While perusing To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, i’d realized most characters in books are made to be universally identifiable. I soon made the correlation that each character served as a specific archetype. The archetypes in this book, that personally seemed to protrude amongst the rest were, as follows: Bob Ewells, Calpurnia and Dill. Bob Ewells character was clearly meant to be despised by the reader. His nefarious nature sustained a sickening plot for this novel.
In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee used many literary techniques throughout the chapters. One technique she used is juxtaposition and occurred in part one, between chapters ten and eleven. Juxtaposition is a comparison tool, used by putting two things next to each other for comparison. Jem and Scout developed different views from chapter ten to eleven showed by this comparison. Harper Lee's decision to juxtapose the events which happen is chapter ten and eleven highlight the lesson they learn.

The novel To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is told from the perspective of Atticus Finch’s daughter Scout, who is very involved with the people of Maycomb. Many of the characters live a double life in order to fit in with their society. Double lives are shown in the lives of Arthur Radley, Calpurnia, and Atticus Finch. Each person’s life is different, but they all connect and are individually important. Firstly, Boo (Arthur) Radley shows in many ways that he lives a double life.
What is a metaphor? A metaphor is a thing regarded as symbolic or representative to something else. For example: “Stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning”(pg.6)Explanation This metaphor could mean a lot of different things and have many different meanings, one of the things it could stand for is maybe the weather melted the starch on the collars and they were literally wilted like they use it in the book.
Humanity, blinded by the harsh and cruel realities, we never truly see people or the world around us. In the impactful novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses Irony, Point of view, and Allegory to convey that we are blinded by prejudice which restricts us from “truly” seeing people. After the death for Bob Ewell, heck protects our “silent protector”.
Foreign Perception Sometimes we don’t take in effect the perception of others, and this causes views to be suppressed or distorted. In Harper Lee’s To kill a Mockingbird, we find several examples of these suppressed and distorted views.
"Character is doing the right thing when nobody 's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that 's right is to get by, and the only thing that 's wrong is to get caught", said JC Watts, an American politician. Yet many people seek opportunities to do what is right only when they think that someone else will view them favorably because of it; others conform to ideals they do not believe just so they can fit in with the group. A true hero is someone who always follows their morals, no matter what.
The 1960 hit novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” written by Harper Lee has many of the characters' own perspective on what happens around them, like most people do. But what is the meaning of perspective and what does this even have to do with the moral of the novel? Perspective is something that every living thing has, but even though people have their own perspective on things, Many people forget that once they get into an argument, the person on the other side has their own view of the situation at hand Perspective is a specific person or group of people’s view and feeling’s during or after an event happens that makes them question what they believe in morally. Harper Lee develops the theme of perspective over the course of the novel by giving many characters that end up having to change their perspective and belief on something that is occurring at that very moment, which is what happens to Dill during the Tom Robinson case.
Misunderstandings happened all the time in our everyday life, they can happen at school when learning , or simply if someone had told you something you couldn’t quite understand. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird misunderstandings happen frequently as it’s told from a child’s point of view, and usually children don’t understand most of what going on because they’re still learning. As this confusion carries on in the novel , there are specific characters that get misunderstood often, these characters are ; Dill, Boo Radley, and Miss. Caroline. When it comes down to misunderstanding you go a little too far to find out what you are trying to figure out and this is what happened to one of the characters. Dill is a young boy from Meridian, Mississippi who visits his aunt out in Maycomb in the summer.
To Kill a Mockingbird Essay The decision to choose a shirt in the morning, is very much different than the decision to convict a black man in the 1930’s. Nevertheless, they both directly relate to an individual’s perspective. An individual’s perspective is much more than just what you see, and it is shaped in many different ways.
Perception defines the world around you. It affects every aspect of your being: your thoughts, actions, beliefs, etc… In the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, Jean Louise “Scout” Finch begins to understand just how impactful perception can be as she witnesses the deterioration of the dignity of Tom Robinson, a black man who is being tried for the rape of a white girl. In this intriguing read, Harper Lee demonstrates the theme of inaccurate allegations very effectively. More specifically, when inaccurate allegations that are solely based on perceptions are presented, the consequences can be significant, for others may suffer at great lengths.
The Perspectives Perspective is an interesting thing. Perspective is how people view things differently. Such as war. Some people hate it because of all the violence and others believe it is needed and the world can’t work without it. Everyone has a different perspective on different things.
Who is the most important person to you in your life? Some people might say their significant other, or their best friend, or their children. But personally, and I believe for Scout and Jem, it is their mother. Or rather, at least in their case, their lack thereof. In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, we see a young girl, Scout, and her brother, Jem, try to navigate through their childhood in a small town in Alabama in the 1930s.
