Asha Ray-C. Right. I think it’s a strange thing to not touch on. Innocence was the major motif of the book- Tom Robinson is legally innocent (more than Maycomb thinks), Boo Radley is socially innocent (more than Maycomb thinks- him and Tom parallel each other, obviously), and Atticus’s kids (particularly Jem) lose innocence through coming-of-age. The mockingbird can be shown to represent those particular circumstances where innocence is portrayed multiple times (for example Atticus sacrifices presenting the Ewells kindly in order to protect Tom, not because he’s defenseless, but because Atticus knows Tom is ‘innocent’ in court and Atticus is nothing if not fair legally) (and as the children walk home from the Halloween pageant, a single mockingbird is in the trees), so missing it is missing a lot of the symbolism.

That's awesome, hope you did well! I am 33 yrs old and watching this video, after reading this back in early high school. In a way I am reflecting back on important life lessons, with the current social problems we see daily. Even today, many people my age have completely forgotten these lessons in life, and continue to punish the weak believing their righteousness. Many cower by associating themselves with groups and ideologies and continue to argue with others in groups just like them, but believe otherwise. Perhaps those people never paid attention when they read this book in school, or have fallen into the habit of ignorance.

It's so easy to only focus on your things and forget about the rest of the world when you can't be open-minded. You're so white-supremacist that you only see your problem, and not the rest of the world when the rest of the world also acknowledge your problem. Just ask yourself: If you're sooooo nice and unbiased, why would you have such a mindset? If you're not racist, how can you only acknowledge your own problems? If you're not evil, why do you want nonwhite people to flee to Somalia or Honduras where terrorist attacks are always happening, where you can get raped, kidnapped, robbed the minute you step inside? Or do you just want them to go there because you think oh I'm white therefor I'm more superior than all of you coloured people? And to answer your question, they are trying to go to America because: 1. They can. They are human and should be treated the same as you and me. 2. They probably live in horrible third-world countries so they would want to immigrate to a better place. 3. Somalia and Honduras are horrible countries, as I've already explained.

For me, the most touching scene in the movie adaptation was when the black people stood up when Atticus Finch left the courtroom. For me, it was not the respect that they paid that touched me but the manner in which Atticus Finch left the room. It tells me that he felt guilty and ashamed that, he could not save that innocent man's life. I guess it appeals to me because although humans have gone so far in issues like slavery and discrimination against race, religion, gender and sexual preferences, we still have so far to go. For instance. The killing and torture of animals for food. The destruction of their natural habitats and probably many other issues that I am still too naive to see. The guilt and shame I felt for being part of it allows me to empathize with the moment Atticus Finch left the room. The mocking bird in the title to me represents Atticus Finch. He is the man who who sings the ''truth''. To try to live his life in the right way in an unjust society but instead of being rewarded, he put his loved ones lives in danger. Since to kill his children's life is to kill him, thus the title ''to kill a mocking bird.'' Society's punishment for people who speak up for what is right in a society does wrong.

I’ve read this book multiple times and I absolutely adore it. I really appreciate how explicit the author kept the information, but in a way that we can really infer and analyze the text. You can debate about this book, which is very nice. It leaves a big mystery to it. Because in the text, there is no obvious conflict. I believe that the conflict was that all of the lessons about the world were not yet understood until the end of the book (the conclusion) where it is understood why you shouldn’t kill mockingbirds. I’ve never personally had a lesson at school on this (probably because I’m just in seventh grade), but I still love to read this book ever once in a while.

Thank you so much for this recap. I haven't touched or reviewed TKAM since my 9th grade year. Now I'm in my 11th grade year and my Advanced Placement English class is going back and reviewing the power and lessons provided by Harper Lee. You have helped me recap everything I have forgotten and learn more. Again, thanks and keep up the amazing work. Hopefully this video can help a future student much like myself acquire the same results as I.

The first time I read this book was on vacation. My dad took my phone because he didn’t want me looking at a screen the whole time and got me this book from a store across from the hotel we were staying at. I was pissed, so I decided not to read it out of pettiness, but boredom got the best of me. I started reading the book and I don’t know how much time had passed but when I finally looked up from reading, my dad had this smartass grin on his face and I couldn’t even be mad. I read the book for the entire trip back home and even after we got back. I eventually got my phone back, but I didn’t even look at it until I finished the book. If you haven’t read this book yet for yourself, go do that, I highly recommend it.

I read this book years ago when I was in Junior High (aka middle school). No one made me. I was spending a week at my grandmother's house and was very bored. She had a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird handy so I thought I would read it. It was very interesting to me and I did not put it down until I was done. I enjoyed the story but have to admit that I cannot say that I understood all the lessons that this video presents. I was pretty young, I was just a voracious reader. The movie is pretty faithful to the book so I would recommend the movie to those who have trouble reading this book. But I would encourage people to read the book if at all possible. It is a tale well told.

I was supposed to read To Kill A Mockingbird a few years back, but I had not yet learnt to properly analyse literature then, and could not fully comprehend and appreciate the themes and how Harper Lee brilliantly brings out her arguments and viewpoints on so many issues, packaged in such an easy-to-read narrative. Now I've just finished my A levels (had to read and analyse literature texts that are much tougher to read, like The Scarlet Letter) and found my copy of this book with some pages turning yellow as I had kept it in my drawers for years. It's amazing to finish reading this book, actually understand it, analyse and formulate my own opinions on this book with my greater ability to analyse literature now. I'm enjoying this subject even after my major exams have ended :)
