To Kill a Mockingbird is a Sin To take the life of something or someone harmless is not only a sin, it’s a crime. Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, was published in 1960, at the very height of a national civil rights crisis in the United States, as a political statement, so that she could share her experiences and perhaps help us to “walk in another man’s shoes“ before judging him.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee tells the story of Tom Robinson. A black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, Mayela Ewell, through the eyes of Atticus’ daughter Scout. Atticus Finch chooses to take his case and defend him. Although the case was lost from the beginning, Atticus masterfully used logos, pathos and ethos in an attempt to win over the jury so they would declare him innocent. Atticus used logos to attempt at logically convincing this racist jury that there was no way Mr. Robinson could have committed the rape.
After the murder, Neff begins to care about what might happen to Lola, Mr.Dietrichson’s daughter, both of whose parents have been murdered. Neff is also worried about Keyes, the determined manager of the claims office, whom we later discover he is confessing to on the Dictaphone. Later, in a confrontation between Phyllis and Walter, she shoots him in the chest, but he has the strength to shoot and kill her. Neff goes back to the office, wounded and confesses what happened through the Dictaphone. In the majority of noir films, the femme fatale remains committed to her independence, rarely allowing herself to be converted by the hero or captured by the police (Blaser).

It began with To Kill a Mockingbird because the council believed that it would help many people to view segregation in a different light (Daley 2001) To Kill a Mockingbird is narrated by a young girl named Scout Finch. She is at the age where she still has imaginary adventures with her big brother, Jem, and her friends. When her father, a lawyer named Atticus, begins a trial with a black man, she can’t understand what people have against him. In one line Jem says, “If there’s one kind of folks, why can’t they just get along with each other? If they’re all alike why do they go out of the way just to despise each other?” (Daley 2001) (Lee 1960) The purpose of “One Book, One Chicago” was to help people understand exactly what Jem said, “If everyone’s alike, why can’t they just get along?” Many stories appeared of people sitting on buses or in parks that just started a conversation with their neighbor because they saw that they were also reading the book.
The specific idea for “Trifles” came from a murder trial Glaspell was assigned to cover as a newspaper reporter. (Evans) The main character of the play, although not present, is Minnie Wright, the wife accused of murdering her husband with a rope.

The plot turns to discover a motive for the murder and Mrs. Wright is in jail as the prime suspect.
