What is the story To Kill a Mockingbird all about?

Answer 1

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a novel by Harper Lee that explores themes of racism, innocence, and morality in a southern town. The story follows young Scout Finch and her father, Atticus, a lawyer who defends a black man accused of raping a white woman. Through this trial, the novel reveals the injustices and prejudices prevalent in society.

Answer 2

The first half of the book is mostly main character scout gives some narratives to give a little family backround and town history, begining with a bit of forshadowing as to the event at the end of the book. The second half is occupied with the events leading to the trial of Tom Robinson, a Negro falsely accused of raping a white girl who comes from a family of white trash that the town scornes but many fueled by the rascism that plagued the south still favor over African Americans. A shut in named Boo Radley who nobody has seen in years is often the butt of the childrens curiousity. Tom is found guilty of rape eventhough his lawyer clearly proved he was inocent but since the family of the supposed victem is disgraced in the process the father swears vengeance on the defense lawyer and eventualy carries out his threat by attacking his children in an attempt on their lives but is instead killedhimself by accedent.
Its about Maycomb. A small southern town, takes place during the Great Depression. Where a black man is on trial for supposedly raping a white woman. It is a very good book! Make sure to read!
It's the story of a black man, named Tom Robinson, who is charged for raping a white woman around the time of segregation. A young girl and main character, Scout Finch, experiences this all when her dad, Atticus Finch, is the lawyer for Tom.

Answer 3

The screenplay was an adaptation of the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. The story has two threads, one involving the main character's children, Jem and Scout, overcoming their fear of the unkown and mysterious "other" (Boo Radley, who leaves little gifts in the hollow of a tree for them to discover) and learning to trust and learn to overcome their apprehension and prejudice; their father, Atticus, is a southern lawyer defending a black man accused of raping a white woman, the outcome of which challenges the town's prejudices and forces them to see things that are an affront to their southern cultural absolutism. It was quite inflamitory and controversial when it was released, as was the book in its time. It's one of the few movies that actually did justice to a powerful, classic novel.

Answer 4

To Kill A Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee made in the late 60's. It was then turned into a classic movie.
Metaphysically the title in itself completely reinacts the motions of complete and absolute hunger of the reader in the novel and shows the fear through the eyes of the frightened girl who drastically changes the meaning of racism itself when experiencing the look of her father who ironically is the role of the lawyer. In any case the man gets hung and pride and joy follows him away. The reader sees the slowly changing facial tissue strings of happiness taken away. However, the true meaning of the town is the isolation of Boo who lives in a house that is abandoned by society and thought of in a turning fashion. Awhilest this somewhat Shakesperian ending. The girl slowly dies and sees the life of the undead flash before her in a sort of a black whole of despite and despair. In the novel, true hate and crime is not realized and love and happiness is never regained. The moral may be takened as unknown however metaphysically speaking it can be uncovered with just a hint of depth into the political meaning of the story To Kill a Mockingbird. In the following performances of racism the latter meanings are shunned and life changes jurastically and life is followed with utter instinct and performance in a permiant fashion. Factilliantly life is expressed as a brilliant and total loss of complete racial harmony. African Americans are completely disgraced against and it is terrible. Life is shown in a violent way with crude ways and unevitable and inequitable undefiant strength in a defiant way. My thesis shows the meanings of logic and hate in the novel.

a very stupid book! and the most borring movie ever i suggest to kill yourself if you have to read it!
I love that book. Is there a question in here somewhere?
Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930's.

To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in the fictional small Southern town of Maycomb in the 1930s (Tom's trial takes place in 1935). Slavery and the Civil War of the 1860s still loom large in the rearview mirror, but the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s is just a speck on the future horizon. Maycomb, despite its civic importance as the county seat, is a small and stagnant town. It's a place where time seems to stand still. Maycomb is its own little world that doesn't know what's happening elsewhere and doesn't care. Few people move there (not much reason to) and few people leave (why bother). This stagnation means that the same families have been around for generations, and family reputations have entered into the local lore as immovable facts. And the way things have always been is racially segregated. Racism, as Atticus says after he loses the Robinson case, is "just as much Maycomb County as missionary teas" (22.11), and it's displayed even in the geography of the town. The African-Americans have their own settlement on the outskirts of white Maycomb, and their own church and cemetery outside the city limits. At Tom's trial the African-Americans sit on one side of the town square, and the whites on the other. Inside the courtroom, the whites have the good seats on the floor while the African-Americans are up in the balcony. It's like the town is one big middle school dance, except that one side has all the power of teachers and then some, and the other has even more limitations than students. Other than a few border-crosses like Mr. Dolph Raymond, whites and blacks in Maycomb don't live together, pray together, eat together, or even die together. So in this town where separate is definitely not equal, for Atticus to act as if Tom Robinson as just as much right to a fair trial as if his skin were white makes some people angrily upset at having to share their rights with people they think don't deserve it, as if human rights were a cake with a limited number of slices. Others are more disturbed that Bob Ewell is able to make the court enforce his false accusation. While the anti-Tom Maycomb is the dominant one, the tiny pro-Tom faction refuses to be erased from the town community.

In part one the family situation OS described. Jem and Scout grow up and meet Dill. Part two is about the trial, Tom Robinson is convicted for raping Mayella Ewell.
