Explain why "it's a sin to kill a mocking bird". How does this idea evident in our society today?

Because there is no reason to treat someone badly, when they did not do anything wrong.

Explanation:

Mockingbirds are birds known for their remarkable singing abilities, which they use to bring joy into the world.

In Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird, this bird species is used as a symbol for innocent people who just want to bring happiness into the world. They are treated unfairly, although they did not actually do any harm. Tom Robinson is considered a mockingbird in the first place - he did not commit a crime he was accused of. He is discriminated against because of his race, which gradually leads to his death. ''It is a sin to kill a mockingbird'' means that it is a sin to hurt someone who did not do anything bad to you. This is also applicable to our society today, as we should be kind to those around us.

Can you think of someone who is a "mocking bird"? Explain why they are a mockingbird.

In the novel, Bob Ewell is another example of a ''mockingbird''. In our everyday life, people who are subjects of prejudices and gossips and are thus excluded from the society are also ''mockingbirds''.

Explanation:

In the play, apart from Tom Robinson, Boo Radley is also a ''mockingbird''. People assume that he is dangerous and are afraid of him. Rumor has it that he never leaves his house and was locked up by his father because he did something bad. Boo, however, proves them wrong when he rescues Jem and Scout from Mr. Ewell. He turns out to be a better person from all the other people who talk behind his back. In a real life, there are ''mockingbirds'' all around us - people who are rejected by the society because of their appearance, race, or other characteristics. The novel teaches us to be good to each other in our everyday life.

what play?

explanation:

there is no play

i have learned a great many things from participating in varsity football. it has changed my entire outlook on and attitude toward life. before my freshman year at [high-school], i was shy, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. football has altered all of these qualities. on the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of touch football. the players were split up and the game began. however, during the game, i noticed that i didn't run as hard as i could, nor did i try to evade my defender and get open. the fact of the matter is that i really did not want to be thrown the ball. i didn't want to be the one at fault if i dropped the ball and the play didn't succeed. i did not want the responsibility of the team because i was too afraid of making a mistake. that aspect of my character led the first years of my high school life. i refrained from asking questions in class, afraid they might be considered too stupid or dumb by my classmates. all the while, i went to practice and everyday, i went home physically and mentally exhausted.

yet my apprehension prevailed as i continued to fear getting put in the game in case another player was injured. i was still afraid of making mistakes and getting blamed by screaming coaches and angry teammates. sometimes these fears came true. during my sophomore season, my position at backup guard led me to play in the varsity games on many occasions. on such occasions, i often made mistakes. most of the time the mistakes were not significant; they rarely changed the outcome of a play. yet i received a thorough verbal lashing at practice for the mistakes i had made. these occurrences only compounded my fears of playing. however, i did not always make mistakes. sometimes i made great plays, for which i was congratulated. now, as i dawn on my senior year of football and am faced with two starting positions, i feel like a changed person.

over the years, playing football has taught me what it takes to succeed. from months of tough practices, i have gained a hard work ethic. from my coaches and fellow teammates, i have learned to work well with others in a group, as it is necessary to cooperate with teammates on the playing field. but most important, i have also gained self-confidence. if i fail, it doesn't matter if they mock or ridicule me; i'll just try again and do it better. i realize that it is necessary to risk failure in order to gain success. the coaches have always said before games that nothing is impossible; i know that now. now, i welcome the challenge. whether i succeed or fail is irrelevant; it is only important that i have tried and tested myself.

the topic of this essay is how the applicant has matured and changed since his freshman year. he focuses on football. one of the strengths of this essay is that it is well organized. the applicant clearly put time into the structure and planning of this essay. he uses the platform of football to discuss and demonstrate his personal growth and development through the high school years. what he could have done better was spend more time describing himself after he made improvements. as it is, he only tells us about his newfound confidence and drive. this essay would have been stronger had he actually shown us, perhaps by including a story or describing an event where his confidence made a difference
