这世界怎样的人才是好人，什么时候才能让人活得不用那么纠结正义不正义，正确还是错误，谁可以给个答案？
电影的一开始，觉得真的很无聊，美国30年代的故事背景不能引起我的一点点印象，五六十年代的拍摄水平也没现在好莱坞商业大片那样绚丽丰富，现在也在奇怪自己当初是受了什么鼓励才把这部无聊透顶的由小说改编的电影坚持看完了（哎）
以一个叫斯科特的刚上小学的女生为故事的主线叙述者，有一个哥哥杰姆，暑假认识的小伙伴迪尔，爸爸阿迪克斯是一个村里比较respectable的律师，帮很多村里贫穷的农民打赢不少关于土地继承的官司。他们有个叫布的邻居，听说他小时被自己的爸爸绑在家因为他们认为他精神有问题，但他们又觉得自己家族的人不能进精神病院，所以，她们附近的这座小房子成了我们小时口中常说的鬼屋，但是小孩子就是小孩子，虽然很害怕很害怕但是就是比较欠抽（原谅我用这个词，因为我自己就是这样的一个小孩子）就是禁不住好奇心，总想方设法接近它，彼此打赌敢不敢到房子旁边以碰手为准，或是夜深时避过大人眼线溜出家偷偷从窗往鬼屋里看，看的时候一个黑影渐渐逼近、渐渐逼近···然而又退走了（这是一个伏笔）小孩们吓破了胆，毕竟我自己当场也叫出声了（囧死了，当时可是还有师兄师姐的···）我在内心里骂了他们不下三千次，好端端在家待着就好了冒什么险啊（不得不说虽然影片比较老，但那摄影角度和水准还是有的，环境氛围渲染得那叫一个恐怖和到位啊）。
说回他们的爸爸阿迪克斯吧，他最近在为一个叫汤姆鲁滨逊的黑人辩护，控诉黑人的是他强奸并殴打了一名白人女性（其实真相是白女勾引强壮有力的黑人未果被其父撞见，其父尤厄尔醉酒，殴打的他的女儿，而且坚定认为是黑人强奸了他的女儿，女儿被打怕了，顺从了其父的意思一口指证是汤姆强奸并殴打的她），法院没开庭前，尤厄尔带了一班农民准备到监狱私自解决了汤姆（以前的监狱不像现在防备这么好，很简陋的，连阿迪克斯作为律师知道他们的计划后也赶到监狱前为汤姆守夜至于以前的美国监狱怎么样我没有查究，这或许是为了剧情需要，可美国允许自配枪这一点大家都是知道的），他们围着斯斯文文的阿迪克斯，咄咄逼人让他走开，这时三个孩子出现了（分别是斯科特，杰姆和迪尔），双方坚持不下，斯科特这时看到农民中有一位之前曾为感谢她父亲送来核桃的叫沃尔特的农民，跟他打招呼，但是他用帽檐挡住视线，低着头，没有搭理她（他曾经有求于阿迪克斯，而现在他又和别人一起针对阿迪克斯，或许他也觉得没有颜面面对恩人阿迪克斯和这么善良单纯的女孩斯科特吧，后来也是他出面说这次先放过汤姆一次这事才不了了之）。这里面看出了一个众所周知的问题，就是美国的种族歧视，白人不需要证据，只要是有关黑人的案件一律是黑人的错，而且不需要经过法律就可以枪毙黑人的生命对生命这个话题，我很少矫情，这次也不准备矫情，只是看他们很不爽（那时候我也没确认汤姆是不是真的犯了罪），有罪的无罪的，他们这样做像什么样子要规则要法律何用！我以为官司会赢（因为有理有据汤姆被冤枉了），剧情需要，
还是输了，输了就输了我也猜到了，出乎我意料的是，汤姆竟然在去监狱的路上逃跑，未遂，不小心被打死了恩，我也是这时才觉得这部片从意义上有点意思，之前的那些铺垫豁然开朗，他，不就是名字中的那个mocking bird吗，所谓mocking bird，即知更鸟，一种对人类无害又无利的鸟，只会在枝头自己鸣叫歌唱，然而它有一天被猎人一枪打下树，平凡的不能再平凡的黑人汤姆，过着自己的生活，有一天遇上了猎人，他无法自救，因为他是黑人，没有更多的像阿迪克斯那样的人相信他，在一个不被认可的环境生活，他所祈求的不过的是自力更生自食其力，然而还是有无妄之灾，要说他错在哪，错在他不该选择那个环境吧
情景再换，因为这个官司，尤厄尔对阿迪克斯恨透了（我不爽啊，你凭什么恨阿迪克斯啊，不过剧情和现实往往就是如此），有一天夜里，他跟踪斯科特和杰姆从万圣节晚会回家（好像万圣节也快到了）路上打晕了杰姆，正准备对斯科特下手时被一双手拦下并被打晕了，两小孩因此得救回到房间阿迪克斯和斯科特才发现抱回受伤杰姆的是那个在整部剧中第一次露面的布（就是那个说是crazy的邻居），郡长到场发现尤厄尔已经被（布）用刀杀死了，阿迪克斯很犹豫，布是为了就自己的孩子才会杀死尤厄尔，而他又是一个对对法律和规则很尊重的人（纵观全剧），郡长发话了尤厄尔不小心坐在了自己的刀上，阿迪克斯，你不用说话了，我们已经救不回一个知更鸟（指汤姆），难道现在还要杀死另一个知更鸟吗（前文有铺垫提到，阿迪克斯小时候收到他父亲的猎枪时曾被告诉我宁愿你的枪口对着蓝嘴鸟，也不要杀死任何一只知更鸟）结局嘛，是斯科特拉着一直没说过话的布的手，大手牵小手，送布回他的那间有颗温暖的跳动的心的鬼屋······
