    To Kill A Mockingbird Malala Quotes

    Writing the sounds Malala Yousafzai heard whilst she was shot is really interesting. You can take this quote in many ways. First, she could have written it this way because she relives it when she writes. Repeating the same sound over and over represents someone being affected by a traumatic experience. Second, she is explaining that instead of thinking of her death, her body was trying to find ways to avoid shock. It’s similar to when you have a panic attack, you try and focus on one object to calm you down. So when she wrote this, she wanted the reader to imagine the butcher’s chopping rather than the gun shot because it’s what she did. Third, she wants the reader to know she was conscious then she was shot but not fully aware. Either way,…

    Atticus Quotes In To Kill A Mockingbird

    Atticus is criticized openly in the society where the book takes place (Maycomb) because of his understandings. Atticus had made the connection that Mayella could have been beaten by her father instead of being beaten by Tom. He made this connection by saying that Mayella was hit on her right eye and it would make more sense for the person the person who attacked her was left handed. This shows that Mayella's dad could have beat her because he is left handed and Tom is right handed. “The right side, Mr. Finch, but she had more bruises—you wanta hear about ‘em?” He is criticized because people believed that he had crossed the line and had no right to say that. Atticus is also criticized with the fact that he believes Tom could have not beat…

    Comparing "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Bless Me, Ultima".

    A major theme in To Kill a Mockingbird is the moral nature of humans. At the beginning of the novel, Scout and Jem live in their childhood world, intuitively assuming that everyone is good because not once in their lives have they seen what evil truly is. As Jem and Scout transition from their naïveté and innocence, Atticus is there every step of the way, in order to guide them towards the right path. He is neither the strictest parent nor the most affectionate, but the reader comes to see Atticus as the noblest man and father one could ever encounter. As Tom Robinson's trial looms around the corner,…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Town Quotes

    In To Kill a Mockingbird the story is based in the country of Maycomb. In the beginning of the story the narrator describes the town as “Maycomb, some 20 miles east of Finch's landing”(5), and “Maycomb was an old town…” (6) also “nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb”(6). In these quotes the narrator shows that the people think that the town is everything great about the world, even though it was a considerably old town. Finch’s landing was where the Finch family started in Alabama, so the town was not far. People in Maycomb know about most of the people in Maycomb. People that are outsiders.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Bravery Quotes

    In To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee illustrates bravery through the characters in a town in the south called Maycomb in the 1960s. Their names are Atticus Finch, Tom Robison, and Calpurnia to educate her readers that courage comes in many forms to exemplify that courage is not a man with a gun in his hand.

    To Kill A Mockingbird Lady-Like Quotes

    Have you ever found a character, maybe in a tv show, or book, that you can relate to the most (especially by a landslide)? Some people could say yes to the moon and back, while some people have never related that much to a character in their life. For me, I’m more of the former, and I found a character to relate to in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; Scout Finch. To explain, Scout and I take longer than others to understand things, which could cause frustration in others (mainly peers), and we’re both put under at least some pressure to be more “lady-like”. There’s other similarities too, but they’re either not as significant or I couldn’t find as much quotes to support them.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Reason Quotes

    “Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up peoples gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee 90). This quote exemplifies one of the most important themes of this work as Miss.Maudie touches on the idea that, without reason, humans are often unnecessarily cruel to one another.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Quote Analysis

    “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do” (Lee 149). In this passage Atticus Finch is explaining that courage isn’t just about being tough, it’s about persevering, giving up your fears, and never losing hope. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus expresses that courage is to never give up or finish what you started, which I can relate to from personal experience.…
