Mockingjay Part 1, Chapter 1, by Suzanne Collins, is so far telling the story of Katniss Everdeen visiting District 12 and living in District 13. 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

    To Kill A Mocking Bird Book Report

    I can’t say I’m astonished by the State Board of Education’s decision to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird”. After all, what can you expect from such short-minded people? Such people that regrettably are put in the position to judge what books are moral and fit to be read by young adults. Is it the book’s display of what really happens in the world, or the book’s lessons of protecting innocence and standing up for what you see as right, that makes this book so disgraceful, that we must shelter young minds from?…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 1-10

    The book’s first chapter is about Dryden meeting Rachel. She runs into him early in the morning and asks “Yes or no, she said, I can’t wait any longer”(Lee 6). From how Patrick Lee describes the scene you can clearly tell Rachel does not have a lot of time to waste. She needs to get going as fast as possible. That is why I chose the song Time Bomb by All Time Low. The quote from the song is, “We were like a time bomb set into motion, we knew that we were destined to explode”. This quote works imperviously for the whole book. The two are always being chased down and Rachel constantly has time stuck on her mind. She always has to be on the run from the Government. She makes some friends on this journey, in the little time she feels safe. She has had time stuck in her head since she escaped the laboratory that they were testing her in. Rachel tells Dryden she can not wait very long. She is just trying to keep enough time between her and the government, or at least enough to let her live. She lost all of her memory and that will take time for it to all come back to…

    Book Analysis: To Kill a Mockingbird

    The novel To Kill A Mockingbird is a story about innocence, knowledge, prejudice and courage. In the beginning the main character, Scout, starts out to be a very immature child not knowing the prejudice times around her, as the story goes on she gains knowledge of these times by fellow kids around her accusing her dad of being a "nigger lover" which then, it was an insult. Her dad was being courageous of a black man being faulsey accused of raping a white girl. Her dad, Atticus, is a crimnal defense attorney only doing his job and not discriminating against this man. The line in the book "Shoot, all the bluejays you want, but remember its a sin to kill mockingbird" is referring to the black man in the story, Tom. He symbolises a mockingbird because all mockingbirds do is sing for our enjoyment and stay out of harms way, so if you kill them its a sin. He is the mockingbird in the story and all he does is stay out of harms way and is accused of a crime and in the end is eventually guilty and dies.…

    Mockingjay Epilogue

    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.…

    Final To Kill a Mockingbird Essay

    Atticus Finch said, “I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." Jem learns that it’s wrong to kill a mockingbird because they are innocent creatures. As the citizens of Maycomb are introduced, you realize all the hatred and violence that kids, parents, and friends have to experience. Some children, like Dill, who’s basically an orphan, want nothing except to have a family to look after them; Or Jem, who start out enjoying their young lives, but later grow up to a world full of wrong-doing. Even a man who was victimized from one event that happened in his teen years, grows up innocent minded, yet was still treated as a foe after he grew up. Harper Lee destroys the innocence of three child-like “mockingbirds” in the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, to metaphorically illustrate the pureness that’s lost in everyday life. Lee composes a few examples from the city of Maycomb, but soon you realize how these very instances happen in our own lives as well.…
