The adult world is a cold and terrifying place. There are robberies, shootings, murders, suicides, and much more. If you were to be a small child, perhaps age 5, and you were to look in at this world, you would never know how bad it actually was, just from a single glance.

There are numerous moments in To Kill a Mockingbird when Scout and Jem learn something fundamental about human culture and in return, something about themselves. Besides race relations and the history of the struggle for equality in the South, the novel is a coming of age text, mostly dealing with Scout's maturation. Lee conveys this theme this by using a variety of literary elements such as symbolism, imagery, tone and motif to express the overall theme. Using these elements, Lee demonstrates character development physically, mentally, and emotionally allowing her to express the increase of maturity displayed from each character.

This leads to Scout being allowed to act mostly as she pleases rather than forcing her into a gendered role.

Hola reader, what you hold in your hands is the unedited ,unabridged, un-unintresting autobiography of Christofer Smith with a special emphasis on the impact of scouting on my life ( the author (a.k.a me)), and I don’t speak Spanish but it's always good to break the tension with something friendly. Now back to the subject (me), I was born outside of Detroit but my parents moved there with me in tote after I was born. I’ve lived in Detroit for 17 years and have enjoyed all of my time here. When it comes to my early childhood I have a pretty selective memory.

A story is always different depending on the person telling it. This is the case in To Kill a Mockingbird, a classic book by Harper Lee published in 1960. The book is about a child growing up in a racist community in Alabama and the challenges she faces. During her childhood, She messes with Boo Radley, a neighbor, goes to the trial of Tom Robinson, a innocent black man, and is attacked on Halloween night. The story has received much popularity, and has since then been made into a movie. Although the book and the movie follow the same general plot, the book contains many important events missing from the movie that lead to the character development of the main character, Scout.