衣冠楚楚的人也会有肮脏不堪的内心，外表恐怖的人也是有血有肉的，我们评论一个人，从他的外表吗，从他的过去吗，从他的现在吗？你可以给一个人下结论，也给不了一个人下结论。阿迪克斯在我小时候告诉我要学会从别人的角度为别人着想，对于布，只要站在他家门口就好了。
现在，我们回到开始提出的那些问题，什么是好人？怎么才算活得正确？种族就确定一切吗？阶级就确定一切吗？性别就确定一切吗？过去就代表未来吗？别这么武断了。Innocence，虽然这是老师给知更鸟的答案，我还是不满足的，因为清楚知道，这类问题，答案不会嫌多不是每个问题都有答案，我只能说，给我的感觉嘛，这个答案说得过去。
之前我并没有听过Harper Lee, 更没有看过她的这部作品，我不是一个喜欢思考人生的人，也没有闲情去思考，有时间不如看看小说看看动漫，不是一个矫情的人，但也会哭会难过，不为该哭的哭，该哭的都有人为它而哭，多我一个不多，跟着感觉走就好了，这次看这种电影，以前不是没看过，我写读后感也不是什么特别想写（有点心酸自己都过了那个），今晚打棍回来累坏了，想玩电脑却有点空虚，想写情诗练练手感，又想不到写给谁，打了个电话陪家人聊会天，想起昨晚的电影，就这样写了，写就写了，希望还能有点逻辑，没有也
不管了，权当打单机游戏了
第一篇 之所以取名观后感是觉得自己还没有足够的专业知识水平来写影评。为此，只能根据老师所介绍的背景以及个人对剧情的理解来写一份非专业水平的观后感。
这部电影给我最深的印象不是案情的精彩，亦不是派克的专业辩护，而是斯各特和杰姆的快乐、童真的少年愉快时光，在剧中可以看到只有父亲的斯各特和杰姆，没有缺乏爱，相反却是满满的父爱和对母亲的憧憬与怀念。这两个小孩的童年可以说快乐、好奇、幸福齐聚一身。或许很多现在的小孩都会非常羡慕他们在自己的家里就可以玩的很开心，轮胎、爬树、荡秋千等等。这些在现在这个钢筋水泥的城市，只能在游乐场才能看到它们的缩影。这让我想起自己的童年。小时候的自己，不用干农活的时候几乎天天都跟着一大帮年龄比自己大的孩子一起玩，捉迷藏、玩过人游戏、跳绳、去山上摘果子、冬天在田里烤番薯等等，那个时候自己真的是没有压力，父母也不会给太多的约束。从而悄悄地渡过了快乐的童年。而反观现在的小孩，在富裕的物质条件下，可惜可以玩的时间和玩意似乎和家庭水平成了反比，现在的家长都希望自己的子女可以高人一筹，为此巨大的压力落在了瘦弱的肩膀上，玩耍的时间已经被参加兴趣班所代替。或许谁也没有权利去评定这种社会现实的对与错，科技的发展必然会带来变革。它是一种进步。人，从来都是在现实中抓住过去不放，从而有了感慨，感叹现实的不满，抒发对过去的怀念。人，就是一种充满矛盾的灵长类动物，在矛盾中挣扎，在现实中摸索着自己的道路。不过我想这也不为过，正好可以弥补内心的空虚，在忙碌中回忆过去。也许这可以作为一种情感治疗，从而让自己不断进步。
其次，应该是派克的父亲形象和英雄形象给人深刻印象。身为单亲爸爸，他对于子女的教育让人油然产生一种敬佩。特别是在他的子女在生活中见证了社会上非常现实但又很令人费解的情形下，他用他博深的知识抚平了孩子内心对社会丑陋现象的恐惧，给予了孩子坚强、有原则的强大心灵空间，用精准的枪法给孩子一伟岸之感，他对斯各特和杰姆的爱不像现在社会父母对孩子的爱那样地 粗
陋短浅，利益颇多。那种纯洁的爱让人实在为之渴望和向往。而作为一名黑人的辩护律师，在当时的情势下，作为有名望的白人律师，肯放下黑人与白人之间不可逾越的鸿沟，秉着敬业的职业的职业道德，不顾现实的阻碍，受害者父亲尤厄尔的侮辱，全力为当事人辩护，这不仅给当今社会上的律师界立下了一个好榜样，而且也给现实中的人们以精神教育。虽然最后陪审团判处黑人有罪，但其高尚的职业形象已威严屹力于我们心中。派克的这两种形象给予大人们的影响不言而喻，但对于他的小孩的影响，我想莫过于是派克在遭受受害者父亲带人想干掉黑人是他女儿斯各特所说的那一番看似朴实却是沁人肺腑的话的直接体现。耳濡目染的影响实在令人惊呼！
