    This was done with other moral teachings in the story, specifically the one about killing mockingbirds. The author has Miss Maudie explain to the children the exact significance of the line “it 's a sin to kill a mockingbird”(Lee 90), and the quote is also brought up later in the book. The main point of the trial is pointed out and explained later as well, though it’s done in a way that’s a little less on-the-nose than a direct explanation. Jem asks his father how the people of the county could do such a thing, and Atticus bluntly says that “they 've done it before and they 'll do it again”(Lee 213), showing clear distaste in his tone. Moral teachings are pointed out multiple times in the story, and explained directly after the teaching had taken place.…

In this quote, Jem and Scout have just got their rifles, and Atticus is teaching them moral and physical rules.…

As you can see Harper Lee expressed her experience as a southern child in the nineteen thirties through writing her novel To Kill A Mockingbird.
