This is similar to a mockingbird because both Atticus and mockingbirds are supported and cherished by some people. Mark Twain has decided to write in a hero who turns out cowardly, being too afraid to go back and tell his story, one who instead turns to seclusion far away from what he knows.
Which, in a way, is what Mark Twain did during his process of writing Huckleberry Finn. Huck turns out to be somewhat relatable to the man who is afraid of what people think, but that is not a true hero. A true hero is willing to do whatever it takes to do the right thing morally. Instead of the rebel teenage girl doing this in the hunger games and Divergent series, there is no dystopia, and no army, Chris is just a guy living in the modern dystopia of this world.
Whether the world is actually as detrimental as Chris believes it is, out in the wild, it's all peace and quiet for him. Some may agree on his adventure, some may disagree, and others may think he had a good point and adventure, but there should of been some precaution. These points of views all depend on the point of view on individualism. People find themselves in different ways and at different times. Every day brings new choices and we either learn to make them, or let someone else make them for us.
Maturity plays a part in the decisions we make and whether we take the role of the maker or the follower. Being afraid, but acting anyways is a true sign of courage and maturity, a topic which both Scout and I faced in our younger years.
Scout goes through a journey to bravery from carelessness, while I go through the same journey through the context of kindergarten. Another reason why Joy is a positive influence on Wes is because she wants Wes to try new things, but also stay with what he enjoyed to do.
She did everything to help Wes stay on the right path. By teaching him he could still have a good life and experience different things without those things being a bad influence on him. Scout Grows Up Throughout this novel Scout matures when she and Jem go through the trial about Tom Robinson, and Scout sees how Boo Radley has changed how she thinks about and views people. All she cares about is her going first in the tire. Scout Jean Louise - Jean Louise more commonly known as Scout is introduced to us as a young six year old girl who is innocent, but intrigued in the world.
On their journey, their father Atticus is key to their development. However, remaining mindful in one's choices and its moral validity is a notion Harper Lee often indicates she agrees with. Throughout her work, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee utilizes symbolism and point of view in an effort to connect the reader to realistic civil injustices occurring within present society. By using these techniques, Lee illustrates the message that one's judgment pure in intention will be conscience of peer corruption.
Our protagonists are Atticus Finch and his children Jem and Scout. At this time black people were subjected to Jim Crow racism, which allowed for institutionalized discrimination.
The story is based on the Scottsboro Boys trial of in which 9 boys were falsely accused of raping two white women.
Standing up for what is right grows to be a very grand issue in our lives, it is the fine line between choice and demand, it is what separates the conformist from the non-conformists.
Jem, being someone who is brave, likable, idealistic and noble, now understands the importance of standing up for what is right, regardless of what others think. In this essay, I will be discussing how he understands the true importance of. In the novel, to kill a mockingbird, Harper Lee presents three very distinct types of innocence that are portrayed by different characters throughout the novel.
By having an innocent little girl make racial remarks and regard people of color in a way consistent with the community, Lee provides the reader.
