The title of the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee holds a great deal of symbolism with several of the characters in the story acting as mockingbirds, characters who don’t do anything to bother the people around them. Harper Lee explains to the reader what a mockingbird is by making Atticus, and then Mrs. Maudie explains it to Scout. “Atticus said to Jem one day, ‘I’d rather you shoot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit’em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.’ That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. ‘Your fathers right,’ she said. ‘Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music

Boo Radley is an innocent man who was wrongly categorized by his father after a childish prank. As he is referred to as a mockingbird because of his innocence. This can be proven when he leaves gifts for Jem and Scout like the pennies,wax dolls and jems jeans.

It’s a sin to kill a Mockingbird. Mockingbird is considered “good” birds, they sing and never cause trouble. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbirds there are many mockingbird characters like Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. Tom helped Mayella Ewell with her housework, like chopping a chiffarobe, yet was still convicted of raping her by Bob Ewell, Mayella’s father. Arthur Radley(Boo) helped save the children and also gave them gifts, yet was feared of by the town. Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are all mockingbirds, the innocents who were “killed”.

¨Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.¨Pg 90. The mockingbird represents innocence within the community and sets up the mood of racism towards the helpless and gives important background information to the readers.. The author uses this quote to show the readers that these birds are helpless and don't do any wrong, so why would you kill them? Harper Lee wants you to imagine those birds as humans.

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee,

The demanding power of ambition is noted through Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth. Within this play, ambition is portrayed as a corrupting and unquenchable force through the main concepts of mental imbalance, supernatural behaviours and betrayal. The all-consuming desires of Macbeth and their repercussions are vividly enhanced through the use of various expressive literary techniques. Within the play, there are countless references of the supernatural, which often transpired to tragedies. An example such supernatural ambition occurs between the witches; “Fair is foul, and foul is fair.” (Act 1, Scene 1, pg 29). This quote from the opening scene reverses the syntactic structure and symbolizes a reversal in the logical order of the play as well as

Early in the book, there are many myths about Boo Radley and what he does to his neighborhood. Scout notes, “Inside the house lived a malevolent phantom. People said he went out at night when the moon was down, and peeped into windows…” (9). Boo Radley does not deserve to be seen like a person who wishes to do evil. People start to make wrong assumptions about him that were awful because he chooses to stay in his house.

He also goes on to share a bit of Boo’s life as a child. He grew up hanging around the wrong crowd and got into big trouble one night, but his father’s word got him out of going to prison, but it still left Boo with the cost of hardly ever leaving his house and his nefarious reputation. Even though Jem’s stories of Boo Radley scared the living hell out of Scout, the thought of the mysterious man still brought about curiosity in

The discussion on Kenyan fashion has a high prevalence of cultural layers that we can see will differ amongst the different social classes. African fashion in the modern world today is primarily used as a large example in discussing the manipulations of fashion because of the westernizing movement in cultural appropriation. Due to the fact that a large number of people in the western hemisphere are using cultural African apparel to suit their fashionista tastes, African women are therefore put in a position where they feel they must uphold the authenticity of such styles; as they feel pressurized in preserving their culture from appropriation. Fashion among middle class Kenyan women in urban areas and women living in other urban areas in Africa,

only raise their joyous song for pleasure, they are hunted because they can be preyed upon by those who are stronger. As a metaphor to true life, people like this, the innocent "mockingbirds", are constantly being harassed and prosecuted for all the wrong reasons. When Scout, wondering why her father says it is a sin to kill a mocking bird, her neighbor, Miss Maudie explains, "Mockingbirds don 't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don 't eat up people 's gardens, don 't nest in the corncribs, they don 't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That 's why it 's a sin to kill a mockingbird."(90) It is wrong to harm them because they never did anything to deserve their punishment. Yet even though this may be true, there is no such thing as a

Maturation is an concept that all children endure at some point in their lives, but very few know the true explanation of it. Within To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout and Jem both encounter the struggle between purity and innocence within the town of Maycomb and the courageous acts of the town’s citizens. Through Mrs. Dubose’s revelations and Atticus’ wise words, Lee’s novel commends that the true meaning of growing up is looking through a person’s appearance and instead seeing them as who they truly are, within the heart. This recurring judgement of the world that society has made it out to be, blinds the children on what it means to be maturely grown and stops them from witnessing the true beauty it can be, all behind the charade of evil and bitterness.

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” (Lee 93).

Ms. Gladson’s future classroom will incorporate a healthy mix of fun and organization. While thinking over the seven procedures I would like to implement in my classroom, it was important that I recognized the organized environment of the classroom, but also allowed for positive interaction among the students. From entering the room to leaving at the end of the day, there are important steps that even seventh graders need to remember in their classroom. I will allow one week of training; in which they will learn the procedures but receive a grace period if not completed correctly. Then, at the start of week two, I will expect them to complete it on their own. Each procedure teaches an set of expectation that I hope to see from each student.
