KILL

Scout recalling the Grey Ghost which Atticus had just read aloud to her. Every character and setting and event perfectly fit into her story and lessons she taught within them. To wrap up my thoughts, although it took me some time to appreciate To Kill A Mockingbird and its lessons, I am so glad I took the time to read Harper Lee’s Story, the one I had heard about forever, but more importantly to understand the book. Harper Lee’s perspective on racism, growing up and stereotypes was fascinating…

At the beginning of the novel in the epigraph the words of Charles Lamb were displayed by Lee stating, “Lawyers, I suppose, were children once.” Within her novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee establishes the idea that children are free from the racism of American society as they maintain their innocence until their moral education begins. She weaves into the novel that the transition to adulthood in the early nineteenth century in America, especially in the South, caused the development of…

something evil or something good at least once. The one who judges people by a simple “good” or “evil” is the one who has never tried to walk in someone else's shoes. If you don’t understand why I think of that, here is an example. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, before anyone stepped into Boo Radley’s shoes, everybody thought that Boo Radley was just an evil person that “is six-and-a-half feet tall”, “dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch”, “hands were bloodstained”, “eyes…

Heck Tate, Bob Ewell, and Mayella Ewell testify against Tom Robinson in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Heck Tate, the sheriff who Bob Ewell sought after once he discovered Mayell, attests first. Several statements from Heck’s testimony reflect a prejudice mindset. For example, when asked if anyone fetched a doctor to attend to Mayella after her attack, Heck simply says, “It wasn’t necessary, Mr. Finch… Something sho’ did happened, it was obvious.” (141) His statement portrays thoughts of…

but for most it works well and it allows blacks and whites to coexist, at least from what we see. "...half white, half colored. You've seen 'em Scout ... they're real sad ... they don't belong anywhere." (Page 215, Lee, Harper.) This quote from To Kill A Mockingbird shows that even in a fairly well balanced community assuming that majority of people are as accepting as they…

Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” features a lot of discrimination against race, sex, and culture. As Bonnie Hammer once said, “Prejudice and discrimination based on our differences is an unfortunate fact of life”. It is very unfortunate and sad that discrimination is a common occurrence all over the world. Discrimination is shown when the townspeople bullied Atticus’ children for him defending Tom Robinson. It is also shown when Mr. Dolphus Raymond has to pretend to be drunk so he won’t be…

Francis called me that last Christmas, that’s where I first heard it.’” (Lee, Chapter 11). This shows racism because Mrs. Dubose and Francis are insulting Atticus because he is defending a black man. In conclusion, racism is a very important part of To Kill a…
