The author in To Kill a Mockingbird uses imagery and great specifics and details to create a setting that we can clearly picture in our minds. The author uses several consecutive pages of description. The main symbol of the book is the title. To Kill a Mockingbird represents destroying innocence. a Mockingbird symbolizes innocence. One of the conflicts in To Kill a Mockingbird was Scout already knew how to read and write and Miss Caroline is very displeased and makes Scout feel guilty for being educated. The conflict between Miss Caroline and Scout was not resolved. The situation is made intense when Miss Caroline punishes scout for informing her about Walter Cunningham's situation. The overall tone of the first few chapters is kind of low key and gloomy especially since we are introduced to the radleys. If one of the characters was in our literature circles they would act more biased towards their point of view in the book. scout, dill and jem are scared of boo because of what others have said and apparently its not "right" to take your opinion from someone elses. Sometimes it feels necessary too though. if you have to hate someone and look down upon them and not associate with them because if you do then you get looked down upon from parents and other seniors then your obviously are not gonna take the scenario with a grain of salt. you are going to take it like it is and believe and agree with everyone elses opinions. In our literature circle there was very few "personal expieriences" this book is awful to "connect" to.
