    Literature Review Form to Kill a Mockingbird

    Southwest Licking School District Literature Selection Review Teacher: Paula Ball School: Watkins Memorial High School Book Title: To Kill a Mockingbird Genre: Fiction Author: Harper Lee Publisher: Warner Brothers Book Summary and summary citation: Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of 8-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus--three years punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Though her story explores big themes, Harper Lee chooses to tell it through the eyes of a child. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up. Instructional Rationale/Objectives: Read increasingly challenging texts, comparing these texts to previously read texts Identify, analyze, and evaluate persuasive techniques used in literature Review #1 Amazon.com Review Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of Her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding.

    Addition to Summer Letter

    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

    To Kill a Mockingbird Background Information Harper Lee Was An

    To Kill a Mockingbird Background Information Harper Lee was an American writer, famous for her race relations novel TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. The book became an international bestseller and was adapted into screen in 1962. Lee was 34 when the work was published, and it has remained her only novel. "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." Harper Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama. Her father was a former newspaper editor and proprietor, who had served as a state senator and practiced as a lawyer in Monroeville. Lee studied law at the University of Alabama from 1945 to 1949, and spent a year as an exchange student in Oxford University, Wellington Square. Six months before finishing her studies, she went to New York to pursue a literary career. During the 1950s, she worked as an airline reservation clerk with Eastern Air Lines and British Overseas Airways. In 1959 Lee accompanied Truman Capote to Holcombe, Kansas, as a research assistant for Capote's classic 'non-fiction' novel In Cold Blood (1966). To Kill a Mockingbird was Lee's first novel. The book is set in Maycomb, Alabama, in the 1930s. Atticus Finch, a lawyer and a father, defends a black man, Tom Robinson, who is accused of raping a poor white girl, Mayella Ewell.

But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. Angela’s Ashes Frank McCourt So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank’s mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank’s father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy — exasperating, irresponsible, and beguiling — does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father’s tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies. Buried Onions Gary Soto For Eddie there isn’t much to do in his rundown neighborhood but eat, sleep, watch out for drive-bys, and just try to get through each day. His father, two uncles, and his best friend are all dead, and it’s a struggle not to end up the same way.

    Finding Yourself Through Literature

    Finding Yourself through Literature OSHER 335-001 Dates: Wednesdays: January 13 – February 17 Time: 1:30 – 3:00 pm Location: Online via Zoom Instructor: Bill Hardesty Email: [email protected] Phone: 801.631.0594 Description: Have you ever wondered how much are you like Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird) or Tintin (Tintin in Tibet), or Celie (The Color Purple)? In this course, as we analyze great literary characters, we will always ask how much are we like and how much are we not? It will be a journey of self-discovery through the pages of literature. Expectations and Goals: • Students will develop a better concept of self by comparing themselves to great literary characters. • Students will develop practical analyzing skills by reading great literature. • Through group discussion, students will expand their viewpoint and help others to do the same. Teaching Style: I am a massive proponent of self-discovery as you prepare for class and discover through discussion in class. I ask lots of questions and enjoy hearing your thoughts, opinions, and challenges. Since this course is about finding yourself, I will often ask if you identify with a character and, more importantly, why or why not. Since class time is 90 minutes, I plan to leave the last 30 minutes to discuss other characters in these books or another book of your choosing. Required Course Materials: In most cases, you have read the books. However, I am asking you to exam the character and compare yourself to them. • Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird • Hergé, Tintin in the Tibet • Alice Walker, The Color Purple • Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory • J.D.
