To Kill a Mockingbird
Mockingbirds are birds that does one thing; Making music for us to enjoy and nothing else to harm us. In the remarkable novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the mockingbird is used as symbolism for real people.

In the little town of Maycomb in its 1930¡¯s, the prejudice was an accepted concept for every individual and Atticus even called it a ¡®disease¡¯ of the town. This time-honored perception, prejudice, was very distinctly shown in the novel from its characters and the society. Prejudice does not seem like a such a big deal in the novel as it actually is now

The children heard rumors from other people about Boo Radley and in spite of their young age, believed what they heard. Boo Radley just never got out of the house for some reason and that just interested and inspired them more and more to know more about him to see him. Likewise, Jem and Scout hold the opinion that it was Boo Radley who had put in gifts in the little hole of the tree for them ( ).
