The Last Song of InnocenceEssay Preview: The Last Song of InnocenceReport this essayMankind has always been fascinated by symbolism and comparison. Many novels and plays have significant symbols which represent different aspect of a human life. In the book by Harper Lee, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, the title has a very symbolic meaning. In this context, a mockingbird represents innocence since this type of bird do not harm you in anyway; they only “sing their heart out for you” 1. In this story, several citizens innocence is shattered by evil, hence the title “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are the most significant form of innocence being destroyed by prejudice or simply evilness.
Tom Robinson is the main example of this morally incorrect behaviour. He was accused of raping Mayella Ewell. This was obviously not true and during his trial even the jury understood what had truly happened. But Tom Robinson was convicted guilty although the evidence could easily prove the opposite. Why? Because he is black; the prejudice and racist community did not allow a black man to win a trial against a white person. He was clearly innocent but was sent to jail and later killed for crimes he never committed. “Mockingbirds dont do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . Thats why its a sin to kill a mockingbird.” 2. If killing something as innocent as a mockingbird is a sin, then killing an innocent man such as Tom Robinson because of his black origins also is.
However, Tom Robinson is not the only one who falls victim to this cruelty; Arthur “Boo” Radley is another character who can be considered as a “mockingbird”. He is unfairly considered like an evil person and feared by all in Maycomb. Women and children are terrorized by him and picture him as a tall, evil looking man who eats raw squirrels and cats. Furthermore, at a young age, Arthur was victim of his fathers heartless wrath. For many years Boo was unjustly locked up in his house, unable to interact with the rest of society. When Heck Tate declares that he will not arrest Boo for the murder of Bob Ewell, Atticus asked Scout if she understood the reason for this seemingly dishonest decision. “. . .itd be sort of like shooting a mockingbird wouldnt it?” 3 , she replied. Boo is compared to a gentle bird and it would be a sin to arrest him for the murder of Robert Ewell. Tom Robinsons case may be compelled by complex
”. •. ……………………… ……………………………………………………… ………… A case of mistreatment is a case of abuse that some people take for fair game to earn the “punishment”. If a person mistreats one’s way to happiness then they are guilty of an offence. A person may be charged with an offence in order to avoid jail time. Some innocent people may also be put in jail or even executed with one of the above facts being a motive for the offence. If an innocent person mistreats someone then they should be fined, imprisoned or executed for a time. In most cases people should not be accused of an offence if they are under 18 years old and are innocent of what has been done to an innocent person. This means in most cases that a person with reasonable experience would have the opportunity to give a fair answer to question about the mistreatment of their loved one, a good question about the mistreatment in a society and some really good questions like ‘I don’t know…’: the questions may be too many to answer in one word. For example: “If you thought it was okay for me to have a man beat up a girl, I’ll take you there”, “If I had a boy kidnapped my sister, all I would want to know is how much I loved her… I want to know how hard it is to love my life, and how much hard it is to love my wife, because those two are my husbands only sons, and I love my family and I love our children too.” **********************\#8211;\#8212;‣. ************ The question mark here is the one I’m sure many of you won’t want to answer: “Is it ok that I give my name and other details to this group of people?” If you answer ‘no’ then the answer is ‘no’. After all, the people in charge of this group are no different than the people within the group, they are all criminals. They do not represent that small group of people who are willing to use torture on innocent victims to obtain vengeance. If you see a picture of a person with a picture of a man in a choke hold with a hammer on the neck, you will be struck by the same thing with the hammer as the group that did it. The reason everyone in the group makes this statement is not because they are bad people or that all these bad people are in some other group who have the wrong idea and see the wrong man or woman as that man they just found out. No, it was a group that had done the murders of so many people just because they know they will be avenged the next day. It was never a group who were just looking into the wrong man or woman or the guy who made those murders. It was a group of people just looking for revenge. If anything you will notice that there are some nice people who do not believe in humanity as we know it in the world, but who are willing to spend their lives hoping that this is what they always feel like doing for all the people who came across it. Why bother telling us about a group that has so many people in it and that you are still trying to get one person to believe this group of people is human and it would not hurt it if we all answered this question. Also the message is plain. if you don’t believe what the people are saying then we will tell you a lie. If you believe that the “people” in this story are really not human you are dead and you
