In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, one of the main themes of the story is that it is a sin to kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch, one of the main characters, says on page 93, "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a Mockingbird."

I think that “Tell them Not to Kill Me” was one of the most interesting stories we have read. It is not really confusing but I think that it is open to different interpretations. The story started with Juvencio begging his son Justino to tell the sergeant not to kill him. At first you may feel sorry for Juvencio but soon after the pity starts to disappear. Justino do not want to tell the sergeant not to kill his father because then they will know that he is Juvencio’s son and he may possibly be…
already kill them? To this day there are many people that hate what they are doing for a living. Why do they hate it? Probably because they are doing something that they don’t love and they settle for less. Where did their dream go wrong? What caused them not to follow their dreams anymore?
