There are many different "mockingbird" characters in Harper Lee’s classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Early on in the novel‚ Atticus tells his children to "shoot all the blue jays that you want‚ but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird" (Lee 103).

For this case of book adapted to big screen Hollywood films‚ I’m using the film Zodiac. It kinda feels obvious why a book this big would get a adaptation equally as big. From what I had gathered from a bit of commentary

In this 1962 film there was a great deal of battle between the vices of bad characters and the good actions‚ virtues‚ and knowledge of good characters. After reading the excerpts of Aristotle‚ these distinctions became clear as the actions of several characters throughout the movie placed them as good or bad. The film takes place in Alabama in the late 1930’s surrounding Jean Louise “Scout” Finch and her brother Jem as they grow up under the care of their father Atticus. Their father is example

Although placed in a past time period‚ the book Too Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and the movie The Help by Tate Taylor both portray the theme of racism throughout in a way that still correlates to modern day society. The most obvious affect racism has on the people of Maycomb (the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird) occurs between the whites and the blacks.
