Thoughts about the book
To kill a Mockingbird was a really amazing and great book to read and when I finally picked it up I could not put it down. ...
To Kill a Mockingbird is a profound novel and the theme of the book is racism and prejudice. ...

Analysis
The title: To kill a Mockingbird
Harper Lee chose to call the book "To Kill A Mockingbird," although there is only one direct quote made by Atticus relating to the Mockingbird "Shoot all the bluejays you can, but remember its a sin to kill a mockingbird". ... A mockingbird can be defined as a bird that is very innocent, harmless and that does nothing but singing. ... Tom Robinson is a mockingbird because he hasnt done anything apart from being a good, christian citizen always willing to work and help people and the only thing that he is quilty of was feeling sorry for Mayella but the all-white jury “kill” by convicting him for rape; in other words, they kill a mockingbird, hence the title. ... That would destroy the whole amusement of reading to kill a mockingbird and I think that most of their thoughts are easy to find out by your own. ...
To kill a mockingbird illustrates that prejudice is something very common in the society, that people have preconceived thoughts about each other only because of diverse looks and skin colours.
