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...

Kill A Mockingbird Sin To Kill

Symbolism is used extensively in the novel To Kill
a Mockingbird. The theme of prejudice in the novel
can be best perceived through the symbol of the
mockingbird. Atticus advised his children that if
they went hunting for birds to "shoot all the
bluejays you want, if you can hit " em, but
remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird" (96).
Miss Made explains this further by saying that
"mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music
for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's
gardens, don't nest in...

equal privileges. As a result of this, segregation
was born. Segregation is the seperation of two
different groups, in this case, black and white
people. Blacks and whites were separated in many
ways such as having differ...
