damn fine job. He taught his kids the right thing, that all individuals are created equal. If Aunt Alexandria had raised Scout and Jem, they might have not cried at the end of the trial; they would not want to hurt the Finch family reputation. It was Atticus who received a standing ovation from the Black’s Balcony. It is because of Atticus’ good heart that Cal’s black church accepted the children. Atticus has probably built a better name for his family than Aunt Alexandria would have, had she lived with the Finches. Before reading To Kill a Mockingbird, the title itself means nothing. The title is the foundation of a house. It is just a slob of cement, and cannot be interpreted. While reading the book, pieces of wood fit together and the house starts to stand up. After

reading the book, the house is fully painted and decorated. The landscaping is complete, and the house is beautiful. Several things and people represent the “Mockingbird” throughout the novel. The understanding of the “Mockingbird” can bee seen in three steps. The first step is in chapter 10. Atticus tells Jem to never shoot a mockingbird, because it causes no harm. At this point, neither Jem nor Scout understand what Atticus is saying. Secondly, Scout finds a roly-poly in chapter 25. In answer to Scout’s desire to kill the bug, Jem says, “Because they don’t bother you?” (241). At this second stage, Jem, not yet Scout, has understood Atticus’ holy words. The last depiction is in the final chapters of the book. This “Mockingbird” is Arthur “Boo” Radley.

Boo ends up to save both Jem and Scout’s lives, by killing Bob Ewell. At this final stage in the book, Scout, as well as Jem, understands Atticus and his saying. Scout realizes life. To Kill a Mockingbird is a very inspirational book. Not only is it a book for pleasure, it shows us today how far we have come, and yet the long journey ahead. Boo Radley and Atticus were very important characters, for both the developments of kids in the book and reader. The title is something that can be interpreted in many ways. Each one will be different, based on the reader’s philosophy and beliefs. d
