Now that you've read much of To Kill a Mockingbird, I want you to consider several of the themes found in the book. Here's a list of some of the themes:
- education
- bravery vs. cowardice
- racial prejudice and civil rights
- peer pressure vs. invididuality
- good vs. evil
- true Christianity vs. hypocrisy
There may be some other themes too that you find that I have not listed. Identify two of the themes from the book and discuss them by summarizing two examples from the plot in which those themes are found (you will list two themes and four examples total). When you summarize the scenes, be sure to cite the chapters and page numbers (i.e. ch. 1, p. 3), and you may add quotations too if you like. Next, discuss how one of the themes relates to us today--this may be through your own personal experience or that of someone you know, or it may relate to a current event in the news. Last, quote a Bible verse that also relates to one of the themes and tell how it is applicable to our lives.
Remember to answer my questions and to respond to one other person during the week. Your postings are due by Friday, Nov. 16.
Here's some other ideas for you.