最后来说说影片中的知更鸟。知更鸟作为和谐的象征，在那个时代背景中发挥了重要的作用，影片开始之时就已把知更鸟的象征意义和重要意义提及了，但在影片过程中似乎没有任何的一些情节，反而是通过两个人物黑人汤姆和布的形象来阐释说明知更鸟。为什么说黑人是知更鸟呢？我们从他的辩护陈述中可以的知，不为报酬的帮忙、左手臂的残废、他的诚实、乐于助人的形象这可谓是坚强的知更鸟，但是法庭的宣判让这只坚强的知更鸟错失了方向，选择了逃逸。最后死在了枪火之下。而最后的元凶之死更让人惋惜黑人，惋惜这只被错杀的知更鸟。另外一只知更鸟莫过于布，从斯各特和杰姆的童年开始他就保持着神秘的面纱，从而令斯各特和杰姆对他的好奇是日以加深。但布没有想村里传言中的那样在斯各特他们去探看他的真面目是给予他们伤害。反而是保护他们。折叠好的裤子，不同时日收集到的小玩意，这些都是体现了布的满怀仁爱之心。那为什么说布是另外一只知更鸟呢？最有力的说明在于斯各特和杰姆遇难时的挺身而出。但由于尤厄尔的死亡，给布带来了困难，还好村长英明之计说尤厄尔死在自己的菜刀之下才得以让这只善良的知更鸟。从布的表情，厚而暖的手掌真的可以让人感觉到温暖。这只
知更鸟会陪伴斯各特和杰姆快乐的成长。两只知更鸟，被杀死了一只，这又恰恰接应了影片题目。实在是佩服导演的匠心独运。
《杀死一只知更鸟》，是一部集孩子教育、社会教育、道德教育的好影片！【杀死一只知更鸟观后感】
第二篇
情节精彩紧张之余发人深思【杀死一只知更鸟观后感】
故事前半部主要是围绕吉姆兄妹俩及其伙伴对神秘邻居的探秘
故事的背景是在一个平静的小镇上
起初,人们对这神秘人的种种恐怖猜测与传闻
再加上他那阴森荒凉的小屋和杂草丛生的花园
制造了一个很好的悬念
而此后
缓慢移动的黑影
悉悉的脚步声
随风摇晃的秋千
摇曳的树影
深夜空荡街道
总是藏着奇怪物品的树洞
总总如上
都很好的塑造了诡异、恐怖、神秘的气氛
故事的精华在后半部
一个黑人被指控强奸一名白人小姐
明明疑点甚多、证据不足
却因为镇上人们对黑人的偏见
认定黑人山姆.罗宾逊有罪
主人公阿卡斯是一名律师
他正为这一案件的被告人进行辩护
而他也因为"袒护"黑人而遭受了种种非议
影片中
长达近四十分钟的法庭辩护十分精彩
许多台词非常经典
这里不做一一复述
法庭上每个演员都表现的很好
正气凛然的律师
装作受害者的白人小姐
含泪申冤的黑人山姆
阴险暴力的真正凶手
随便一个都是演技派
影片带给我们许多关于社会、法律、制度和人性的思考
社会就一张充满规则的未知的网
明明人人本该平等
却有许多人被世俗偏见所累，无辜枉死
而有人却处处专制度的空子，逍遥法外
人心不可斗量，世事难以预料
所幸冥冥之中善恶终有报
杀死一只知更鸟
自会有忏悔的打猎者
也会有付出代价的滥杀者
是一部带有一点悬疑的电影，电影把无辜而善良的被害者比做被杀的知更鸟，通过观众对两只"知更鸟"（黑人被告罗宾逊和阿瑟先生）的好奇,吸引观者看下去．有时，先入为主是一处偏见，它会让人们失去判断的客观性和公正性．第一只知更鸟就被当时的社会偏见而杀死了，那时，芬奇的个人能力在整个社会的偏见下显得是如此无能为力． 也许是为了不让观众对社会的未来感到太失望吧，而第二只知更鸟没有被害，因为人们的内心的善良，最终救了这只知更鸟（没有把救了孩子的阿瑟先生抖露出来）．
这是影片在情节设计上的独特之处．不过，也许是时代的局限性吧，整个故事片中体现出的是一种小镇文化，感觉与现代社会还有些遥远．即便如此，还是能看到比我们优越的美国文化因素．如所有黑人在芬奇走出法庭里自觉地起立的场景，让人很感动．还有芬奇与他的子女之间体现出的平等与互相尊敬的家庭关系．还有人与人之间的那种相互尊重．
特别是在片末的那句让我感触的话：＂你永远不会真正了解一个人，除非你站在他的鞋子里，跟着他走．站在拉德得的门外，对我来说已足矣．＂＿＿斯科特与吉姆一直对那个神秘的邻居万分地好奇，但不论如何好奇，你的了解也只能限于他的门前，而不能进入门内．对一个人的了解与隐私的窥探也是如此，是有限度的，不论你对这个人多么好奇与渴望，但总要保留和尊重对方的自有空间．
知更鸟，都去哪儿了
——《杀死一只知更鸟》
在长久的社会游戏中，每个人都会有其所属的相对固定的阶级。而不同的阶级为了获取自身最大的利益往往不择手段，自以为是在守护着本阶级的正义与公平，殊不知时常伤及无辜的“知更鸟”。
