The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which is one of the best books, is filled with incredible connections and fantastic foreshadowing. Once you get this book, you will need the key to be able to dissect it to unlock its full potential. Over the course of the three-and-a-half-year journey that is To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee takes Jeremy Atticus Finch and Jean Louise Finch through a never-ending pile of events. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is about Jem and Scout Finch and their childhood in Maycomb, Alabama. Their lives consist of an endless chain of events, many interesting and unique people, and life lessons that give Jem, Scout, and Atticus a new view of the world. Few people have actually seen and experienced Tom Robinson and Arthur "Boo" Radley, leading to incorrect ideas about each character. Tom and Boo have a lot of good in them. They are both like Mockingbirds because they are both innocent humans hurt by the evil of humanity. In Harper Lee's novel, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are both innocent characters, but Boo's kindness is hidden by rumors and Tom's generosity is hidden by stereotypes. Both Tom and Boo are portrayed and interpreted incorrectly because some people have never seen them, and most people base their assumptions on rumors and stereotypes. There are many incidents in To Kill a Mockingbird where this is obvious. The first place this is obvious is early in the book, Dill asks what Boo looks like and Jem describes Boo as: “About six and a half feet tall, judging by his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and every cat he could catch, that's why his hands were stained with blood - if you ate a raw animal you could never wash the blood off...... middle of paper......black and makes their helpless hurt Tom Robinson this time because even though Atticus has torn the Ewells to such an extent that they are not even asked the truth, Tom Robinson is still a black man in a Jim Crow South and his word is against that of two white people. word. And finally, instead of being rewarded for his help, he gets shot. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are both treated poorly because of rumors and stereotypes. These two characters have all of this in common but the ultimatum is that Boo is mostly the subject of rumors because of his immaturity and a wacky father, but Tom is treated poorly because of his race. But the characters are united in a way that would and should never be desired by one person. And, in a way, Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are both like Mockingbirds and it's a sin to do what was done to them..
