of this novel, Harper Lee, characterizes scout the narrator as an intelligent tomboy who is not so sure she wants to deal with the Radleys. Scout always hung around her older brother Jem and Dill, a boy who visited Maycomb every summer. She was always up for whatever they did and really did not like it when they called her girly. Dill became fascinated with the Radleys and their mysteriously hidden son Boo. Scout urged Dill to let the Radleys keep to themselves, but her harassing of Dill did nothing. Even though Scout is a clever girl, Lee makes it obvious that Scout still

“Hansel was ten and his sister, Gretel, was eleven when their stepmother decided to get rid of them. They didn’t catch on at first, because Hagmom (their secret name for her) had always hated them. So leaving them behind at the supermarket or forgetting to pick them up after school was no big deal.

Society will never be perfect like one wants it to be. There comes a time when the power of evil takes over and society is blinded not by darkness but something greater. Not only is this shown in society today but in the book To Kill a Mockingbird. As the author Harper Lee grew up in a time period of great discrimination and hardships she gained a unique perspective of the world. Through her writing in the novel she brings to life the character of Jean Louise Finch (Scout) who embodies a mischievous, outspoken tomboy. The novel dramatizes Scout and Jem’s transition from a perspective of childhood innocence to an adult perspective. In the meager town of Maycomb, Alabama one man Atticus Finch, at a time of great social conservatism does the

" I-I... I can't believe no one went this way!" Protested the quaking Clavein, pulling on his ears in pure annoyance. He ran right into Cole's escape route and made his way back to his room. It seem like the others just stayed near the library, for what reason!? " N-not everyone is a fighter... T-they could be h-hurt in there." A bit of dust flew into Clavein's clattering mouth, causing him to cough loudly. He let's go of his now sore ears, placing his face straight on the ground. Though he is speaking on the inside, Clavein's grumbling against the soot covered floor. " Worst part is I left everyone. I'm the only one who ran! T-that makes me a bigger wimp than Kiel...A BIGGER WIMP THAN KIEL DAMN IT!" Clavein reaches out from underneath the bed, crawling his way out. The heat of the hotel has gone down a few degrees so Clavein is supposing they have solved the problem. " Okay, I-I'm done with this shit... I'm gonna have to help..." Clavein shakes like a dog as he starts to make his way outside. " Maybe i-if I get the hose and the latter I can cool things down!"

"Um... Excuse me…?" Chris asked. "Oh... Sorry..." Heli stated rather coldly, her voice low, almost like a whisper “Chris I trust you with everything but you know someone is threatening of killing me...I got messages on my phone and letters at home and someone is taking my pictures and telling me the upcoming celebration of my dad’s company, will be my last day… and I didn't even tell Rogers because he says not to worry...” quipped Heli. Chris’s eyes were vivid as he bowed his head in shock. “Should I stand for her or not?” he asked himself. He flashbacked his thoughts for a moment and speculated how badly love has broken him. As he was gazing in her eyes, he whispered to himself “My desires and my love all can be achieved with hope because my Grandpa always have taught me since the day he adopted me to Destroy what destroys you”. It was just birds chirping voices in the air as bell rang for another

Mayella testifies next, a reasonably clean nineteen-year- old girl who is obviously terrified. She says that she called Tom Robinson inside the fence that evening and offered him a nickel to break up a dresser for her, and that once he got inside the house he grabbed her and took advantage of her. In Atticus' cross-examination, Mayella reveals that she has seven siblings to care for, a drunken father, and no friends.
