. To Kill a Mockingbird Individual Project Four
I have had the pleasure of having the assignment to read To Kill a Mockingbird. This has been the most intriguing novel which I have ever read. It captivated me as a reader with the interesting intertwining storylines and characters. The moral lessons that it has to offer make it a life changing experience to read. This is one of the greatest novels ever written.
This is a story of a small town where life is easy. But unfortunately prejudice is still the way of life there as well. In the 1930’s it is certain that there will still be racism alive and well in …show more content…
Robinson stood for the things that were wrong in society. He was an innocent man who was convicted of a crime that he did not commit. The jury knew that he didn’t commit the crime, but they could not overcome the social implications of setting a black man free.
Boo Radley stood for the way that was right in a society. Bob Ewell was a threat to his family and the entire neighborhood. He was who the town called upon to rid them of the terror. Boo enjoyed watching the children play, and he was developing a relationship with them even though they were unaware of it. That made the action of Boo coming to the saving aid of Jem and Scout when Ewell had attacked them more of a reaction.
The final events of the book bring the character lines of Robinson and Boo together by having a moral correction to a very wrong issue. Where there had been a senseless killing because Tom had gone to jail being falsely accused, the sheriff was not going to let that happen to Boo. He was going to explain Bob’s death in a way that would allow Boo to remain free and not to allow any attention be drawn to …show more content…
“I’d rather you shoot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know that you will 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” (Lee, 1995). This was confusing to Scout and when she asked Miss Maudie’s opinion of it, Miss Maudie explained by saying, “Mockingbirds don 't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don 't eat up people 's gardens, don 't nest in corncribs, they don 't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That 's why it 's a sin to kill a mockingbird” [ (Lee, 1995) ]. It was a sin to kill Tom.
This means to me that I should take the example of Atticus. Not to judge anyone until I have lived their life for a while. Not to be attacking to people, and especially those who I do not understand. The reference that I take from Boo hiding gum and toys in the knot hole in the tree for the children meant to me that sometimes people do not always get to see a true representation of others. There may be parts of the people that stay a mystery for a really long time, but if you look hard enough, you can see what the best in them
