The tone of To Kill a Mockingbird changes over the course of the novel from chatty and innocent to dark and knowing as Scout loses a degree of her innocence. Do you think it is better to be innocent or to know? Be sure to explain your answer.

Explanation:

I believe it would be better to be in the known. If you are innocent towards the surrounding, you will be shown to world the hard way. Instead of someone telling you of the world around you, learning about it yourself can be scarring towards some people.

When Scout grows up, she is forced to conform to society. Throught her years, she has learned terms such as n lover, and Atticus never taught his children anything like that. She was exposed to Maycomb's harsh ways of living.

paine is arguying that they had tried everything before coming to the conclusion that they needed to fight for their freedom.

claim 1: "our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in kings more than repeated petitioning and nothing hath contributed more than that very measure to make the kings of europe absolute."

claim 2: "wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for god’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child."
