To Kill a Mockingbird
When I was reading this book, I found that the theme was not hidden like most books I have read; that the theme was in plain view of sight. I also found that if you read this book more than once that more and more will be revealed to you.
I soon understood the title of the book. I believe the main theme of To Kill a Mockingbird is not to judge others. I now understand why the book is called To Kill a Mockingbird. In the story they say it is a sin to kill a mockingbird because it does not cause any harm, it just sits and sings its song taking nothing in return. I think in this case Tom Robinson is the mockingbird.
Here are some common types of discrimination: sex or gender, age, height and weight, clothes, “looks”, popularity, strength, sexual preference, grades, and actions. I do not think some people realize what and/or how much damage they are causing to a persons self esteem, lives, and choices.
I think that because it happened once and a kid was picked on, he or she might think that this is normal so they will do it to others when they are older. So don't follow in that one persons foot steps, just remember what it feels like to be discriminated.
One way to stop this problem is to stand up for what is right and stand up for those who are picked on or made fun of. However, many do not feel comfortable putting themselves in that position, so another option is to tell an adult or someone you trust. If you are being picked on the best defense is to not respond. When a person responds, they are giving more power to the intimidator. Bullies enjoy getting a reaction out of their victim, when one does not give it to them, they eventually will realize that their taunting is fruitless, and will soon stop.
