To Kill A Mockingbird Microcosm Analysis

498 Words2 Pages

Prior to my perspective of the author Harper Lee who presents an unusual narrator in her book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. The narration is first person point of view with the character ‘Scout’. The child and the adult narrating the story is quite fascinating to me yet engages me of Scout’s gradual formulation, while it precludes bias and cultural conditioning.which is two serious blinders to objective judgments. So, with her perception, She has shown in the novel, the microcosm of the Maycomb society through her unknowing perspective and which leads to her perceptual growth as Scout innocently repeats what she has seen and heard by learning along the way, the implications of what she had said and, the formulating in her mind things as they should be realistically. …show more content…

My thoughts on Boo radley giving gift that would turn up in the Radley trees for the kids was quite creepy and curious as to why he would do that. Until Atticus the father of Scout and Jem proves that Tom Robinson is innocent and Bob Ewell beat Mayella, but the all white jury finds Tom guilty and he dies trying to escape. So later on Bob Ewell threatens Atticus and attacks Scout and Jem on their way home one evening. Boo Radley appears and kills Bob Ewell, and saves the children. My thoughts as i described him as Creepy before, Had changed my whole perception of him because I knew he was just looking out for Scout and Jem. I felt that he was a good person at heart and by saving their lives made me realised how incredible he is.And got thinking the famous quote” never judge a book by it’s cover”. And showed me the true meaning to this very famous quote and overall i’ll give this novel a 10/10 through the remorse shown from Boo Radley and scout perspective of ‘to Kill a Mockingbird’. I think the author Harper-lee tells her remarkable story as that is her telling her story based on her childhood of growing up in

To Kill A Mockingbird Dialectical Journal Chapter 1

449 Words | 2 Pages

6/24, Chapter One: As the book begins, the readers are introduced to Scout, and her knowledge of Maycomb. I noticed how Scout’s narration sounded; she is telling the story as an adult but from a five year old’s point of view during the book, but her narrative included complex words such as “imprudent” (5) and “domiciled” (10), which is unlike what a child would say. Harper Lee uses the unique narration so that Scout would be able to provide background and context to Maycomb, but also so that readers would be able to see how Scout reacted and felt about the events in the book, and how it impacted her life growing up. Scout also used description and imagery as she told the story, which I found intriguing, since children don’t usually care for description and see things simplistically.
