To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, narrates an unbiased, non-filtered, and innocent viewpoint from that of Scout Finch. If the novel were rewritten from another’s perspective (such as Jem’s or Atticus’), the main concept of the book would be altered.

TKAM: Atticus To Kill A Mockingbird is a fictional novel written by Harper Lee that takes place in Maycomb, AL 1930s with scout who is the narrator. During the beginning she was very nonthoughful about what she did. Later she changes the way she acts towards other like she didn't get in a fight when they kept calling her dad a niggerlover.

In “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, children Jem and Scout Finch live in Maycomb County, Alabama, surrounded by a complex cast of characters that are prone to bigotry, greatly shaping the ideals and morals of the two as they mature.

For some reason the sheriff wants Atticus to shoot the dog, and that seemed fairly odd to Scout and Jem because they thought their father didn’t know how to. Atticus finally took the gun and walked cautiously to the middle of the street. He then raised the gun and pulled the trigger. Atticus hit the dog right between they eyes. Scout and Jem were shocked when they found out that their father was One Shot Finch.
In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, bluejays, mockingbirds, and finches are all mentioned. As Atticus says, each bird has its own unique purpose or song, just like people do. As the title suggests, mockingbirds are innocent creatures and it is a sin to kill them for a personal gain. People can be compared to mockingbird because people can be killed spiritually, physically or emotionally. Three people from the book that come to my mind as mockingbirds that sing their own unique song are Atticus Finch, Boo Radley, and Scout Finch.
Atticus does not like to impress people. He’s not like Aunt Alexander, how she likes to brag about everything. Atticus likes to keep it to himself. Finally Jem was embarrassed to be like his dad, but that has all changed. Jem did not know much about his dad he thought he was old and could not do anything.
