What is the story Who Killed the Mockingbird?

there are different themes without the novel, these are

-bravery/ courage shown by jem which is one of the main themes

-childish innocence seen in scout

Obviously, RACISM was the main part this book was made for (dont know how you missed that)and Mrs. Dubose exemplified just as much bravery as Jem -you'd know if you read the book
the theme of the mockingbird in to kill a mockingbird is that, well, the mockingbird (like it said in the book) doesnt do anything or harm anyone- it just sits and chirps. and so, to kill a mockingbird, means that you are killing something that is very innocent... which can relate to people who judge people who are innocent.... if that makes sense!

The irony lies in the fact that the Maycomb ladies express concern for the well-being of the Mrunas, a distant African tribe, while neglecting the poverty and mistreatment of their own African American community members. Mrs. Merriweather's statement to Scout highlights her hypocrisy as she fails to see the inequalities and injustices present in her own community despite claiming to uphold Christian values.

Why doesn't Scout enjoy the games as much as the boys do in To Kill a Mockingbird?

The Radley game shows that the children are still just being playful but also irresponsible and inconsiderate. They look upon the Radleys in the same way many in Maycomb do: as if they are less than human and inferior to themselves. The children don't consider if the Radleys might be listening and therefore, they don't consider if their feelings may be hurt. One of the major themes of the novel is putting yourself in other people's shoes. Methodically, Atticus teaches the children this in a Socratic way, meaning that he gives them lessons with enough information that they come to the truth by themselves. At the end of chapter 4, Scout notes she doesn't want to play the game anymore because she is obedient to Atticus and because when she fell out of the tire, she heard laughter coming from inside the Radley house. This indicates that she still has fear of Boo but it might also indicate a moment of maturation where she feels sympathy for Boo Radley.

What kill Brandon Lee?

While filming a scene for The Crow, a cap of blank was lodged into his spine. It was in the beginning of the movie, where Top Dollar shot Eric Draven (Brandon) in the back.

What are Atticus views on people being equal?

The amazing thing about Atticus' character is that he treats EVERYONE as an equal. One of the first examples that we see Atticus treat others as equal is when he speaks to Walter (the son) Cunningham when he comes over in chapter 3 for lunch. They speak like to men about crops. He treats Walter like an equal by discussing what Walter is interested in.

In chapter 5, Atticus defends Boo (Arthur) Radley when he goes into a tirade at the children for trying to get Boo to come out. He lectures that what Boo did was his own business, and if he wanted to come out, he would. They were to leave him alone. Atticus could have let the kids continue their games (like any of the other parents would have), but he stopped them, then and there. Boo was a person, too, and what he did was his business.

Of course the most important character (who he desperately wants to make others believe is their equal) is Tom Robinson. Atticus does everything he can to convince the jury that Mayella and Bob are lying. He defends Tom at the jailhouse in front of a bunch of men with guns, too. He wants others to see Tom as a man, an equal, but because he's black in this time period, the town would never see Tom in that light. But Atticus made them all think about it. He was the only one who could keep a jury out that long. Maudie mentions that to the kids after the verdict. He was "making a baby step" in the right direction.
