impressions, especially in the minds of children.

negative, thus, discrediting the individual who
conveys the impression and causing the observers

times these impressions, aided by misunderstanding
and prejudgment, cause unjust discrimination
against an individual. Tokill a Mockingbird

and grow as our narrator and as a person. She
learned many things, but also lost many things. As
she grew up and changed, she began to see how
things really were, and gained the knowledge of
the pure hate that one man can show another. Scout
lost her innocence when she found this out. She

forward many important themes, such as the
importance of education, recognition of inner
courage, and the misfortunes of prejudice. This
novel was written in the 1930 s. This was the

Kill A Mockingbird Sin To Kill
929 words
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

racist South during the Great Depression. The

Schools tend to have cliques, small groups of
narrow-minded people who criticize others. These
teens in cliques parallel adults in today's
society. They prey on those who believe in
different things, come from different backgrounds,
and have different morals and values. In To Kill a
Mockingbird by Harper Lee, three characters, Boo
Radley, Tom Robinson, and Atticus Finch, all
resemble mockingbirds, in that people persecute
them for no reason. The people of Maycomb County

To Kill a Mockingbird For me To Kill a Mocking
Bird by Harper Lee is the clear demonstration of a
moralistic literature. It seems to me that the
plot is not as important for the reader as the
moral values advertised are. From this book we
learn to be honest to people by avoiding biases
and prejudices. I want to describe the book plot,
its characters, and major themes in combination
with the expression of my own opinion about
different situations depicted in the book. As far
as I know, the plot o...

Contemporary Literary Criticism Vol Detroit Mi Gale

A recurring theme in J. D. Salinger's stories
concerns people who dont fit in with the
traditional American culture. Salinger's most
successful tales are of those who cannot adjust to
the real world. His main characters are
super-intelligent humans who must choose between
the phony real world (American culture) and a
morally pure, nice world. Salinger's misfit
hero[es] (Levine 498), unlike the rest of society,
are caught in the struggle between a superficial

times my sister, Scout can be disgusting. I came
home from a long day at school. I found Scout on
the porch chewing a wad of gum. I knew it was gum
because she had it in her mouth for a long time
and plus I could see it in her mouth. So just like
any normal brother would do, I told her not to eat
things you find and she said that she didn t find
it on the ground but rather in a tree. I put an

? Vision is the act of seeing things invisible?
(Jonathan Swift). In every society there is an
underlying darkness that is alienation. Those who
fall victim to alienation become the invisible and
voiceless members of society. In Society there are
few that see alienation. There are even fewer that
know it is morally wrong and try to illuminate it.
Alienation often goes unseen, but it is always
there. The struggle to eliminate it will forever
continue. In To Kill A Mockingbird it is children
