To Kill a Mockingbird is a timeless piece of literature that even throughout the years has not lost its powerful meaning. The powerful meaning that still speaks to readers today is reception of diversity, racial prejudice, and the child-like perception of human nature. Throughout the book these factors have been avidly present and continued to be reiterated until the very end.

Racial prejudice is probably the most prominent them throughout To Kill a Mockingbird. Tom Robinson illustrates this theme a little too well. He, along with every other African American at the time, were too easily stereotyped and written off as worthless scums. They were not given the opportunity to prove themselves. Atticus Finch seemed to be the only one to take notice of how malicious this was. He might have been the only one to even care. He even said “The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box. As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.” (Lee 295) Tom Robinson was very lucky to have someone like Atticus rooting for him for a change.

One of the main themes throughout the book is the reception of diversity. In other words, how humans accept other humans. A very prominent example is Tom Robinson. "I felt sorry for her, she seemed to try more 'n the rest of 'em" (Lee 197). This quote uncovers Tom’s genuine charisma. It shows even when he is being showcased in front of a jury, when the odds are undeniably against him; he enables himself to sympathize with Mayella. Other examples of accepting each other would be the kids and Boo Radley. Jem, Scout, and Dill never understood the ways of Boo Radley, yet they were still so intrigued by him, and eventually learned to accept his ways of life.

The way children understand the simplest things in life, that even grown adults have to contemplate is amazing. Nothing in particular is important to them which allow them to think less complicatedly. A million things go through an adults head when trying to understand something. Scout was very mature for age, and even more so Jem. Jem cried in the court room and had discussions with Atticus about the laws. He was very intellectual for his age. Atticus agreed when he said “So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses.... That proves something - that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human. Hmp, maybe we need a police force of children.” (Lee 158).

In conclusion, To Kill a Mockingbird will forever leave a tattoo on society, a permanently etched creation in to someone’s mind. In more ways than one, Harper Lee unveils the truth so many are afraid to talk about. While doing this she also touches on acceptance of differences and the childlike perception. All in all To Kill a Mockingbird is a timeless piece of literature that even throughout the years has not lost its powerful meaning. It always has been and it always will be.

I love english writing.. after reading it i can honestly say it was perfect. Your sentence structure is great. but i would indent on each of your paragraphs instead of having it like that. everything else sounds good.
ok i see lol. when im out of words and need extra word count what i do is just go into details like in the body of your paragraph. the problem isnt the beginning or conclusion just add on to the body. i would add more details about racial prejuidice.. try to fit it in where it doesnt seem random but it adds more words to ur paragraph or u could add a few more sentences about diversity in the third paragraph that talks about it. U can give a brief history of diversity then go on to put details about whats in the book. For example.. Diversity has always seperated mankind from getting along. u can go on to talk about the 1950s when diversity was predominant.. like brown vs board of education. I hope this helped!!

Do you need to change anything? I think that was good just the way it was. About the hair question(sorry I know your probably tired of hearing this.) I apologize. I thought of putting my personality traits in somewhere because that's important, and I put it in the wrong spot. I was trying to say this. I have jb hair blah blah blah and I've just began to realize that some girls may only like me for that. Actually I realized that a long time ago, but let's get to the point. So THEN I would put the personality traits. Sorry, its my fault for putting it in the completely wrong spot, I don't want to fight anymore. I'm not the kind of person it seems like I was the past 24 hours. Good luck on the report, its good :)

If you want a longer essay, just keep repeating yourself { but that is bad form.} Your essay is NOT perfect.

in Line 1, "timeless piece of literature" means "it has not lost its powerful meaning" so you are being redundant, so eliminate part 2 of L1, and then it is okay to say "Powerful meaning" at the start of L2. But you should find another way to end the essay than with "a timeless piece of literature" - so that you are not repeating yourself. ... including "powerful meaning."

In L2 I think you are looking for a word like acceptance* - because "reception" just does not seem right. - then you can eliminate the line "in other words...." * or not accept, or grapple with,,,, rejection<<maybe you wanted that word,. idk

being intrigued, and -accepting- are two different things. {people were intrigued by Dr Frankenstein's monster.}

"A MILLION [[ NO! - many, a myriad, dozens, scores,.... but not a million.]]

watch out for dropped words (at least on this edition)

match subject and verbs single/plural. "He [ i e T R] ,..., WAS .... scum [singular]. then replace "they" with African Americans {{are you not allowed to use the book's language and say "*****"?? }}

... and I disagree with your tattoo talk, but you may keep it. {I read the book 40 years ago, but I would not remember it if it was not so popular on Y!A.}

If you need a longer essay, talk about the truths HL brings up that so many people are afraid to talk about. There is plenty in and around the book to write many essays.
