Coming Of Age To Kill A Mockingbird

Recognizing and understanding the perspectives of others can and will be very challenging in life but it is an important thing that everyone need to know. Sometimes a person may need to understand others perspectives in order for them to be able to go on to the next step. These types of situations will come early in life which is why it is important to learn at a young age. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee she shows the theme that coming of age involves recognizing others perspectives through many literary devices, like symbol and conflict.
In the book To Kill a Mockingbird the author Harper Lee uses symbol to show the theme coming of age involves recognizing different perspectives. The great thing about having a symbol in the writing is that you might not figure out that something is a symbol until the end of the book or until someone explains the significance to you. For example, the term “to kill a mockingbird is a sin” comes up multiple times in the book as a symbol telling Scout and Jem not to bother innocent people. This symbol shows that coming of age involves recognizing different perspectives because Jem and Scout did not notice that they were bothering Arthur Radley until Atticus told them that maybe he just likes to be by himself and that they should not try to get him out when he is doing nothing bad to them or anyone else. He was basically being a mockingbird because he did nothing to cause harm and he was there to help when he saw someone in need
This is a very important thing that everyone needs to learn because this is used every day in all places; at work, at home, in between family members. Conflicts will arise and needing to look at the perspectives of others will be a crucial part in finding a solution to satisfy
