Kill A Mockingbird Boo Radley
658 words
A) We all know that good literature expresses a
theme. This is definitely the case in To Kill a
Mockingbird. Harper Lee plays with various
universal themes that her readers can relate to. I
noticed that Lee made a point to show that
ignorance and naiveness are two totally different
things. This is most obvious when she uses Scout,
a young tomboy to tell her own story. Through
Scout we meet Boo Radley, whom to the rest of
Maycomb, is, well, a freak because he chooses to
live in seclusion. Scout h...

Partial Birth Abortion Kill A Mockingbird

No need to state the obvious; everyone knows what
abortion is. Then why do so many people push the
issue aside as if it were a piece of food? We live
in a world; a society so corrupt that to kill the
innocent, the unborn, is just another part of the
day. The media portrays sexual intercourse as a
right of passage for teenagers and do not say it
does not. Any person in the United States can tell

Prejudice In To Kill A Mockingbird
385 words
In Harper Lees To Kill a Mockingbird, there are
three types of prejudice shown. The three I will
be dealing with in this essay are gender
prejudice, racial prejudice, and social class
prejudice. Firstly, gender prejudice was shown
throughout the book by most folk of Maycomb
County. For example, the book shows Scout was
ridiculed by the Finch family because of her lack
of being lady-like, and because she was a girl she
was expected to act and wear lady-like clothing.

Harper Lee shows in the book To Kill a
Mockingbird, that both children and adults kill
mocking birds. When I read that statement I
thought of a mockingbird that I once knew. He was
the kindest, funniest and most innocent person I
ever met. I was in the second grade at the Academy
of Sacred Heart when I first met Zubarr Khan. The
kids were terrible from the start just because he
was different. When he said his name the students
started to snicker, and look at each other. His
voice was very deep a...
