3 reason blog to kill a mockingbird by jackson

Overall To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee was a very well written book. I liked that it had lots of symbolism in the story. For example that Boo Radley was considered to be a mockingbird. The reason the people from the town shouldn’t kill a mockingbird is because they’re harmless. In fact in the end of the story Boo Radley actually, helps the Finches by saving the kids from Mr. Ewell. Also, Tom Robinson is a mockingbird. He did nothing wrong but is still being punished because of his skin color. Atticus Finch shows that in the trial. He proves that Tom did nothing wrong and made a fool of Mr. Ewell. The single only reason the Ewell’s won was because of Tom Robinson’s skin color. Another example of symbolism is throughout the book where the author shows the small town feel. The town that these people live in very small and that shows in the book. I like this because it gives a different perspective than other books I have read. For example in Maycomb everyone knows everyone. So when a big event like the trial comes up in the town, everyone is there. Lastly, one more theme is the good and evil of the book. For example when it is shown but not directly said in the trial that Mr. Ewell beats his daughter that shows he is an evil man. Also, when Mr. Ewell attacks the Finch kids to get back at Atticus this shows that he is truly an evil man. On the contrary when Boo Radley comes in to save the day and kill Mr. Ewell to save the finch kids this shows that even there were many rumors about him that in his heart he is truly a good man. Next, when Mr. Finch decides to take the case and defend Tom Robinson he shows that he is a good man because Mr. Finch faces hate and criticism for this. Because he is the best lawyer in town defending a black man. He puts himself in danger and his family so that he can do the right thing in his heart. This shows that he is a good man. Another thing the I really enjoyed about the story was the character development. Throughout the story, we can see that each every character is changing in a good or bad way. In the story, Scout is the narrator for some of it. She shows throughout the story in how she grows as a person. Even though she is still young she shows that she is changing for the better. Jem is another character who develops. Both these kids are the children of Atticus Finch. I think that being their father is a huge part in why these two become much more mature by the end of the book. They truly begin to understand the racism and hate in the trial and how wrong it is. The character that I think develops the most but in a subtle way which is really interesting is Boo Radley. He is thought of as this mentally unstable guy at the beginning of the story. Throughout the story, the kids begin to explore him. In the end, after saving the Finch kids, Mr. Finch thanks him which shows how long he has come from not being known by the town to saving kids lives.
