Answer 1

Answer 2

Great book. I'm really tired so I'm going to be brief, sorry.

There are many themes in the book.
How it's wrong to be prejudice.. how it's wrong to judge people.. how bravery is something that you start even if you know you won't complete it.. how you should give everybody equal opportunities... how racial prejudice is wrong... how you should respect people.. how soem things will never change.. etc etc.. too tired.
You'll find loads of examples through Atticus' teachings, Mrs Dubose, the mad dog, Boo, the different families, the court case. Atticus' final speech is worth reading again.

The title refers to the story because there was a quote in the book saying "it's a sin to kill a mockingbird".. the mockingbird related to Tom Robinson who was wrongly convicted because of the long history of racial prejudice in the town. Mockingbirds didn't do any harm to anyone, just as Tom didn't. The message was that you should respect decent people like Tom and he shouldn't have had to suffer because he was an honest, innocent man.

God, I'm tired.

1) There are many themes in the book, the one that comes to mind is about ignorance. Scout and Jem learned that many of the Maycombers were racist and wanted Tom Robinson to go to jail, knowing he didn't really rape Ms. Ewell. They simply did not know enough about Tom, so because he was black, they assumed the worst.

2) I believe the authors message is to treat everyone equally and not to treat any class of race higher than the other.

3) Atticus explains to the kids that killing a mockingbird is a sin because they only produce beautiful music and nothing else. They cause no harm and that's exactly the same as Tom Robinson. Being Tom's lawyer, Atticus gave enough talk about Mayella and Mr. Ewell lying to get Tom to jail and about his death in jail. Atticus knew Tom wasn't trying to escape out of jail and he surely didn't need 17 shots to die. It was a sin to kill Tom because he didn't do anything wrong, just like it is a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Answer 4

theme has something 2 do with this quote," you can shoot at all the bird you want but its a sin to kill a mikingbird. they do nothing except make beautiful music for us to listen to." sumtin like that. the title relates 2 the story because to kill a mockingbird is a sin and its also a sin to charge a man guilty just beacuse he is african american (accoridng to atticus) atticus beleives that every1 should have a fair trial. sumtin like dis. is read this book last year with the class. we started in jan. and never finished cuz of da TAKS test and its we talked about it and worked on it so0o0 much in class. good luck buddy. bueno bye.

Answer 5

The Book was written in the 60s about a period of time in 1930's America.

Read the first two chapters for the book and try to draw you own conclusions.

Answer 6

1) The theme is in the title. It gives instructions of how it should be done and then how to cook it.
2) The authors message is that it should be accompanied with a sweet and sour sauce.
3) Check 1).
4) How about reading the book instead of looking for the easy way out?

Answer 7

This will just annoy you, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

Get To Reading!

I teach college freshmen, and many of them are unable to read college-level texts, and so simply fail time and again. These are students who did just fine in high school, because they were able to slide by, but now they're failing and more than likely will continue to fail. The single most important thing any of them could have done to improve their chances of ending up with something better than a McDonald's job was to read books.

Answer 8

1&2 i have no idea but 3 is a line in the book. read it!!! you would get it

Answer 9

I love this book, and the nature of your question makes me think you did not read it when you were supposed to. Shame on you, if os, but please make sure you read it as it is one of the best books in American Culture.

1) The theme is tolerance and understanding, especially in the face of racial hatred and fear. The townsfolk's reaction to the crime when the main suspect is black and the victom white shows this. In addition the characte of Boo Radley shows this well in how Scout initially viewed him with fear and then he came to save her. There is also a strong pacifist message, not in terms of the naitonal scale, but on a personal level as Atticus shots a rapid dog, his skill as a deadshot beign unknown to his family as he is not a violent person.

2) The message is what I said in the theme, in that hatre, fear, and violence are signs of weakness in society, and true strength comes not from outward displays, but inward convictions.

3) In an anecdotal reference, Atticus tells Scout that he was told (his mother, I think) that it was a sin to kill a mockingbord, for it made beautiful music and nver did any harm to anyone. In much the same way, the character on trial for rape never hurt anyone, but the town has already made up their minds that he is guilty and should be hanged, mainly because he is black and is accused by a white girl.

I give you no more than that. Please read the book.