影片讲述了1933-1935年经济大萧条和黑人民权运动背景之下，一个白人父亲在暴打自己的女儿后却诬陷一个黑人青年强奸，而另一位白人律师拼命为其诉讼，却依旧被有种族歧视的陪审团裁定为有罪及小镇上一个名为Boo的疯子被大家传言为恐怖之极的人，但后来被发现是极纯真、善良的人的故事。
该影片有着追求客观、真实的现实主义风格，同时也是好莱坞六十年代初自由主义的先声。在那样一个绝大多数电影都开始被拍摄成彩色的年代，这部影片极有个性的被制作成了黑白色调，在那灰白的画面中，影片所想要传递的深层含义和隐喻意义也是不言而喻。
主人公Atticus Finch曾对自己的一儿一女Jeremy和Scout说：“随便杀死一只知更鸟是罪过。因为知更鸟什么都没做，只不过唱歌给我们听，让我们快乐。不毁坏人们的花园，不在玉米地里做窝，除了专心歌唱，他们什么都不做。”正是这样一番看似无意的解释，为观众揭示了“知更鸟’这一意象的含义——天真无辜的人。我想，正是因为含义深刻，才选中了《杀死一只知更鸟》这样一个有点恐怖有点诗意有点含蓄却也尖刻无比的名字为片名吧。该影片在国内还有一个译
名，《怪屋疑云》。乍一看这名字，我还以为是恐怖片，不曾想到竟是这样一部有历史感有深度的影片。一些资料上是这样解释的：Boo一直被锁在屋子里的床上，而这栋房子在小镇居民的心里也是一栋怪屋。《怪屋疑云》这一译名可谓是错误的巧合，妙极。但我却以为这一译名甚是不妥。首先，这是一部法律题材的电影，其中蕴含的是浓浓的法律感和历史的味道，《怪屋疑云》一名胜似恐怖片片名，虽然会有吸引读者目光的作用，但显得不够严肃、庄重。其次，怪屋者Boo只是其中一只“知更鸟”，在影片中比起Tom.Robinson，他更像是一条暗线，主题的呈现离不开暗线，也离不开主线，若只是简单地以暗线内容为名，颇有“思考不周全”之嫌。
主人公Atticus Finch是一名律师，也是一位单身父亲。作为律师，他尽职尽责且思维敏捷。印象最深的就是庭审现场，在原告白人妇女歇斯底里地向所有人喊道，如果你们这些优雅的、自负的绅士对此不闻不问的话，那你们就不过是一群恶心的、下流的、令人讨厌的胆小鬼。你们全部都是！你们那自负的炫耀毫无意义。你们口头上的‘女士’和‘玛耶拉小姐’都毫无意义，他依旧能够保持镇定，坚持自己的看法。在Tom说道，帮助她，我一分钱都不想要，我觉得对不起她时，他能够立刻正确解释道：“一个安静的、谦虚的值得尊敬的黑人，真实坦诚对一个白人妇女感到抱歉，因为他的陈词，对两个白人不利。”他也能够冒着与全镇白人为敌的险，坚守着正义地说：“在这个国家，我们的法院是最公平的。在我们的法院里，所有的人都是平等的，我并不是一个理想主义者，盲信我们的法院和司法系统的正直无私……现在我相信各位会重新审核，抛开个人情感，仅由您们听到的证据，来做出决定，释放这个人回家，以上帝的名义做你们应该做的，以
上帝的名义相信Tom.Robinson。”我无法想象他是鼓起了多大的勇气才说出了这样的一番话，我也不知道在他的身后支持着他为黑人民权奋斗的动力又是什么，但我知道，作为一名律师，他是在真真正正地守护着正义和公平。卡伦伯格的《毁约》一书中曾有这样的一个片段，一个学生问道：“律师是否会把道德问题（原告是否有罪）纳入考虑？”.罗森伯格报以冷笑：“或许吧，但是律师就会开始盘算要再加收多少钱。”无可否认，在当今社会，律师的确是一个高收入的职业，但是更不能否认的是，越来越多的人成为律师只是为了高收入，正义和公平对他们而言不再是最重要的，只要报酬可观，那么他们会用那三寸不烂之舌将黑的说成白的，把是掰成非。Atticus的饰演者曾说：“我将我所有的一切都倾注于他（Atticus Finch）的身上，我所有的情感，我46年的人生经验以及我对种族歧视与社会不公的憎恶之情。”2003年的时候，Atticus Finch被选为了影史上第一银幕大英雄，事实上，正是这种将自己完全融入角色之中的做法，使得这一角色取得了巨大的成功。而作为父亲，Atticus也是相当成功的。他与儿女之前的关系似父子也似朋友。Jeremy和Scout从不叫他父亲，一直是直呼其名，Jeremy更是说一学会说话便如此叫。Atticus是民主随和的，但这并不意味着他会放纵孩子们。10岁的Jeremy想要自己的枪，他会为安全着想而坚决不同意；当Scout在小伙伴面前粗鲁无礼时，他会和她聊天帮她及时树立正确的价值观：你永远都不会理解一个人，除非你以他的角度去看问题，除非你钻到他的心里面去。
