Theme

One state requirement is that you be able to write about a literary work's theme or main idea or message or.......you get it. So let's try this. My guess is that there are a dozen easily defensible themes for To Kill A Mockingbird. What is yours? Explain. No minimum word requirement but it seems to me you've spent many hours reading this book and you probably have much to say. This is your chance to express your ideas about it.

Three Lives for Mississippi

Go to the internet and research Andy Goodman, Michael Schwerner and James Chaney. Write a reply which details your understanding of these three people and how their lives might echo the lives of characters in To Kill A Mockingbird.
