makes “To Kill a Mockingbird” such an appropriate title? The mockingbird is seen as the most significant symbol in the book as it is continually repeated through literal and metaphorical means. This poignant motif runs through the entire book as it foreshadows the events which occurs in the latter part of the book.

While both “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Help” seem to emphasize individual courage‚ each story displays their own unique way of showing this prodigious quality.
