I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The book is about a child named Scout who grows up during the 1930’s around the time of the great depression. While she grows up she is taught life lessons and learns to see people in different ways. Some people she learns more about are Tom Robinson, a man who her father is defending in court, and Boo Radley, her neighbor who never comes out of his house. Scout is also confronted with a lot of situations where she is not old enough to understand at her young age, but as the reader hears her reading from an older perspective she realizes these situations were important.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are both symbolized as the mockingbird. The first person who was inferred as a mockingbird was Boo Radley. Boo Radley is recognized as one of the mockingbirds of the story because he has not done anything horrible. Scout talks to Miss Maudie about the rumors she has heard about Boo and Miss Maudie says that he has not done any of those rumors. The only other person who claims she has seen Boo doing something bad was Miss Stephanie who has a very big mouth. Miss Maudie tells Scout that Miss Stephanie is only lying about seeing Boo outside her window. The only other event where Boo was bad was when he was with his “gang” and he was still punished by his father for his actions. Another reason Boo is shown as the mockingbird of the book is because he has only hurt one person. The only person that Boo has hurt was his father and that is still just a rumor. When Boo stabbed his father with the scissors his father punished him and did not let him go without consequences. Boo has not hurt anyone or done anything bad so he is portrayed as the mockingbird throughout the book. Tom Robinson is also symbolized as a

I am reading To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. The book is about a family that lives in a small town called Maycomb, Alabama and takes place during the great depression.

Block 3 I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I finished the book. This book was about two innocent kids and their friend learning the way of the world, with the help of their father, Calpurnia and other people they learn that not everything in the world is like they imagen. In this journal I will be evaluating. I am evaluating the symbol of the mockingbird. I believe that one symbol that represent the mockingbird is Boo Radley.
Tom is a black man who is falsely accused of rape by a white woman, and despite Atticus’s best efforts to prove his innocence, he is convicted and ultimately killed. Tom is innocent of the crime he is accused of, and his death represents the injustice of the racial prejudice that is pervasive in the society of the novel. Boo Radley is a recluse who is rumored to be a dangerous and violent person. However, as the story progresses, the reader learns that Boo is actually kind and gentle, leaving presents for Scout and her brother Jem and saving their lives in the end. Boo is a mockingbird because he is innocent of the rumors that surround him and he does no harm to anyone.
Amazingly, this was his only form of contact he has with the outside world until his father closed it up with concrete. Boo or also known as, Arthur Radley, is actually a very shy character who is often misjudged by society including Jem and Scout. As the story goes on, we find Scout is beginning to realize Boo's situation when Scout tells Atticus that exposing Boo would be "sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't
In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee the term mockingbird symbolizes innocence in a person. In the novel it focuses on the fact that innocence, represented by the mockingbird, can be wrongfully harmed. There are two characters: Tom Robinson and Arthur “Boo” Radley that are supposed to represent the mockingbird. In the novel, Tom Robinson is the best example of a mockingbird because he is prosecuted for a crime he did not commit. Also, he was judged unfairly based on the color of his skin in his trial.
According to kill a mockingbird, mockingbirds represents a sense of innocence. In the book, Miss Maudie explains to scout, why to kill a mockingbird is a sin. She says, “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s 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.”
Scout even refers to Boo as a mockingbird when she says that shooting him would be like killing a mocking bird. Tom Robinson, although he may be very different from Boo has one thing in common with him: he is also a mockingbird whose only “fault” is being black. Tom Robinson is a totally innocent character not harming anyone, in fact he does Mayella Ewell a favor and comes and lends her a hand with no selfish intent. However, even though he has given no trouble to anyone and is innocent, he still becomes a victim at the cruel hands of the Ewells. Just like a mockingbird Tom was killed for nothing.
Firstly, one character who is a mockingbird is Boo Radley. Boo is a character who in the book is not understood by the people of Maycomb. Boo stays in the Radley Place for the whole story until he saves Jem and Scout’s lives. After Mr. Tate leaves the Finch’s house Scout tells her father this, “‘Yes sir, I understand,’ I reassured him.
This can be seen when he leaves gifts for Jem and Scout. Boo is actually a very shy character who is often misjudged by society, including Jem and Scout. As the story goes on, we find Scout beginning to realise Boo 's situation when she tells Atticus that exposing Boo would be "sort of like shootin ' a mockingbird, wouldn
but she understands that women are seen in a lower light than men. The final stereotype seen in To Kill a Mockingbird is social discrimination like that faced by Boo Radley and his family. The Radleys were an odd and private family and this lead people to criticize and torment them. Boo is a quiet man who never leaves his house and is probably afraid to do so.
In the novel, the “mockingbirds” are considered to be Arthur Radley (Boo), Tom Robinson,
I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The book is about Tom Robinson in jail and Atticus is trying to get him out. Scout and Jem have an encounter with Bob Ewell, that doesn’t turn out so good. Scout walks in other people’s shoes. In this journal I will be evaluating.