影片中人物较多，每个角色的性格都是鲜明的，若简单地以“善”、“恶”为区分标准，那么，“善”一类便都可称为“知更鸟”。而在这群“知更鸟”中，最具代表性的便是Tom和Boo。
Tom是一个普通美国人，但因为生活在30年代而变得不再普通——他是一个黑人。在那样一个种族歧视严重的年代，美国白人的心中都有这样一个道德素质假设：所有的黑人都会撒谎，所有的黑人天生都是邪恶的，所有的黑人对我们的妇女来说都是不可信的。于是，有了这样先入为主的观点，不论事实如何，当Tom踏入法院的那一刻起，他就已经被定罪了。白人妇女打破社会丛林法则在先，但她得到了大把的同情。她或许不至恶毒得想要一条鲜活的生命，或许她只是希望用法院的一纸文书来麻痹自己的神经，抹去自己错误的痕迹，但正是这样敢做不敢当的愚蠢行为杀死了一只知更鸟。
Boo是一个精神不太正常的白人男性，一直以来都被父亲囚禁在一栋房子里的床上。小镇里的人以讹传讹，Boo的形象也就越来越阴森恐怖。Jeremy曾这样形容：他有六英尺半的身高，他生吃松鼠和所有他能捉得到的猫，在他的脸上有一道很长的疤，他的牙齿又黄又烂，他的眼睛凸出来，他还一直流口水。孩子们一直把Boo当作是妖魔鬼怪，但是细心的Jeremy却发现家门前的树洞里总有很多小玩意儿，并且有次他被栅栏缠住了裤子，情急之下弃裤而行，后来折回去拿的时候却发现裤子叠得整整齐齐的，就像是在等他回去拿一样，他感到很奇怪，却从未想到做这些的人就是Boo。又过了很久，当在小树林里Ewell想要伤害Jeremy和Scout时，Boo却站了出来保护着兄妹两，还将手臂骨折失去意识的Jeremy送回了家。于此，大家才明白他的纯真和善良，也才明白过来，曾经玩笑般的谣言无情的杀死了一只这样可爱的知更鸟。
知更鸟一只接着一只死掉，而杀死它们的就是我们自己。
种族歧视和社会等级是一把沾满鲜血的利剑，将成千上万的黑色知更鸟杀死在了那号称拥有自由民主的国度。一直以来我们宣扬的都是人人生而平等，但是现实社会却从未实现过。不久前看到一张走红全球的纽约地铁的照片，“黑人靠着陌生白人的肩，工作累，让他睡吧”，一个黑人靠着白人，而那个白人却没有生气或是怎样，的确温暖人心，但是这偏偏是“一黑一白“的搭配，反观之，也可说明在人们的意识中还没有完全消除等级、种族差别的观念。倘若是一个白人靠着一个陌生白人或一个黑人靠着一个陌生黑人，才能更好地诠释 “平等”，给人温暖。但是，我想，假若真是那样，照片也就不会如此之红了吧。
趋利，则是一粒致命的毒药丸。天下熙熙皆为利来，天下攘攘皆为利往，一家得利，与之对应的另一家便会失利，而夺利的手段和方法是我们无法想象的，换言之也就是每一次斗争都会有二分之一的机率杀死一只知更鸟。杀死知更鸟的方法太多，还包括人与人之间的不信任等等（在这里我就不再一一举例说明）。
知更鸟是物质，物质是有限的，它经不起我们无止境的杀戮，一旦死亡的速度超过繁衍的速度，那么知更鸟便只能成为传说了。但我们不必太过担心，因为这并不是不可控的，有无数个只要可以控制局面。可说到底那毕竟是虚拟语气，控制还是不控制终究还是要看我们自己，无奈实在的人们的确没怎么担心，于是现实只能是悲惨的了。
影片相当具有启迪意义，我希望每一个观看过的人都能从中悟出点什么，并
To kill a mockingbird
The story is about Scout Finch, a little girl, who lives with her brother, Jem, and their widowed father, Atticus, in the sleepy Alabama town of Maycomb. Maycomb is suffering through the Great Depression, but Atticus is a prominent lawyer and the Finch family is reasonably well off in comparison to the rest of society.
