For my book report, I did a diorama using a simple shoe box. My book is called “Mockingjay”, by Suzanne Collins; it is the third book of “The Hunger Games. This book is about the girl on fire Katniss Everdeen, is in district 13, with her mother and her sister, Prim, along with Gale. Peeta’s family is dead, along with everyone in district 12 who didn’t escape to 13. Peeta is captured by the capital and is being tortured; they inject him with tracker jacker venom that makes him forget everything about Katniss.…

When Katniss arrives at District 12, she starts to feel sorrowful and culpable for the destruction and deaths of so many people she is seeing. Katniss goes into her old home while she was there and finds a white flower that was fresh and she thinks that it’s from President Snow. This flower obtained her attention so much, even though it was just a flower it meant more to her, something like revenge. “...how it’s not just a flower, not even just President Snow’s flower, but a promise of revenge…” (15). Then, she travels to District 13, where she and all the people from District 12 have to live in now…

For example, I did not like how we did not to get to learn more about Boo Radley. We only saw him at the end of the book after he saved Scout and Jem. Another thing I disliked about the book was how much the author talked about the Finch’s neighbors. Instead of writing about the neighbors Lee could have added more to the characters of Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. These are two main dislikes I have for To Kill a Mockingbird…
In this bustling world, everyone is born with responsibility. We have the obligation and duty to satisfactorily complete each of the tasks that comes across us. In all the texts that had been covered in this semester, it seems that “Mockingjay” has provided relatively easier and comparable examples about responsibility. In this novel, the author’s idea of being an accountable person should make decisions to serve themselves as well as others. Besides, the writer emphasizes that it is very important for us to keep a balance between taking accountability for oneself and others. In order to become more successful, we should learn our own limitations and be responsible for ourselves before we can be responsible for others.…
The novel To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee and its movie version feature the same basic story, but both adaptations contain similarities and differences. Some similarities and differences between the movie and the book include the deleted church scene, the movie’s exclusion of Aunt Alexandra— who played an important role in the novel — and the trial and conviction of Tom Robinson being emphasized in both versions.…
9. They create a snowman to look just like Mr. Avery. Miss Maudie and Atticus tell them that that was wrong, but they are secretly amused.…
Today is the day. The day where the Mockingjay unites with another to continue their lives together. Mother and I walk back to what’s left of the Seam, knowing it is a place worthy of a wedding. I found the dresses Cinna left behind for the forced wedding. Now, with Coin and Snow dead, nothing feels forced. I can hunt freely outside the District Limits put in place by the Peacekeepers. I can give to the poor what I catch, and I can make sure everyone is equal. I chose the least popular dress for the moment because I wanted to resist the Capitol to the maximum I could. I hate them for everything they did. Not just the military officials, everyone there. Taking all our resources and killing us off without a just reason. That’s why everyone needs a guiding light. And to me, Peeta’s light shines the brightest. He’s the reason I’m still alive. Because he risked himself to be captured by the Capitol so I would be safe. And only him will I trust to lead me into happiness.…
• As the summer comes to a close, Scout and Jem find more presents in the Radley tree, but their bounty is suddenly cut off by Mr. Radley.…
Here, Atticus educates his children as to the true meaning of heroism. Mrs. Dubose was a rather cranky and offensive old woman who lived nearby. She spoke out harshly against Atticus, and in a fit of rage, Jem attacked her flower bed. As punishment, he had to read to her every day after school. Unknowingly, Jem was helping the woman overcome her morphine addiction. Atticus reveals this to his children after the woman has passed, and lets them evaluate the situation for themselves. Atticus treats his children as adults and shows them the meaning of true courage. The last two lines in the passage serve as an analogy to the Tom Robinson case and show that Atticus knows he will not win, but must try his best in his search for justice.…
Mockingbirds are placid, blissful, and vulnerable animals. They do not harm anything or anyone. Killing a mockingbird resembles sin to many people throughout the entire novel. In To Kill a Mockingbird many characters can be characterized as being a mockingbird, including: Tom Robinson, Arthur (Boo) Radley, and Charles Baker Harris (Dill). Mockingbirds do not deserve any form of harm or pain in any way, shape, or form. Innocent humans do not deserve to be abused or threatened by anyone or anything.…
Even though Atticus is just seen as a lawyer in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", Jem and Scout, his kids, come to realize what kind of a great father he is. Many people think a gun is used to kill innocent people or animals. Atticus shot this mad dog because if he had not, the dog would have been danger towards others. Miss Maudie tells Scout and Jem "forgot to tell you the other day that besides playing the Jew’s harp, Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time" (Lee 98). This demonstrates that Scout and Jem come to understand and value Atticus when they see him come and kill the dog. Before this innocent happened they thought that Atticus was just a man who solved cases, but they never knew about the other side of their father. Atticus in this story is a lawyer who defends a black male named Tom Robinson. One of Atticus’s reason to defend Tom Robinson was that if he didn’t then he couldn’t be able to hold up his head in town and couldn’t represent this county in the legislature. He also couldn’t even tell Scout or Jem not to do something again. Jem and Scout come to admire Atticus when they figure out that Atticus is standing up for what he believes in even though most of the whole county doesn’t. Finally Atticus speaks to Jem about courage. He tries to develop that relationship with Jem by making him see things the way he does. For instance he talks about Mrs. Dubose to Jem and says “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what” (112). This proves that Jem comes to admire Atticus through his speech because Atticus is using another person as an example then himself. He is using Mrs. Dubose as an example and tried to make him understand that she died beholden to nothing and no one. The reason Atticus explained it this way was because, he wanted Jem to understand…
After Tom dies, the book switches back to Boo Radley, (he was the main attraction in the beginning of the book). Boo is all locked up in his house away from society and the children of Atticus Finch, scout and Jim, are constantly looking for him. When they figure out that boo has experienced allot of pain in his life they can be seen crying in sorrow. They know that no human being should be treated so badly. You feel bad for boo when you see this, because he has to experience horrible things for…
Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines prejudice as “an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge.” This type of prejudice was what Arthur “Boo” Radley had to endure every day of his lifetime in the town of Maycomb County, Alabama. “People determined to preserve every physical scrap of the past” (185). The residents of Maycomb are, for the most part, paper-cut copies of the typical Southerner. They are very traditional, keeping much of their former beliefs and activities as possible. However, there is a notable few that do not quite fit with the rest of the town, Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, Jeremy Atticus “Jem” Finch, Arthur “Boo” Radley and Charles “Dill” Baker Harris. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee skillfully shows how Scout, Jem, and Dill were prejudice against Boo, when in fact; all these children are comparable to Boo even if they had not noticed so. Their personality differences from the rest of the town, the care of their fathers, and wanting to connect with someone are what makes Scout, Jem and Dill relatable to Boo, with their similarities mentioned respectively, also all of them share the innocence represented by the symbolism of a mockingbird.…
