Similarities Between Solitude And To Kill A Mockingbird
There are several differences and similarities between the representation of life in both Solitude, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and To Kill a Mockingbird. First and foremost, a similarity between To Kill a Mockingbird’s representation of life and Solitude’s representation is how everyone will die alone. Ella Wheeler Wilcox writes, “But one by one we must all file on through the narrow aisles of pain”. This symbolically represents that we must all eventually die alone. This is very similar to, To Kill a Mockingbird’s representation, as Harper Lee writes, “Mrs. Dubose lived alone except for a Negro girl in constant attendance”. Both mediums represent that dying alone is an aspect of life, therefore, they both share a similarity. Secondly, another

    In the book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird” by “Harper Lee” there were many characters that the movie that was released shortly the book was published and became a best seller. After reading the book, and then watching the movie, I have made some observations on what characters were not mentioned or described in the movie and what bits and plots were not there. To start off with characters, I noticed that there were to characters that were dropped from the book and were not included in the movie remake. There was Uncle Jack and Dolphus Raymond. There are many scenes that I realize are missing in the movie remake of the book “ To Kill a Mockingbird”. For starters, I realize that you never see scouts teacher Mrs. Caroline. In chapter 2 in the novel, you are introduced to Mrs. Caroline and the Cunningham family when scout had to explain to Mrs. Caroline about Walter. Mrs. Caroline asked if Walter Cunningham wanted money for lunch because he had none and Scout was the only student that could explain how the Cunningham family doesn’t borrow or take money from any family or person.…

As demonstrated by Atticus Finch and Mrs Dubose in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the development of courage gives the character’s strength and courage to hold their heads high, while fearing none. Harper Lee depicts the theme of courage incalculable amount of times, detailing courage as “ when you know you’re licked before you being, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.” (Chapter 11, Page 124) All of the characters have an alternate kind of perspective of what courage is exactly, which will be examined in depth.…

    he case of Tom Robinson in the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” and the report of Emmett Till are very similar, and in some cases quite different.

    “The tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we are living”. I learned about two admirable stories one was non-realistic and the other was realistic(true story). They are very similar to each other, the first one is a novel called To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee about a man named Tom Robinson who was on trial for being accused of raping a white woman. The second story was a documentary called Scottsboro: An American Tragedy about nine men accused the same crime. Racism is the main point in both of these devastating stories. I believe that racism is the reason why they are suffering this same tragedy.…

Many have addressed the subject of racial injustice, but did not have an impact like Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird”.…