The climax of the story is a trial. To the consternation of Maycomb's racist white community, Atticus agrees to defend a black man named Tom Robinson; who has been accused of raping a white woman. Because of Atticus's decision, Jem and Scout are subjected to abuse from other children, even when they celebrate Christmas at the family compound on Finch's Landing. At the trial itself, the children sit in the “colored balcony” with the town’s black citizens. Atticus provides clear evidence that the accusers, Mayella Ewell and her father, Bob, are lying.
Yet, despite the significant evidence pointing to Tom’s innocence, the all-white jury convicts him. In the aftermath of the trial, Jem’s faith in justice is badly shaken, and he lapses into despondency and doubt. But, Boo Radley ,who has lived a spooky house called the Radley Place for years without venturing outside, intervenes, however, saving the children and killing Ewell in the struggle.
After this accident,Scout accepts her father’s advice to practice sympathy and understanding and demonstrates that her experiences with hatred and prejudice will not sully her faith in human goodness.
However in all roles I like Atticus best. He is a wise man, committed to justice and equality, and his parenting style is based on fostering these virtues in his children一he even encourages Jem and Scout to call him "Atticus" so that they can interact on terms as equal as possible. Throughout the novel, Atticus works to develop Scout's and Jem's respective consciences, through both teaching, as when he tells Scout to put herself in a person's shoes before she judges them, and example, as when he takes Tom Robinson's case, living up to his own moral standards despite the harsh consequences he knows he will face. Atticus is a kind and loving father, reading to his children and offering them comfort when they need it, but he is also capable of teaching them harsh lessons, as when he allows Jem to come with him to tell Helen Robinson about Tom's death. At the end of the novel, when Atticus believes that Jem killed Bob Ewell, he tries to talk Heck Tate, the sheriff, out of calling the death an accident--Atticns's standards are firm, and he does not want his son to have unfair protection from the law.
What’s more, the adversity faced by the family reveals Atticus's parenting style, his focus on instilling moral values in Jem and Scout. Particularly important to Atticus are justice, restraint, and honesty. He tells his children to avoid getting in fights, even if they are verbally
abused, and to practice quiet courage instead. When he gives Jem and Scout air rifles as presents, he advises them that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. This idea is, of course, the source of the novel's title, and it reflects the book's preoccupation with injustices inflicted upon innocents. In different ways, Jem and Scout, Boo Radley, and Tom Robinson are all “mockingbirds”.
Reflection on Novel To Kill A Mockingbird To Kill a Mockingbird is the only successful novel of Harper Lee. The story takes place in Alabama during the Depression in the early 20th century. Three kids, Scout, Dill and Jim like the Mockingbird, a kind of Finch.they use their eyes to 见证了一个个事件的发生和结局。 Which delving into humanity, 法制，正义，道义 and issues of society under the setting of America。
Short Summary
The story takes place in Alabama during the Depression, and is narrated by the main character, a little girl named Jean Louise "Scout" Finch. who lives in their neighborhood but never leaves his house. Legend has it that he once stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors, and he is made out to be a kind of monster. Dill is from Mississippi but spends his summer in Maycomb at a house near the Finch's.
The children are curious to know more about Boo, and during one summer create a mini-drama they enact daily, which tells the events of his life as they know them. Slowly, the children begin moving closer to the Radley house, which is said to be haunted. They try leaving notes for Boo on his windowsill with a fishing pole, but are caught by Atticus, who firmly reprimands them for making fun of a sad man's life. Next, the children try sneaking over to the house at night and looking through its windows. Boo's brother, Nathan Radley, who lives in the house, thinks he hears a prowler and fires his gun. The children run away, but Jem loses his pants in a fence. When he returns in the middle of the night to get them back, they have been neatly folded and the tear from the fence roughly sewn up.
Other mysterious things happen to the Finch children. A certain tree near the Radley house has a hole in which little presents are often left for them, such as pennies, chewing gum, and soap carved figures of a little boy and girl who bear a striking resemblance to Scout and Jem. The children don't know where these gifts are coming from, and when they go to leave a note for the mystery giver, they find that Boo's brother has plugged up the hole with cement. The next winter brings unexpected cold and snow, and Miss Maudie's house catches on fire. While Jem and Scout, shivering, watch the blaze from near the Radley house, someone puts a blanket around Scout without her realizing it. Not until she returns home and Atticus asks her where the blanket came from does she realize that Boo Radley must have put it around her while she was entranced by watching Miss Maudie, her favorite neighbor, and her burning house. , a member of the notorious Ewell family, who belong to the layer of Maycomb society that people refer to as "trash." The Finch family faces harsh criticism in the heavily racist Maycomb because of Atticus's decision to defend Tom. But, Atticus insists on going through with the case because his conscience could not let him do otherwise. He knows Tom is innocent, and also that he has almost no chance at being acquitted, because the white jury will never believe a black man over a white woman. Despite this, Atticus wants to reveal the truth to his fellow townspeople, expose their bigotry, and encourage them to imagine the possibility of racial equality.
