Answer 1

The theme is good versus evil. Discuss how the innocence of people are lost except how Scout's stays true. Also disscus how Boo and Tom Robinson are like innocence because nobody knows much about them but they are thought to be evil.

Answer 2

[edit] Literary significance & criticism
Truman Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of this novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person – Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's – has gone on record as believing his assertions were true. However, Capote would likely have been much more aggressive in claiming credit for the novel's Pulitzer Prize had he been the real author, since he never achieved a Pulitzer for his own work. His persona was far more flamboyant than Lee's, and their writing styles reflect this difference. A letter (dated July 9, 1959) from Capote to his aunt indicates that Harper Lee did indeed write the entire book herself [1]. However, in one respect, his influence on the work is inescapable: he was the model for the major character of Dill.

Additionally, To Kill a Mockingbird is number 41 on the American Library Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000
Trivia
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis named their daughter Scout after Jean Louise Finch.
American actor Jake Gyllenhaal named his German Shepherd Atticus and his Puggle Boo Radley after characters from the novel.
The city of Monroeville, Alabama was the author's birthplace and is believed to be the source of the setting of "Maycomb" for the book; the town promotes itself as such.
In the book Dill's aunt is called Miss Rachel Haverford and the town gossip is Miss Stephanie Crawford, whereas in the film version Miss Stephanie Crawford is the name of Dill's aunt.
In the 1990s, there was a hiphop artist named Tequila Mockingbird.
The Boo Radleys, a British rock band of the 1990s, took their name from the character in the book.

Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields, 2006

the book is appropriate for students in that it gets them to THINK about the injustices and relationships of society. Students are the professionals and adults of the future so it is important to teach them about the evolution of race behaviour so that we as a society don't go backward in time and become closed minded fools.

Answer 3

I won't write anything for you, but say that it's appropriate for a high school student because many high school students experience the same kind of discrimination or see it happening to others, the same as with the characters in the book. Not just racial discrimination, but also discrimination towards people in other financial situations.

Answer 4

Stop asking people to do your work do you want to be treated like the Blacks in the old South. You want to be ignorant then do but don't broadcast that want to the world.

I think that you answer your question in your question reread your first paragraph. Also invest in a Dictionary and pay attention to your English teacher about spelling.
