to kill a mocking bird..what are the points of views of the characters about the trial?
448172
Dill has a completely different point of view from the other characters because he is not from Maycomb.  He is an outsider, like Dolphus Raymond (check out the scene during the trial when the two of them talk for ideas), so Dill sees things from a more objective perspective than Scout and Dill.  \nHe also has more life experience than the other kids and is more cynical than them, so he is able to see the trial from a view point that is more akin to Atticus's.  One of the things that he's especially bothered about in the trial is how the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Gilmer, treats Tom Robinson on the stand- he calls Tom names like "boy" and refers to him as a "big buck" or an animal.  Dill sees that these are offensive and racist and he understands that Tom is not getting a fair trial.  He cries because of this and also because most of the other people in the audience do not even blink when Tom is so mistreated.  He is saddened by the world and not at all surprised when Tom is found guilty.

Other characters\nAunt Alexandra is Atticus’ proper sister, who came to live with them to make a lady out of the tomboy Scout and restore proper Southern order to their home.\n\n_________________________________________________________\n\nIn these chapters, prejudice comes to the forefront in numerous ways. Aunt Alexandra refuses to allow Scout to visit Calpurnia because young white girls don’t spend time in black people’s neighborhoods, and definitely not inside their houses. In fact, Aunt Alexandra thinks that Atticus should terminate Calpurnia’s employment with the family. Significantly, Atticus defends Calpurnia, saying, “‘I don’t think the children have suffered one bit from her having brought them up. If anything, she’s been harder on them in some ways than a mother would’ve been.’” If the thought hasn’t occurred to readers by now, they’re confronted with the fact that for all the prejudices African Americans endure, Atticus has allowed a black woman to raise his children, and in fact, sees this woman as “a faithful member of this family.” Atticus’ attitude is certainly atypical of the Maycomb majority.\n\nAtticus’s attitude toward African Americans is further exposed the morning after he faces the mob at the jailhouse. Aunt Alexandra chastises him for remarking that Mr. Underwood “despises Negroes” in front of Calpurnia. But characteristically, Atticus responds, “‘Anything fit to say at the table’s fit to say in front of Calpurnia.’” Aunt Alexandra is afraid that the black community will gossip about the white community, but Atticus proclaims that maybe the white community shouldn’t give them so much to gossip about. While Alexandra worries about appearances, Atticus constantly reminds her of reality.\n\nIn the American South during the 1930s, segregation was not only the norm, it was the law. Blacks were given special places to sit, they often used separate entrances, and they used separate restrooms and drinking fountains. The fact that blacks can’t sit on the main floor of the courtroom or that they have to let all the white people into the courthouse before they can begin going in themselves, is an accurate description of what would’ve happened at such a trial. When Reverend Skyes offers the children a seat in the “Colored balcony,” they happily and naively accept. They have no idea that they’re breaking a cultural taboo. Many whites would miss the trial before they would sit amongst people of another race. Ironically, Scout feels like they have a better view from the balcony than they would from the floor—unfortunately, what they’re going to see won’t be pretty. Significant, too, is that four black people rose to give the minister and three white children their front-row seats. Some would argue that they gave up their seats out of respect for Reverend Skyes; others may say that they gave up their seats out of respect for Atticus. In truth, they would be expected to give up their seats for any white person who wanted them.\n\nLee introduces an interesting discussion of what makes a person a member of one race or another through the character of Dolphus Raymond—a white man, rumored to be a drunkard, with biracial children. Worse than being black is being “mixed.” Children who are part of both races “don’t belong anywhere. Colored folks won’t have ‘em because they’re half white; white folks won’t have ‘em ‘cause they’re colored, so they’re just in-betweens, don’t belong anywhere.”\n\nWhen Jem points out some biracial children, Scout can’t tell that they’re “mixed” and wonders, then, how Jem knows that they aren’t also mixed. Jem has discussed this topic with Uncle Jack, who says that they may have some black ancestors several generations back. Somewhat relieved, Scout determines that after so many generations, race doesn’t count, but Jem says, “‘around here once you have one drop of Negro blood, that makes y

Holden feels misunderstood by his family and peers. He doesn't blindly follow a script for how to live and believes that people who do are "phonies". \n\nHe has also lost a brother and is still angry and grieving over his loss. He sort of retreats into solitude to avoid being mocked, excluded and hurt by those around him.\n\nA sad story, but a wonderful book. :)

Well, I don't remember if Scout actually had a fantasy about Boo Radley.\n\nAnd about Miss Gates. The book tells us that she's racist because of how she was talking about black people during the Tom Robinson trial. And while she was asking the class about democracy, she started to write the word "democracy" backwards, refering to the backwardness of the town, I think.