Because Atticus is defending a black man, Scout and Jem find themselves whispered at and taunted, and have trouble keeping their tempers. At a family Christmas gathering, Scout beats up her cloying relative when he accuses Atticus of ruining the family name by being a "nigger-lover". Jem cuts off the tops of an old neighbor's flower bushes after she derides Atticus, and as punishment, has to read out loud to her every day. Jem does not realize until after she dies that he is helping her break her morphine addiction. When revealing this to Jem and Scout, Atticus holds this old woman up as an example of true courage: the will to keep fighting even when you know you can't win.
The time for the trial draws closer, and Atticus's sister Alexandra comes to stay with the family. She is proper and old-fashioned and wants to shape Scout into the model of the Southern feminine ideal, much to Scout's resentment. Dill runs away from his home, where his mother and new father don't seem interested in him, and stays in Maycomb for the summer of Tom's trial. The night before the trial, Tom is moved into the county jail, and Atticus, fearing a possible lynching, stands guard outside the jail door all night. Jem is concerned about him, and the three children sneak into town to find him. A group of men arrive ready to cause some violence to Tom, and threaten Atticus in the process. At first Jem, Scout and Dill stand aside, but when she senses true danger, Scout runs out and begins to speak to one of the men, the father of one of her classmates in school. Her innocence brings the crowd out of their mob mentality, and they leave.
The trial pits the evidence of the white Ewell family against Tom's evidence.
According to the Ewells, Mayella asked Tom to do some work for her while her father was out, and Tom came into their house and forcibly beat and raped Mayella until her father appeared and scared him away. Tom's version is that Mayella invited him inside, then threw her arms around him and began to kiss him. Tom tried to push her away. When arrived, he flew into a rage and beat her, while Tom ran away in fright. According to the sheriff's testimony, Mayella's bruises were on the right side of her face, which means she was most likely punched with a left hand. Tom Robinson's left arm is useless due to an old accident, whereas Mr. Ewell leads with his left. Given the evidence of reasonable doubt, Tom should go free, but after hours of deliberation, the jury pronounces him guilty. Scout, Jem and Dill sneak into the courthouse to see the trial and sit in the balcony with Maycomb's black
population. They are stunned at the verdict because to them, the evidence was so clearly in Tom's favor.
Though the verdict is unfortunate, Atticus feels some satisfaction that the jury took so long deciding. Usually, the decision would be made in minutes, because a black man's word would not be trusted. Atticus is hoping for an appeal, but
unfortunately Tom tries to escape from his prison and is shot to death in the process. Jem has trouble handling the results of the trial, feeling that his trust in the goodness and rationality of humanity has been betrayed.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ewell threatens Atticus and other people connected with the trial because he feels he was humiliated. He gets his revenge one night while Jem and Scout are walking home from the Halloween play at their school. He follows them home in the dark, then runs at them and attempts to kill them with a large kitchen knife. Jem breaks his arm, and Scout, who is wearing a confining ham shaped wire costume and cannot see what is going on, is helpless throughout the attack. The elusive Boo Radley stabs Mr. Ewell and saves the children. Finally, Scout has a chance to meet the shy and nervous Boo. At the end of this fateful night, the sheriff declares that Mr. Ewell fell on his own knife so Boo, the hero of the situation, won't have to be tried for murder. Scout walks Boo home and imagines how he has viewed
the town and observed her, Jem and Dill over the years from inside his home. Boo goes inside, closes the door, and she never sees him again
Comments
The novel covers several themes, delving into humanity, issues of society under the setting of America during the recession in the early 20th century.
Major Theme Good and Evil
To Kill a Mockingbird is an exploration of human morality, and presents a constant conversation regarding the inherent goodness or evilness of people. Atticus, father of Scout and Jem, also plays the role of teacher, for his children and his town.
Atticus believes that people usually contain aspects of both good and evil, but that good will usually prevail. Atticus teaches this to his children, but also to the town, as he works to defend Tom Robinson, an innocent black man accused of raping a white woman. In the racist town of Maycomb in the heart of America's South during the Depression era, this is a Herculean task. Despite the challenge of overcoming the town's deeply ingrained racism and forcing people to change their social
perspectives, Atticus struggles on, because he believes that one day, goodness will prevail over the evils of racism and racial equality will exist.
Major Theme Education
Shortly after the novel begins, Scout starts her first year at school. The
educational system in Maycomb leaves much to be desired. Scout is ahead of her classmates because Atticus has taught her to read and write, and Calpurnia has even taught her script. However, once her teacher discovers this, she punishes Scout and tells her not to learn anything else at home, because her father does not know how to teach her properly. This is the first clear conflict between
institutionalized education and education in the home.
