Miss Maudie Aunt Alex

The Maycomb ladies provide an excellent example of
racial prejudice, and a failure to see what it is
like in someone elses skin. They believe they are
doing well by making money for missions, failing
to see the hardship on their own doorsteps. Aunt
Alexandra is very important to the novel, To Kill
a Mockingbird, as she is a representative of these
viewpoints, disapproving of Calpurnia and
disassociating herself from the black community
entirely. Miss Maudie however is the counterpoint
to Aunt Al...

Jem And Scout Kill A Mockingbird

Courage Harper Lee based many characters from her
Pulitzer Prize winning novel, To Kill a
Mockingbird, on important people in her own life.
Her father, a southern lawyer, served as a model
for Atticus Finch. Her older sister shared many of
the same reclusive qualities as Boo Radley. It can
be understood that these people in Lee s life were
only foundations for the characters in To Kill a
Mockingbird in view of the abundance of
courageousness found in the novel. It would be
very difficult to conc...

Learning Experiences (To Kill A Mockingbird)
Essay, Research Learning Experiences (To Kill A
Mockingbird) One of the principal aims of To Kill
a Mockingbird is to subject the narrator to a
series of learning experiences and then observe
how much she profits from her experiences. There
is rarely a chapter that does not teach Scout
something new or does not build toward a new
learning experience. So, one rewarding approach to
the novel is throughout an examination of these
experiences. In the larg...
