HERE’s my friends essay:

As the imaginative Stephen King once said, “Symbolism exists to adorn and enrich, not to create an artificial sense of profundity.” In Harper Lee’s award-winning, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout and Jem live in Maycomb, Alabama, where they witness the town’s racist tendencies and unjust habits. Jem, a brave and courageous boy ends up breaking his arm trying to save Scout from dangerous people in the town. Where Boo Radley, a shy and misjudged man saves the children from the attack, representing The Gray Ghost. A town where people like Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are criticized because of their differences, when in fact they are innocent just like mockingbirds. By examining symbols in To Kill a Mockingbird it is evident that as Jem and Scout grow older they realize many things in their life have a deeper meaning than they may think.

To start off, Jem’s broken arm is a symbol of many things in this novel. It symbolizes how things like the church, education, and court systems are all broken and need to be fixed. The book starts off with Scout saying this “When he was nearly thirteen my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow” (Lee 3). This depicts that Jem broke his arm trying to protect Scout from Bob Ewell’s attack. His arm symbolizes how the trial of Tom Robinson has turned the town upside down. This is how Scout describes what happened...
Jem found me and started pullin’ me toward the road. Some – Mr. Ewell yanked him down, I reckon. They tussled some more and then there was this funny noise – Jem hollered (…). That was Jem’s arm. (Lee 361).
This represents how Jem, someone who did nothing wrong got hurt because of what was wrong in the town. His broken arm shows that people need to change their opinions on things, in order for society to change and move on.

The Gray Ghost is another very important symbol in this book. The story represents how you never really know someone until you understand what they are going through. It symbolizes how the children had once imagined Boo Radley to be. The main character in The Gray Ghost was very misunderstood and turned out to be good once people saw who he really was. When Scout sees this book, she asks Atticus to read it and tells him that she is not afraid. This is a symbol of how Scout is growing up and is not scared of Boo anymore. At the end, Scout describes how the main character was accused of something they never did, just like Tom. She goes on to say...
An’ they chased him ‘n’ never could catch him ‘ cause they didn’t know what he looked like, an’ Atticus, when they finally saw him, why he hadn’t done any of those things… Atticus, he was real nice… (Lee 376).
This showcases how Boo Radley was misjudged by many people even though he showed countless acts of kindness. Such as putting presents in the tree for Jem and Scout, putting a blanket on Scout, and saving them from Bob’s attack. Atticus agrees with Scout by saying “Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them” (Lee 376). This relates to how Atticus had once told Scout that you could never understand someone until you saw things from their point of view.

The main symbol in To Kill a Mockingbird are mockingbirds. This is what inspired the title of this novel. It symbolizes how mockingbirds are innocent and should not be hurt, just like certain people in the town. Miss Maudie once said...
Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why its a sin to kill a mockingbird (Lee 119).
There were 3 distinct mockingbirds in this book, Tom Robinson, Mayella Ewell, and Boo Radley. Tom Robinson, was an innocent man put on trial just because of the colour of his skin. He eventually died because of this and was hurt for no reason. Mr. Underwood “likened Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters (…) ” (Lee 323). Tom’s trial was very unfair and people knew the minute he walked into the court that he would be convicted solely based on the colour of his skin. Boo Radley is also a mockingbird of this novel that is always misunderstood. Heck Tate describes it like this...
All the ladies in Maycomb includin‘ my wife’d be knocking on his door bringing angel food cakes. To my way of thinkin’, Mr. Finch, taking the one man who’s done you and this town a great service an’ draggin’ him with his shy ways into the limelight – to me, that’s a sin. It’s a sin and I’m not about to have it on my head (Lee 369-370).
This is an example of how Boo Radley was a mockingbird because his differences made people judge him. Boo is a shy person who doesn’t like attention. Heck Tate acknowledges this and realizes that if people knew Boo killed Bob Ewell and saved the

Read the passage below from The First Men in the Moon.

From the westward the light of the unseen sun fell upon them, reaching to the very foot of the cliff, and showed a disordered escarpment of drab and grayish rock, lined here and there with banks and crevices of snow. This was perhaps a dozen miles away, but at first no intervening atmosphere diminished in the slightest the minutely detailed brilliancy with which these things glared at us. They stood out clear and dazzling against a background of starry blackness that seemed to our earthly eyes rather a gloriously spangled velvet curtain than the spaciousness of the sky.

Read the excerpt from Act III of Julius Caesar. (The scene continues, as Caesar enters with Mark Antony, followed by the nervous conspirators. A crowd of five or six people arrives to give Caesar scrolls or pe­titions as he walks along. It is his morning mail. All are watched by Artemidorus and the strange Soothsayer, who has put himself in Caesar's path. )
Announcer 2: It is now the fatal fifteenth day of March, the ides of March. Caesar: (To the Soothsayer, as a scornful joke) The ides of March are come. (He laughs lightly. )
Soothsayer: (Raising his hands to the skies in warning. ) Ay, Caesar, but not gone. (Caesar frowns. )
Artemidorus: (Pushing the Soothsayer to one side, he shouts. ) Hail, Caesar! (He puts his scroll into Cae­sar's hands. ) Read this schedule. Decius: (Putting another scroll into Caesar's hands) Trebonius doth desire you to read his suit. Artemidorus: 0 Caesar, read mine first. (He shrieks with fear. ) Read it instantly. Caesar: (Frowning) What, is the fellow mad? (As Decius pushes Artemidorus away, Caesar goes to the center of the stage, close to Pompey's statue. )
Cassius: (Nervously to Gasca, who is to stab Caesar first. ) Casca, be sudden, for we fear prevention. Brutus: (Calming Cassius) Cassius, be constant. Why does Artemidorus push aside the Soothsayer in Act III ?
He believes that the Soothsayer is a fool who does not have the ability to predict future events. He is rushing to get to Caesar so that he can fight off the conspirators and save Caesar. He wants to reach Caesar before the conspirators do so that he can warn Caesar of their plan. He thinks that the Soothsayer is one of the men who is planning to murder Caesar
