How can you describe the Cunninghams?

How can you describe the Cunninghams?


    The Cunninghams are really nice people. It is really sad how poor they are and that shows that not all good people have money. They always pay you back when they borrow something but not has you might expect. They pay you pay with what they grow on their farms. Like potatoes and holly during the Christmas time. They always pay you back with more then what you give them. That is how you know they are really great people.

What is so special about The Radley house?

What is so special about The Radley house?
    

    The Radley house is special because it is the house everyone blames when something goes wrong. For example, when some town's chickens and household pets were killed they always looked at the house. Even though it was really Crazy Addie. Another reason why the house is special is because of the people in it. People think Boo Radley is crazy. They think that way because he stabbed his Dad with a pair a scissors. His Dad refused to put him in an asylum. The only thing wrong with Boo Radley is that he is probably has a  mental disability. Sadly, his Dad died and his older brother has ownership over the house.

Introduction and What does the author mean by it's a sin to kill a mockingbird?

Introduction and What does the author mean by it's a sin to kill a mockingbird?

    Over and over again I heard about how good this book is. Now I am finally reading. I am so excited.
    It's a sin to kill a mockingbird. In that statement, the author means it a sin to kill a black person. In the book a black man is falsely accused of rape. A mockingbird is a symbol of the black man. And in the bible it says thou shall not kill. Showing that the author or the lawyer was on the black man's side and they were not racist.

Why did Maya Angelou name her book I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings?

Why did Maya Angelou name her book I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings?

     Maya Angelou named her book I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings because it symbolizes her and how she felt going through this part of her life. The bird is represents her. The caged bird is symbolic for how emotions, situations and people made her feel trapped. People, situations and emotions overwhelmed her.  She sings or the caged bird sings because they have hope. They can see the light in the long dark tunnel.
