    In To Kill a Mockingbird, the author Harper Lee shows her astounding writing skills by using universal themes from which anybody can learn. Even more astounding, the themes she used in To Kill a Mockingbird can still be applied today. For example, one theme that still applies today is the problem with racism and how to deal with it.

Another theme we can still apply today is understanding the difference between ignorance and knowledge.…

    To Kill a Mockingbird explores the moral nature of human beings in a time before the civil rights movement. The story begins from the perspective of childhood innocence, where it is assumed that people are good since they have never seen evil, but it later shifts to a more mature perspective, in which they have confronted evil and now must incorporate it into their understanding of the world. Lee’s overall message was to portray that humans, rather than being merely creatures of good or creatures of evil, have both good and bad qualities. This is largely reflected in the character, Atticus Finch, who is unique in the novel because he has experienced and understood evil without losing his faith in the human capacity for goodness. He teaches this practice to his two children, Jem and Scout, where Scout’s development as a character in the novel is defined by her gradual progress toward understanding Atticus’s lessons.…

    Would you want to shelter our youth from America’s flaky history and instead tell them lies about what happened when a black man couldn’t go to school with a white person? That’s what could happen if we stop reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. If it is still taught in schools the children of America get to experience the novel’s great life lessons such as not to be so quick to judge people, the novel’s great characters, and the superb symbolism in the book. To Kill a Mockingbird should still be taught in schools because it teaches the reader some great life lessons. For example when Atticus was defending Tom Robinson he said, “Simply because we’re licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us to try not to win.”…

    Don Brown writes about "To Kill a Mockingbird" and calls it “a sermon on courage as much as anything else”. A passage that shows that Brown’s idea is true is when Atticus is talking to Scout after Jem leaves to apologize to Mrs.Dubose for killing her camellia flowers. Scout doesn't understand why Atticus continues the case when the rest of the residents in Maycomb county insult him for it. Atticus tells her "but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience"(Lee 87).…

    Recently, I have had the literary privilege of reading two great novels, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Go Set a Watchman, both by the renowned Harper Lee. In my reflection of reading these two stories, I viewed one as an innocent example and the other as a wake up call to reality. I agree that the character of Atticus Finch has indeed been added value to – in some ways that most people would not prefer. The fact is, he is the same person in both stories, only to be distinguished by the perspective of Scout and the reader. Most critics would be displeased in Harper Lee because Atticus demonstrated a high moral standard in To Kill a Mockingbird, whereas in Go Set a Watchman, he seems to have downgraded to a bitter old man whose views have been…

    Authors incorporate arguments into their works that readers can respond to. In To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, one of the arguments presented is that people will reject the truth to please society and others. This argument is demonstrated when Dill and Scout meet Dolphus Raymond, when the court finds Tom Robinson guilty, and when Heck Tate declares Mr. Ewell’s death as an accident rather than a murder. During the case, Jem orders Scout to take Dill and leave the courtroom because Dill was crying when he heard Mr. Gilmer’s cross-examination of Tom Robinson. Outside, they meet Dolphus Raymond who was always seen drunk.…
