Which paragraph best explains the meaning of the title To Kill a
Mockingbird and how it relates thematically to characters in the
novel.
A. The title of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird refers to birds which do no harm and therefore should not be killed. The mockingbird represents innocent people who are wrongly subjected to pain. The main mockingbirds in the novel are Tom Robinson and Boo Radley because both are hurt by society even though both are good men. Tom is killed even though he did not hurt Mayella; his only crime was that he was a black man who pitied a white girl. Boo Radley only wants to protect Scout and Jem from the evil Bob Ewell. Boo is a good man who should not face a trial just because he cares about Scout and Jem. Clearly, the title of the novel helps readers understand the theme of the story: Do not harm innocents.
B. The title of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird refers to the need to kill dangerous animals and people. Mockingbirds, rabid dogs, and evil men can hurt innocent people. This is shown in the book when townspeople chase off annoying mockingbirds, Atticus kills a rabid dog, and Boo Radley kills Bob Ewell. All three acts of violence are necessary to protect society. Clearly, the title of the novel helps readers understand the theme of the story: Violence is sometimes necessary.
C. The title of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird refers to the decision people must make about whether or not to use violence. The mockingbird represents the choice between discussion and action. The main mockingbirds in the novel are Scout and Boo because both are innocent. Scout thinks everyone has some good within; she is able to face down the mob at the jail without resorting to violence. Boo Radley only wants to be left alone, but he ends up deciding to fight Bob Ewell to save Scout and Jem. Clearly, the title of the novel helps readers understand the theme of the story: When words don’t work, use violence.
