171 Words1 Page

Their family unit is in disequilibrium because of the emotional distance that the Lees’ maintain toward Hannah and Nathan. They don’t realize how their parental skills affect their kids. They are self-absorbed and selfish parents that their existence in only about themselves. Hannah is almost invisible and Nathan was totally ignored. Lydia’s’ got their total attention but at the high price because of the pressure that they put on her was unbearable. The Lee’s avoid any confliction by pretending among them that everything was fine. By that they had a silent tactic to mask underlying the problems that they didn’t want to confront. A family need to have a close relationship

    1405 Words  | 6 Pages

    Innocence is a time in one’s life of carefreeness and peace. In youth, children have yet to experience the harsh realities of life, and when they do, it is often hard to cope with. In her novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee portrays Maycomb’s prejudiced ways through an unfair trial of an innocent man, and through the treatment of certain members of the community. The young narrator, Scout, and her older brother, Jem, experience growth and learn compassion when the trial exacerbates Maycomb’s intense intolerance. In this novel, Lee uses the characterization of the Finch children to demonstrate that innocent children who have been exposed to their community’s prejudice, often have trouble adjusting, but need a mentor figure to help them mature.
