To Kill A Mockingbird Social Lense Analysis
For this project I choose the three genres of a map, a postcard and a collage looking at them through a socio-economic, a historical and psychological lenses. This project is peices of Scout’s scrapbook that she made.
My first genre in my novel is a map of Maycomb through a socio-economic lense showing the different levels of the social classes based on economy as well as the character’s reputation and how they are perceived by society. “Behind the rough oak pulpit a faded pink silk banner proclaimed God Is Love, the church’s only except a rotogravure print of Hunt’s light of the world.

The shadow of a mockingbird in the middle represents innocences and around it is pictures and symbols that represents the mockingbird.

Tom Robinson and the gavel represents Tom and the trail, also him making the choice to try and escape jail instead of listening to Atticus, the result ends up in him getting shot. Scout's ham costume demonstrates her aspects of her personality. Scout loving the center of attention and wearing the ham costume brings a lot of attention. Lastly the cat and sapling shows curiosity and child innocence. Jem and Scout being so curious in the Radley house in the beginning of the book, is a child’s natural behavior, as the story progresses their innocences begins to fade as they move into adulthood. “ As I made my way home I thought Jem and I would get grown but there wasn’t much else for us to learn, except possibly algebra.” (Lee, 374). Scout is explaining in this quote that she has learned everything, meaning that they her childhood innocence has now been exposed to to the evil side of human
