Anthony Storr says that, “Originality implies being bold enough to go beyond accepted norms “ Social norms imply that everyone is the same or does something the same way, to break that you need to go out of your comfort zone and be bold enough to break those norms. Although it is very common for there to be social norms in society, when someone breaks one it can be the very first step to making the world a better place.

Today in Maycomb County, there was a trail against a local African American man named “Tom Robinson.” He was accused for raping and beating up a white girl named “Mayella.” His lawyer is “Atticus Finch” is facing off against “Mr. Gilmer” the district attorney.

For my paper, I have chosen to analyze the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird.” This movie is based on the novel – by the same name – written by Harper Lee. The story has two major plotlines. One follows Jem, Scout, and Dill as they try to uncover the secrets behind the infamous “Boo” Radley. It’s only at the end of the movie that we learn “Boo’s” real name to be Arthur, and that we discover he actually tries to protect people, as he saved Jem and Scout’s lives. The other major plotline, and the one most relevant to this class, follows Atticus Finch, Jem and Scout’s father, as he tries to represent Tom Robinson. Mr. Robinson is an African American man who has been charged with raping Mayella Ewell. The movie then

My "To Kill a Mockingbird" project will be the last option on the menu of projects, designing my own. My project will be a typed paper of Atticus's aphroisms. Over top the aphroisms will be a drawing of Atticus. The rationale behind my project is to display my art ability and to appreciate the wise words Atticus shares throughout the book.

I believe the closure in To Kill a Mockingbird was predominantly satisfying. It was only predominantly satisfying for me because, I believe that Bob Ewell’s death should have been more punishing for his sins and provided more justice to Tom Robinson’s death than the ending portrayed. On the other hand, it is the most likely outcome in real life, but the process of his death should have been more severe than just a result of karma concerning only one of his crimes; harming children. The punishment should have extended to bring justice to Tom Robinson as well to restore the balance. There are very few loose ends left, because of the full closure provided, however the only two questions that remains is what happened to Mayella Ewell and if Dill

To kill A Mockingbird is a classic novel by Harper Lee, the story is told by an older version of the young girl scout in the novel. The book is about discrimination and prejudice towards certain people. The saying went “it is a sin to kill a mockingbird” because they have done nothing wrong.

Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, seems to have written her novel with likeness toward an article about nine African-American adolescents unjustly accused for the rape of two caucasian women. The article, written by Haywood Patterson, one of the convicted men, states, "In 1931, nine African-American youths were tried in Scottsboro, Alabama, on charges of having raped two white women on a train passing through Alabama." The boys were unlawfully tried for a crime they did not commit, and this was because of their race. The well-known novel was also written in the setting of the 1930s, showing definite racism toward minorities was in full swing. Wrongfully, the boys that the article is based upon were tried multiple times and some

* Scout’s moral development throughout To Kill a Mockingbird has to do with how she is taught to see “the other”, her exposure to racism and injustice, and that she had Atticus as a parent to guide her through her childhood. These factors together create a stable learning environment for Scout to grow and develop in.

1) As my opinion the fish got victory because when the Bishop caught it, the fish did not flap to escape. It had so many holes under its lips. It shows the fish has been caught several times by others. Bishop get respect for the fish and she let the fish go and once again the fish get a life to survive.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most popular fictions about racial inequality in America. Her portrayal of the Black community is amazingly positive and has therefore triggered discussion. In the fiction, while most of the white people treat the Black poorly and are evil-like, the blacks are generally genial and miserable. Atticus remarks that some Negroes do lie and act immorally. In this case, the rather one-sided Black community in the book seems to be idealized while the White community may be presented as too negative. Lee’s choice of an idealized Black community over a realistic one and a prejudicious White community can be elucidated by her intention to highlight how the black people are oppressed in the
