Harper Lee wrote "To Kill A Mockingbird" in 1960.

The various themes dealt in the novel are those of prejudice, social inequality, good and evil, and moral education along with the 'mockingbird' imagery.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" was written around 1956 - 1959, with many revisions and alterations, including the title of the book. The first title was "Go Set A Watchman" which was changed to "Atticus". But none of them stayed long, not reaching the publisher's expectations. Then Lee finally changed it to "To Kill A Mockingbird" for the story deals beyond the literal content of it. And it was finally published on July 11, 1960.

Through it's characterization of the many main and minor characters, Lee deals with the diverse themes of racial injustice, social inequality in the southern state, the education of children not only in schools but also through moral experiences, the existence of good and evil, courage and compassion, the roles of both genders, and the most important, the 'mockingbird' theme. Lee uses the character of the youngest, Jean Louise "Scout" Finch to talk and show all these themes. Through the eyes of Scout, we are led through the lives of these southern residents, their approaches to the society and their perspectives.

Atticus Finch, the father of Scout and her brother Jem, is a lawyer who plays an important role in educating his children about the moral values, good and bad judgement and the need to be morally educated even when reason may contradict. He makes them understand the importance of having their own opinions, and helps them whenever they make mistakes. Most of all, he taught them the true meaning of what a mockingbird is. It was from him that Scout finally learns the meaning of "killing a mockingbird"- that it stands for something that is falsely accused and killed. "Mockingbird" represents the true goodness and innocence in a person that should always be protected.

Also, the attempts of Aunt Alexandria and Calpurnia to teach Scout how a true southern lady must act, they represent the gender roles of women to be ladylike and help in the housework while the men work outside. The theme of prejudice is seen when the black man Tom Robinson was falsely accused of raping a white girl. Jem and Scout, who had always believed that everyone holds the same opinion like their father does, are shocked to see the racism in their own place. Boo Radley epitomizes the goodness in a person when he saved the Finch children from being hurt by Bob Ewell, the father of the raped girl. These are some of the examples from the text that deals with the themes.

Which three parts of this passage from chapter 6 of emily brontë's wuthering heights show that hindley earnshaw did not care about the well-being of catherine and heathcliff after the death of mr. earnshaw? they both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. he would not even have seen after their going to church on sundays, only joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order heathcliff a flogging, and catherine a fast from dinner or supper. but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. the curate might set as many chapters as he for catherine to get by heart, and joseph might thrash heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again: at least the minute they had contrived some naughty plan of revenge; and many a time i’ve cried to myself to watch them growing more reckless daily, and i not daring to speak a syllable, for fear of losing the small power i still retained over the unfriended creatures. one sunday evening, it chanced that they were banished from the sitting-room, for making a noise, or a light offence of the kind; and when i went to call them to supper, i could discover them nowhere. we searched the house, above and below, and the yard and stables; they were invisible: and, at last, hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night. the household went to bed; and i, too, anxious to lie down, opened my lattice and put my head out to hearken, though it rained: determined to admit them in spite of the prohibition, should they return.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
