While this book has some weaknesses in helping you select the direction you should go in, it is superb in helping you pursue your goals once they are set. The early chapters of the book focused on creating awareness to the idea that being truly successfully results from choosing a job that sparks passion, risk, and excitement in life. Combs gave excellent advice in aiding students to find what they are truly passionate about. While reading the sections that included reader interaction, such as pulling out a pen and jotting
He teaches Scout to look in Ms. Caroline’s point of view to better understand why she acted that way. Atticus enlightens us with the fact that we cannot know really what others feel like until they put themselves in someone else’s “skin and walk around in it” (Lee 30). “Atticus doesn’t ever just listens to Jem’s side of it, he hears [Scout’s side of it] too” (Lee 133). This proves that he doesn’t just look at one person’s view. He looks at everyone’s, and tries to be just in every way possible, even if it is just a small brawl between Jem and Scout.
Atticus takes it into his responsibility to protect someone he knows is an innocent, and he does it even though Tom’s a different color. Another theme was people often fear what they don’t understand. Throughout this story, Scout and her brother Jem try to find out about Boo Radley, Boo and his family were the outcasts of Maycomb. There were rumors of Boo, that he was crazy and locked up in the basement. Scout and Jem always tried to fool around by the Radley house, trying to see what he looks like.
I think this is a good novel and I like it so far, even though it has many foreign languages, like French, Japanese, it still makes the story good. And the speed goes well. It is an interesting concept that looks at the world of publishing as well as the world of self-help.The story is very realistic, it brings up several questions and it is an enjoyable read. It shows people what would happen in the event that a self-help book about finding happiness would really work. I especially like this quote from the book, “ The two most important phrases in the human language are ‘ If only’ and ‘Maybe someday’.
And cleverness! There are far more important things-- friendship and bravery” (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 287). This solidifies Hermione as the biggest role model throughout this book series. Hermione
It warms the heart of the reader and motivates them to do something to help the children that are being abused. The book shouldn’t be read by younger children or people who are easily grossed out by gory details because it’s a very graphic and disturbing book. If people can’t handle the graphic details, they should at least be told a summary of what the book is about and what happens to him and how he feels. David inspired me by showing that even a young child, incapable of caring for themselves, can get through horrible, life threatening incidences and grow up to be a successful, loving man. Next time I think I have a rough life, I can think about how he grew up, and gain the motivation I need to better my life and achieve my
Readers are very different; certain people prefer different genres of literature, such as action/adventure, romance, humor, and so on.

They act different.” The 4th Juror has similar beliefs to the 10th Juror: “This boy, let’s say he’s a product of a filthy neighbourhood and a broken home. We can’t help that. We’re here to decide whether he’s guilty or innocent of murder…He was born in a slum. Slums are breeding grounds for criminals…Children from slum backgrounds are potential menaces to society…” While a number of other Jurors don’t say it, the 4th Juror’s prejudice is a pervasive one. The 7th Juror prejudges the boy because of his record: “Look at his record.
Two main themes of the book are prejudice and injustice in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. But there are three more themes that a reader can dig out. They could be courage, growing up, or maturing, and the types of education. There are many characters who show the quality of courage in this book, especially Atticus. He accepts Tom Robinson’s case, even though he well knows that he will lose the fight, because of prejudice at the time.
That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.” (Maudie, 90). Maudie explains to Scout that killing a mockingbird is sinful because they are innocent creatures who do nothing to harm us. Boo Radley most represents the mockingbird and the theme ‘innocence should be treasured, not destroyed’. At first, Boo Radley appears to be big and scary. Stories went around about him, discriminating and degrading him, causing Boo to stay in his house and out of the public eye.
