        <description><![CDATA[Very appropriate.  Tom is murdered in this book.  He is a mockingbird...one who is beautiful and sings a lovely song of humanity and what we can be if we overlook social constraints in order to do the right thing.There are other mockingbirds in the book, as well.  Boo Radley, for one.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Making the narrator an adult recalling her childhood point of view is crucial. It makes possible the intermingling of our still-forming, childish, magical view of the world and an &quot;objective&quot; view of the world, which as adults (hopefully) we learn is just as hard to pin down. In my childhood, there was treasure at the bottom of every lake I swam, when i was being punished, my parents were secret agent imposters and the customs of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I am always struck by the scene when the children go to look for Atticus and find Cunningham and the townspeople there confronting him.  The children not only run out to protect Atticus, but Scout's innocent comments saves her father's life.  It's incredible to see how adults forget the little things when faced with an issue, and how a child must remind them. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The advantages to having a young character as narrator are that Scout's innocence highlights the social prejudice, injustice and racism in the story. Scout cannot initially appreciate the fear and rejection which surrounds Boo, the mockery of a trial where a clearly innocent man is found guilty or the harshness of a society who accepts a man be punished not for a crime but for the colour of his skin. Scout has to 'learn' the prejudices of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Both the characters of Jem and Scout can be related to the title as well.  If you think of growing up as metaphorical shooting, Jem and Scout have has some harsh realities to deal with during this book.  Both grow up and experience some disillusionment, but when Boo Radley not only comes out of his house, but saves their lives, he allows them to be kids again--to believe in the goodness of their neighbors and the safety of their neighborhood....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Advantages:  Scout is a child when these events take place, so the reader sees the events through her eyes--not colored by the bias and prejudices that the rest of the town seems to have.  She simply reports the events and tells the reader her understanding of them, rather than telling the reader how the reader should think.  Telling the story from Scout's point of view can also make the story for poignant and allow the reader to have greater...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Boo's journey from object of torment in the children's fantasies to being a full fledged human being, it was important for Boo to make that journey under his own volition, rather than through the actions of others.  Boo made the choice several times throughout the novel to reach out to others in their need, whether a blanket in the night or protection from a killer. These acts of love and compassion are what highlighted for Scout...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The conversation in which Atticus tells Jem and Scout why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird (because they don't hurt anything, and all they do is sing for us) is a major indicator as to why Harper Lee decided to coin her novel To Kill A Mockingbird.Both major storylines, the trial of Tom Robinson and the mystery surrounding Boo Radley, can be related back to this title.  Tom is completely innocent; he's definitely not raped Mayella, and most...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm not sure I would call the battle unwinable at all.  Mrs. Dubose did win her battle to be free of morphine.  However, she knew that winning the battle would mean nothing in the big picture.  She was dying and getting free of the morphine would not change that.  The win would prove something about her will, and about her ability to control her own destiny.In Atticus' case, he knows he will lose the original court case.  He has no doubt...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch calls Mrs. Dubose, &quot;the bravest woman he has ever met.&quot;  It is because of Atticus' understanding of Mrs. Dubose's addiction to morphine, and her subsequent battle to free herself from her addiction, that he is able to transform her from an embittered, racist crone to a courageous hero.  By taking on the Tom Robinson case Atticus, like Mrs. Dubose, takes on an unwinnable challenge. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The novel opens with a story of growing up in a small town. Jem and Scout have the normal adventures you would expect in this type of story.  They come into conflict with their family, they encounter adventures with a rabid dog, an eccentric neighbor, and a young school teacher who clearly doesn't understand the culture of the town.  They watch a man pee off the porch and then Jem and Dill have a peeing contest.  This half of the novel is...]]></description>
