Final thoughts about the book

This book had a very confusing start for me. At first I didn't understand why Scout and Jem was so curious about the Boo Radley's house and why it was brought up so often in the book. As I read, Atticus had to help Tom Robinson get through the trial. When the book was moving over to a trial scene, it confused me again. I didn't quite understand what the topic and the main theme was about in the book. However, at the end of the book the scenes and the title of the book all made sense. They all instantly connected and I was able to realize that Boo Radley was not so strange as Scout and Jem thought. He was actually a hero in this book. He kills the Mayella Ewell's father but was not in any trouble even though the police captured the scene. The police just let Boo Radley go. They all knew that Tom had died because of something that he did not do. He was innocent. So, my personal thoughts on Radley's action; I think that Radley had done the right thing because a person's got to pay for what they did wrong and he was able to get punished. The mockingbird symbolized innocence in the book and the bird represented Tom. Atticus mentioned in the book that people should not kill mockingbirds. This also has a hidden meaning which could also apply to human being. Not making someone guilty and getting them go through death penalties. The book was very interesting. It discussed about social problems and as a reader I was able to think more deeply and come to a realization that in reality it is worse. So this book made me think about the society that we live in and how the book relates to it. It was a fun book to read and also helped gain and remind myself about the social issues that we face everyday in real life.
