To Kill A Mockingbird : To Kill A Mockingbird

3. One word describing Scout Finch is intelligent. Although, all of her first-grade class is illiterate, Scout is capable of reading books past Ms. Caroline’s expectations. “I suppose she chose me because she knew my name; as I read the alphabet a faint line appeared between her eyebrows, and after making me read most of My First Reader and the stock market quotations from The Mobile Register aloud, she discovered that I was literate and looked at me with more than faint distaste. Miss Caroline told me to tell my father not to teach me anymore, it would interfere with my reading.” (Page 22, Paragraph 4)

Atticus Finch belongs to a very, very small minority. He is one of the very few human beings who does not hate Hitler. Of course, he does not like the universally hated historical figure, but merely dislikes him. This is a major theme of Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird. One can never, without exception, hate a man. Harper Lee promotes the idea that hatred is never acceptable by creating situations with literary devices like characters, settings, and plots that demand empathy.

Facts: This is a case about trespassing. Two hunters, Post (P) and Pierson (D), were chasing the same fox. The land they were hunting on belonged to someone else. P had trapped the fox, but then D came in and killed it and took it as his own. P claimed he had control over the fox at the time D killed it and therefore had title to the fox. D argued the opposite. D appealed as P won the case.

The movie based on John Grisham's A Time to Kill is a Hollywoodized, modern-day version of To Kill a Mockingbird. Both movies employ many of the same themes and plot elements; but the former movie is one-dimensional and predictable while the latter is innovative and purposeful. The movie version of Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird is considered a classic film, whereas John Grisham's adapted novel is merely another example of the money making efforts of Hollywood.

The character from “To Kill a Mockingbird” that I can relate the most to is Scout for several different reasons. The first being that Scout doesn’t do what is expected of her which is to act like a stereotypical girl, especially when she only wears her overalls in the beginning of the story. I can relate to this because I don’t always do what is expected of me from others, and just like Scout, I don’t pay attention to their opinions if the situation doesn’t directly affect them. Another way I can relate to Scout is because in the beginning of the story she used to get in many fights with Calpurnia over things that didn’t matter in the long term. Similarly to this, when I was younger and had babysitters, I used to get in fights with them over

Boo was in too deep one night when the boys resisted arrest and locked Mr. Conner who was Maycomb’s ancient beadle in the courthouse outhouse. The Cunningham boys were then sent to the state industrial school. Mr. Radley’s

One day I was in the sky, but then I heard a noise. There he was my man, Harry with that new bird named Missy. She had her beak on his and I was full of rage. My head was spinning and I felt like I was going to puke. Harry was to blame; he was a big man whore. Just then I thought I should go break his beak but then I thought not to. I was so high up in the sky and all I saw were kids in a park. As I was in the sky I saw a worm, so I flew down and ate it. It made me feel less nauseous and when I was done with it I flew back up to the sky. I was on the hunt for Harry and his mistress, Missy. I flew to where they were and took a feather off of her filthy body. Then I gave Harry a shove and he fell down. When he

There are certain social necessities in life that are important. One of which is friendship, and friendship gives people purpose and a sense of fitting in. Arthur “Boo” Radley, a mysterious character, in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, is talked about all throughout the town of Maycomb in the 1930s. Boo Radley was part of the Radley family. Boo was the talk of the town and he was rarely seen out of the house.

I was about 12 years old, one summer day I was outside in my front yard playing some basketball with my little brother. It was your typical summer day, hot, humid, sunny, and the best part was that there was no school. Everything just seemed normal, as if I had been doing the same thing every single day, of every single summer, for my whole life. Then in the middle of my game I saw something fall out of the tree and hit the pavement of the street in front of my house. I watched as it fell and I could tell it was too heavy to be a leaf so I decided to go check it out. When I began to approach the object I could tell it was moving and then as I was right in front of it, I knew a bird had just fallen from this tree. I had seen dead birds

into chemistry. Slowly, Atticus drifted off into a sleep where he would unexpectedly wake the next morning to his brothers pouring water on his face. As he had inhaled some of the water, he rolled out of bed, coughing. Realizing the time--an hour before he would normally get up, it was five o’clock in the morning--he became furious.

Arthur “Boo” Radley is a reclusive character who falls victim to Maycomb’s small town ideology of hiding rather than solving its problems, as well as its close knit community of gossip and rumours. Boo Radley makes an ongoing effort to defy these rumours and break free of his hiding despite being hindered by nearly every citizen of Maycomb.

Last summer, I volunteered at Cloverdale, a small, local nursing home. At first, I was being selfish and only wanted to “participate” for the service hour credits. After sitting for hours on end, an elderly woman taught me the decisions we make early in life, deeply effect our lives in the end.

The story took place during the Great Depression in a fictional old town, Maycomb, ALabama.
