shardin 's List: To Kill a Mockingbird

• Great Depression.
• • Think about the video clip we watched describing life during the depression. What was the general feeling of the people during the time?
• One of the central themes of To Kill a Mockingbird is the process of growing up and developing a more mature perspective on life. Correspondingly, the narrative gradually comes to mirror a loss of innocence, as the carefree childhood of this first chapter is slowly replaced by a darker, more dangerous, and more cynical adult story in which the children are only minor participants.