Major Theme Social Inequality
Scout elucidates the town's social strata quite clearly on her first day at school when Walter Cunningham does not have lunch or lunch money. Her classmates ask her to explain to the teacher why Walter won't take a loaned quarter to buy lunch, and she lectures the teacher on the Cunningham's financial situation and how they trade goods for services. Scout and the other children have a very clear
understanding of the social inequalities in their town, but see these inequalities as natural and permanent. The Finch family falls rather high up in the social hierarchy, while the Ewell family falls at the bottom. However, this hierarchy only includes white people. Maycomb's black population fall beneath all white families in
Maycomb, including the Ewells, whom Atticus labels as "trash".
Major Theme Perspective
Throughout the novel, Atticus urges his children to try to step into other people's shoes to understand how they see the world. Whenever Scout doesn't understand Jem, Atticus encourages her to try to understand how he might be feeling. Usually, Scout finds this advice helpful, and her attempts to gain insight into other people's perspectives on life and the world broaden her moral education and social understanding.
Major Theme Racism
Obviously, racism is a major theme of the novel. During the Depression era, blacks were still highly subjugated members of society. Blacks were not permitted to commingle with whites in public settings, as exemplified in the courthouse
physical separation of races and in the clearly distinct black and white areas of town. Moreover, things like intermarriage were almost unheard of, and sorely looked down upon.
Throughout the novel, Scout explores the differences between black people and white people. Tom Robinson is convicted purely because he is a black man and his accuser is white. The evidence is so powerfully in his favor, that race is clearly the single defining factor in the jury's decision. Atticus fights against racism, and a few other townspeople are on his side, including Miss Maudie and Judge Taylor. Jem and Scout also believe in racial equality, but are obviously in the minority. When Atticus wins the trial, he tries to make his children understand that although he lost, he did help move along the cause of ending racism as evidenced by the jury's lengthy deliberation period. Usually, such a trial would be decided immediately.
Reflection
This novel impresses on me profoundly. Prejudice and injustice on the Negro are deeply rooted in people's heart in the small southern town. However, justice and kindness still exist. Though Finch's effort ultimately turned out changeless of the racial tension in the town, his noble spirit had set an good example for people of conscience. Besides, another thing I want to mention is the title “to kill a mockingbird”. Literally, the novel seems to have nothing to do with the mockingbird, but actually, it has a great symbolic meaning. It presents the innocent. We can say the black man, Finch, James and Jane were all mockingbirds. Furthermore, it is a symbol of the noble kind of human quality.
Finch once told his children that never to kill a mockingbird, because this bird never do something evil, it just sing for human beings, it’s a sin to kill it. Likewise, to kill a an innocent black man is also a sin, he just lived quietly, not making any troubles .As people of conscience, we should guard human dignity and equality.
Reflection on Novel To Kill A Mockingbird To Kill a Mockingbird is the only successful novel of Harper Lee. The story takes place in Alabama during the Depression in the early 20th century. Three kids, Scout, Dill and Jim like the Mockingbird, a kind of Finch.they use their eyes to 见证了一个个事件的发生和结局。 Which delving into humanity, 法制，正义，道义 and issues of society under the setting of America。

Something about humanity
The impressions of《To kill a mockingbird》
I saw this move in three weeks ago, I think this move is very outstanding work. It told us many good things about humanity. The move has a positive significance in the pursuit of racial equality, through the film we saw ourselves and see the good and evil of human nature. This move made me knew some truths. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest and frank anyway; the good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, be good anyway; you show sympathy for the weak, people still follow the strong, but you must justice for the weak.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest and frank anyway. Tom Robinson is a diligent and kind black people. In the south of the US there has very serious racial discrimination at that time. Tom knew the white people despise them. But when Mayella asked him for help. He still helps her generous. When Mayella and her father Bob Ewell frame him up. He never hates the white people. He just feels sorry for Mayella, a white woman. Tom Robinson is a very goodness people. He has many good qualities. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, be good anyway. The father in the move, Atticus, is a lawyer who was with a feeling for justice. He always helps helping others regardless of whether they have money. He help Walter Cunningham go to court and free of charge. But in order to kill Tom Robinson, Walter Cunningham wants to hurt Atticus. Fortunately the children comes and made angry farmers dispel the idea that to kill Tom Robinson. Atticus never want to takes revenge to those farmers including Bob Ewell so I think he is
a magnanimous person.
You show sympathy for the weak, people still follow the strong, but you must justice for the weak. Atticus as a white people to against racial discrimination at that time is very courageous. The racist in that town all hate him, after the court Bob Ewell tried to fight with him and hurt his children. Atticus still help the black people and poor people. The local black all respect him very much. I think these must to do to be a good father and lawyer. He methods of life, his philosophy and values have a deep influence on his children. I believe that Scout and Jem will become honest good people.
This novel is a precious relics is what I want to say. At that kind、elegant and simple in the US, this novel keeps the hope and emotion for the people. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest and frank anyway; the good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, be good anyway; you show sympathy for the weak, people still follow the strong, but you must justice for the weak. These things told me that there are many bad thing in the world; but there are also exist great things in the world. What we think, what we saw.
