This essay has taught me a lot about morality and how it can affect a person. To Kill a
Mockingbird shows great evidence on how the morality of someone can affect their lives and the lives of the characters around them. For example, Bob Ewell lives a very poor life with nothing to look forward to. With this, Bob does not think he needs the right sense of morality to teach his children. On the other hand, Atticus has a lot to look forward to in life. Jem and Scout have a life ahead of them that Atticus can look forward too. With this, Atticus’s good sense of morality partially comes from the fact that he has to teach his children the right lesson. If the book went on for another twenty years, I believe that Jem and Scout would have a better life with a better sense of morality that Mayella would. Also, Bob’s bad sense of morality affected the characters around him and even caused the life of a human. Since, Bob has a poor sense of morality, he does not feel bad blaming his beating of Mayella on Tom Robinson. Tom was obviously innocent and died trying to escape jail which Bob put him in. In a way, Bob is responsible for
Tom’s death. I did not realise how the morality of someone could be affected and how morality makes a difference on a person before reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Throughout this essay, I had a lot of positives and negatives. I would say i had more negatives than positives but i eventually worked them out. The easiest part of the essay for me was writing the parts the parts not about the quotes and research. For example saying, “Bob
Ewell lives a very poor life with nothing to look forward to.” was alot easier than explaining a quote. This is because quotes and evidence were extremely hard to come by when writing this paper. Most of the entrees by scholars I looked through did not explain how morality affected the
