i need to do a commentary on "to kill a mocking bird", by harper lee?

Question

please help me, as by giving me a topic to focus upon. please frame the question in such a way that i can talk about it for 10-15 minutes. i tried many topics but they hardly come up to 5-8 minutes

Answer 1

A few minutes describing the setting and the plot. A few minutes describing the dilemma of a black defendant facing the courts in a southern backwater community in the fifties. A few minutes discussing the dilemma of a lawyer in that town committed to doing what is right, and a few minutes discussing the outcome. Talk about it on tape first, adding and subtracting from different portions of the speech. You can't do it without reading and thinking about, really absorbing, the book, and really preparing and practicing the speech. If you don't do that, no advice can help you.

Answer 2

Growing up and coming of age among the pre-conceptions and bias of the South of the 20's - 50's (I forget the era of the book - sorry).

If you have not seen the movie.. or read the book.. watch and then re-read the last paragraph..therein lies an alternate topic about love and understanding.

Answer 3

The book is told from Scout's point of view. As a child she does not understand many of the events. Since she recalls the story as an adult, it is told from a fascinating perspective. The narration shows her childhood naivete. You can spend all day analyzing the POV
