Harper Lee delivers all the qualities Atticus possess to embody her interpretation of a social justice warrior. She urges a true hero must be well-informed, compassionate, perceptive, manageable, and steadfast in times of prejudice. Atticus is the most unwavering and honest presence in Maycomb, unchanging with the constant tribulations he faces with Bob Ewell and his internal doubts. His first impression is one of an ethical father who is respected and honored by his associates. Although the results of the trial causes him to lose some ground, he is still respected and valued by his children and the town.

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus tells Jem and Scout to shoot at tins cans in the backyard. He goes on to say, “ Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mocking bird.” “(Lee 103)”Miss Maudie explains it to the kids and says, “ Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t do one thing but to sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” “(103)” In the story there are three characters that could be counted as mockingbirds and they’re Tom Robison, Boo (Arthur) Radley, and Mr. Dolphus Raymond.

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.

Discrimination and prejudice were very common acts in the early and middle 1900 's. Prejudice in this book is displayed by the acts of hate and misunderstanding because of someone 's color. People of color were the majority that were treated unfairly. During this time in the southern states, black people had to use separate bathrooms, drinking fountains, sections in restaurants, churches, and even go to separate schools. Although much of the discrimination was directed towards blacks, there were plenty of accounts towards impoverished families by those that had money. Some people thought blacks were automatically dumb because of their color.

From the list above, the book I enjoyed reading most was To Kill a Mocking Bird, by Harper Lee. I have read and reread it more times than I can remember. One of the major themes in this novel, racism, is what peeked my interest in the book the most. It is absurd to me that the feelings of racism and discrimination expressed by certain characters in this book are still an issue in society today! The novel was published in 1960, and still people hate because of race, religion, and sexuality. It is truly disheartening to me. To further expound on the theme of racism in the novel, Harper Lee writes about her own childhood growing up in the deep South, and illustrates how as a child, she attempts to grasp the concept of hatred. Feelings of discrimination

As children, we often copy our parent's values and beliefs. In the novel ”To Kill a mockingbird” by Harper Lee the author demonstrates that parents pass down their ideals and values to their children through their actions . This leads to their children inheriting their character traits. In the novel, Atticus and Bob Ewell demonstrate their kind and abusive parenting style through their actions that influence the values and beliefs of their children.

In Harper Lee’s famous novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” she uses many elements of fiction to provide a clearer description for the readers to understand the themes better. The main theme of the novel is the distinction of good and evil in the morals of human nature. Lee uses the elements of setting, point of view, symbolism, and conflict to help her develop the storyline of the novel.

In the novel titled “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee set in Alabama, in a southern county in the era of the Great Depression, between 1933 and 1936 illustrates that to understand and empathize with others, all you need is imagination. Perhaps that is the reason why Harper Lee let it be an innocent girl of almost 6 years to tells the story, because children can use their imagination. However, Jem and Scout met too many people along the story and from each person the children learned something such as don’t prejudge others, be strong in the most difficult times, to never give up and most important to defend innocent people.

In life, age puts our understanding into perspective. As individuals mature, they often come to see their lives with greater vision and insight. There are a variety of fictional and nonfictional stories of these occurrences, especially in coming-of age novels. Many coming-of-age novels describe the transition from childhood to adolescence and from adolescence to adulthood. Many of these novels have profound underlying themes such as war, prejudice/discrimination, poverty, mental illness, or relationship formation/dissolution. In this paper, there will be three sections: summary, analysis of the main character’s development; moral and cognitive, and whether the novel would have differed if the main

I remember the day I became enamored with the subject of English. It was freshman year and my English teacher Mr. Lubera was also new to the school. I stepped into the small classroom full of Shakespeare posters combined with the soothing scent of an apple pie candle resting on his desk. I did not know what to think at the time because at this point English and books were something I could not care less for, however the moment Mr. Lubera walked through that door full of excitement and the cheesiest puns I have ever heard I knew I would love his class. I remember sitting in the library working on a persuasive essay for two weeks and how he told us of every pitfall we could encounter and what to do if it does. I remember acting out Romeo and Juliet during class and then discussing what happened and the meaning. Most importantly however, I remember the time we finished the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” and had a socratic seminar about the ending and the enduring themes within. It was in this class that Mr. Lubera showed me how fun English can be and I have been enticed in the subject ever since. Every year I would look forward to my English class in hopes that I would learn something new or read something interesting. It is because of this experience that I want to become an English teacher and recreate my experience for others.

Atticus is a devote father towards his children Jem and Scout after their mother died when Scout was young. Even though he was an older father Scout says “He played with us, read to us, and treated us with courteous detachment.” Atticus didn’t let anything come between him and his children and looked after them the best he could.
