The Twisted World In Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird'

Scout’s Twisted World What would a person do if they thought they had the whole world figured out, and the world flipped upside down? In To Kill Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout Finch experienced that at such a young age, so she had to put her world back together with the only way she knew how: lesson by lesson, year by year, and with the only few people that she would come into her life. The world is a terrible place for a child; however, she learned a lot of good lessons prematurely such as how to be a lady in tough times, to have empathy and understanding for Boo Radley, how to find mockingbirds in a hate filled world, and finally how to walk in other people's shoes.

To start us off, being a girl back in the 1930’s was excruciatingly difficult

To add on, they just need

To prove my point, Jem realizes the hatred towards Boo and explains it to Scout, “Scout, I think I’m beginning to understand something. I think the reason why Boo Radley’s stayed shut inside his house all the time. . . it’s because he wants to stay inside” (192) As a matter of fact, Scout understood that a little bit when Jem said this, but she doesn’t just learn it from Boo; She also realizes it from Tom Robinson’s case. In addition, being just innocent doesn’t make you a mockingbird it is when hatred of other people “shoots” the innocent, and are persecuted for something that is unjust. However, this can be prevented Heck Tate did when he persisted that Bob Ewell fell on his knife while leaving Atticus in the dark, but Scout understood and made the simile, “Well it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird wouldn’t it?”(323) In more detail, Boo was used to being all alone and if everyone knew that he killed Bob he would get a lot of bad publicity, and Heck along with Scout knew that Boo couldn’t live through that. In conclusion, hatred is a disease that spreads like a wildfire killing innocent mockingbirds, which can only be put out by peace and
