To Kill A Mockingbird
|
|
By Harper Lee
|
|
|
|
|
|
To Kill a Mockingbird left a lasting impression on me. At the time it
|
|
was written, it must have been looked down upon as a piece of literature
|
|
since there was so much hatred towards negroes in the 1950's that no one
|
|
could probably realize the unjustified prejudice against them. It
|
|
especially deals with how the main character, Atticus Finch, deals with the
|
|
controversy surrounding his actions and how he tries to shelter his family
|
|
from it.
|
|
|
|
The book's climax, where it is brought to a final solution, takes place
|
|
at the trial. A woman named Mayella Ewell, accuses a black man named of
|
|
Tom Robinson of rape. In truth, these claims are false, but she knows she
|
|
can get away with it, since the people in those days had the utmost respect
|
|
for white women, and black men were looked down upon as still being slaves,
|
|
even if they weren't in shackles. The main character, Atticus Finch,
|
|
defends Tom in the whole case. He comes under fire and is commonly known
|
|
in the neighborhood as a "Nigger lover" for defending Tom, and his
|
|
children's friends make fun of them at school since their father is
|
|
defending Tom. Atticus tries his best to be a fair lawyer like he always
|
|
was, and knows that Tom didn't commit the rape. The trial comes around,
|
|
and Mayella Ewell is very confident she will win the case because if her
|
|
standing in society as a respectable woman who would never lie over her
|
|
honor. When it comes time for Atticus to question Mayella, he proves that
|
|
indeed Tom couldn't have committed the rape. Mayella is silent, and then
|
|
the jury leaves to come up with a verdict. Although they know Tom was
|
|
innocent, the case now becomes a trial of honor; of whom to say is wrong.
|
|
When they come back, they find Tom guilty. He is sentenced to be hung, and
|
|
it is carried out. Thus ends the climax, but not the moral. Afterward,
|
|
Mayella's father, Bob Ewell guarantees revenge against Atticus for having
|
|
proved her daughter a liar. As Atticus' children are walking home from the
|
|
Halloween pageant, they realize they are being followed and soon they are
|
|
attacked. The next thing they know is that they are being carried home,
|
|
and Jem has a broken arm and Scout a couple of bruises. In Jem's sick
|
|
room, Scout notices the presence of the man who carried Jem home and
|
|
discovers that the man is Boo Radley, a mysterious next-door neighbor who
|
|
they never really talked to but know he is a very friendly person by the
|
|
way he leaves candy for them on the way to school in a hollow tree outside
|
|
his house. She later realizes that he had saved their lives. She accepts
|
|
him as a friend and tells Atticus that he is "Real nice." Atticus agrees
|
|
and reminds her that most people are when you get to know them.
|
|
|
|
I enjoyed reading this book, and if nothing else it opened my eyes to
|
|
the common prejudices that still exist in today's society. The book
|
|
derives its name from when Scout, who serves as the narrator, and her older
|
|
brother Jem when they both receive air rifles for Christmas. They are
|
|
given specific instructions never to kill a mockingbird because it sings
|
|
beautiful songs and does no damage to anyone. I realized that this can be
|
|
contrasted from the plot of the book, when Atticus defends Tom.