1)  Old Major warns, "Your resolution must never falter.  No argument must lead you astray.  Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest....we must not come to resemble him...No animal must ever live in a house or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade." \n\n\n2)  Orwell narrates, "Nobody stole, nobody grumbled over his rations, the quarreling and biting and jealousy which had been normal features of life in the old days had almost disappeared." \n\n\n3)  Squealer consoles the animals, saying, "Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure.   On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility.  No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal.  He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves.    But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?"  The classic hypocrisy seen here is too hard to miss.  \n\n\n4)  Orwell explains, "Once again the animals were conscious of a vague uneasiness.  Never to have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money— had not these been among the earliest resolutions passed at the first triumphant Meeting when Jones was expelled?”  \n\n\n5)  As Napoleon was deceiving the neighboring farmers he was also tricking his own animals.  The scapegoat was again Snowball.  "Whenever anything went wrong it became usual to attribute it to Snowball."  In fact many of the claims begin to sound ridiculous to the objective mind.  Of course, Squealer's mission is to keep everything subjective in the minds of the animals. \n\n\n6)  So Napoleon, with the help of his dogs, slaughters anyone who is said to be disloyal.     "...the tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones."  To top it off, Napoleon outlaws Beasts of England, which had served as one of the only remaining ties between Animal Farm and old Major.  \n\n\n7)  But when Muriel reads the writing on the barn wall to Clover, interestingly, the words are, "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause." \n\n\n8)  But to justify this little episode, arrangements to amend the rules are made.  "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess."  \n\n\n9)  Orwell states, "Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer— except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs."  \n\n\n10)  The 7 Commandments are abridged for the last time, simply reading, "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."\n\nThese can all be related to the metaphors that the book embrases

The themes are honesty, bravery, courage, and standing up for what you believe is right.\n\nAtticus Finch knows that he is going to lose his trial for Tom Robinson. However, he doesn't let that stop him from fighting for what he knows is right. This shows his courage, because he faces physical danger and social danger as well from the citizens of Maycomb, AL. \n\nThere aren't many symbols in this book, but Mr. Ewell represents the poor South- an uneducated, bigoted mass of people. Men like Underwood and Heck Tate represent the South's prospects of a better future. They help Atticus and are willing to change.

That poem rocks.  I know that it is controversial.  I would be interested to see what people thought of a choice line or two from the poem.

It means to kill a mocking bird and how you do it

Well, you are probably going to choose the first answer but I'll try anyway.  Perhaps one of the most life changing quotes in the book is on page 30, where Atticus teaches Scout that just because someone's different, you must think about their life before you judge them.  This lesson can be applied throughout the book.  There are a lot of racist times where this lesson is not being followed, especially in the Tom Robinson case.  Good luck!

Theme Analysis \n\n\nAlice Walker depicts Zora Neale Hurston's work as providing the \nAfrican-American literary community with its prime symbol of "racial health - a sense of black people as complete, complex, undiminished human beings" (190). Appropriately, Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937, provides an enlightening look at the journey of one of these undiminished human beings, Janie Crawford. Janie's story - based on principles of self-exploration, self-empowerment, and self-liberation - details her loss and subsequent attainment of her innocence, as she constantly learns and grows from her difficult experiences with gender issues \nand racism in Their Eyes Were Watching God. \n\nAfter joyfully discovering an archetype for sensuality and love under the pear tree at age sixteen, Janie quickly comes to understand the reality of marriage when she marries Logan Killicks, then Joe Starks. Both men attempt to coerce Janie into submission to them by treating her like a possession: where Killicks works Janie like a mule, Joe objectifies her like a medal around his neck. In addition, Janie learns that passion and love are tied to violence, as Killicks threatens to kill her, and both Joe and Tea Cake beat her to assert their dominance. Yet Janie continually struggles to keep her inner Self intact and strong, remaining resilient in spite of her husbands' \nphysical, verbal, and mental abuse. Janie's resilience is rewarded when she finally meets and marries Tea Cake, who represents the closest semblance to her youthful idealism regarding love and marriage. \nAnother male figure playing prominently in Janie's life is the white man who raped her grandmother; her lineage determines, therefore, that Janie will look whiter than other black women. This fair complexion eventually attracts the ambitious Joe Starks, yet also contributes to Joe's objectification of Janie. Yet, outward appearances aside, Janie's identity takes shape in response to the white male tyranny that made her own birth possible. \n\nFor example, Janie's husband Jody paints his house "a gloaty, sparkly white," (44) humiliates the citizens of Eatonville in similar ways as the white man would, and forces Janie into the slavish servitude reflected by the identity-confining head rag he makes her wear (51). Yet, Janie fights Joe's tyranny by telling him off just before he dies in Chapter Eight, then reclaims her own identity by burning up "every one of her head rags" (85). Similarly, Janie encounters Mrs. Turner, Hurston's symbol of internalized racism, who doesn't "blame de white folks from hating [African-Americans] 'cause Ah can't stand 'em mahself" (135). Again, however, Janie remains true \nto herself as she continues to form her own identity by refusing to leave Tea Cake and class off as Mrs. Turner suggests. \n\nRather than self-destruct under the constant realities of racism and misogyny she receives throughout her life, Janie Crawford does the opposite at the close of Their Eyes Were Watching God. The novel's final image states what Janie does throughout the story - taking her difficult past in and growing stronger and wiser as a result of it. Author Zora Neale Hurston believed that freedom "was something internal….The man himself must make his own emancipation" (189). Likewise, in her defining moment of identity formation, Janie "pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see" (184). At the end of a novel focusing on self-revelation and self-formation, Janie survives with her soul - made resilient by continual struggle - intact.
