To Kill a Mocking Bird, a novel by Harper Lee, holds 284 pages which contain the memories of Jean Louise Finch. Known by the name Scout in her childhood, she and her family face the evilest creature in all of town, racism. When Scout’s father, a lawyer named Atticus, defends a black man named Tom Robinson, she and her brother, Jem, are teased openly. Later, after Tom is killed by a prison guard, Jem and Scout were attacked by the man who had framed Tom and sent him to jail. Honor was a main theme in this book since Atticus was determined to help Tom though it angered most of the town.
Atticus showed honor, a main theme in the book, when helping the black man though it angered most of the town. Jem showed honor when Atticus was at the jail protecting Tom and he chose to stay. At first, Scout was honorable to her father’s request to not fight with boys anymore. Jem showed honor when he and Scout were attacked and he just wanted to get them home safely. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great literature and wants to know what life was like back in the Great Depression.
