Eleven By oakley The analogy from the story Eleven might be about how it is hard to grow up, and it is, and how growing up doesn't stop people from being rude to you. But also this is not the most helpful storr when it comes to thinking about growing up. I have evidence that the analogy might be about how it is hard to grow up. My evidence is “Only today I wish I didn't have only eleven years rattling inside me like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box” because you are still young, but still…

“Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit'em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird,” (90). The mockingbird represents innocent people. Like hunters who kill mockingbirds for sport, people kill innocent people without even thinking about what they are doing. In to Kill a Mockingbird, race is an important theme because white people don’t realize how most blacks are innocent because they are too focused on how they are better than them.

Harper Lee uses symbolism throughout her entire book. It helps each and every reader to put themselves in the characters shoes and relate to them. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird,…

Thomas C. Foster says that “irony trumps everything” (244). There is a deep irony to Harper Lee’s novel when it comes to the attitude of the townspeople towards the actions of Adolf Hitler in Germany and the Tom Robinson case that’s happening right in their backyard. Cecil Jacobs comes to class with a news article in hand that discusses the persecution of the Jews in Germany. Then Miss Gates describes that the United States is a democracy, while Germany is a dictatorship. She continues by…
