I didn't really get motif at first. But now that i have read this book and seen some really good motifs in it i understand. Motif is something that kind of connects all the themes. Like the motif in this book would be mockingbird. There are many mockingbirds in this book, One of the many is Tom Robinson. He is an innocent man who got shot and died. This shows injustice, which is a major them in this book.

Another motif would be how Mr. Ewell attacked Jem and Scout. He did this out of his anger towards Atticus. The kids did not do anything they were just the mockingbirds in this situation. This represtents the major theme of Jem and Scout losing their innocents, because they aren't viewed as helpless , innocent children in this situation. Seeing the good examples of themes and motifs in this book is really gonna help me out in the future when i need to find motifs.

Life Lesson

When i was little and i had chores to do or homework to finish i would always wait till right before it had to be done, last minute. This worked sometimes, but other times i would have my stuff done late. My mom told never to wait till last minute. I used to think this rule was useless, I thought I cold get it all done last minute. I have always been very lazy and I procrastinate so much.

But, as I got older and especially now that I'm in high school I have learned that not waiting till the last minute is a very important life lesson. Having so much things to do and so much homework it is important that I get all my work done right away. This way I have times for sports and other activities. I am very glad my mom has taught me this lesson, it is definately something I will remember and use for the rest of my life,

Best friend

Ever since middle school Savvy Paeth has had my back. We fight and get annoyed with eachother, but i will always love her. she is very loud and always has something to say, but i am too so we fit together perfectly. She is a very enthusiastic and energetic girl filled with good intentions. She says random things and is almost always hyper. This is good because we always have an exciting time.

I don't remember how we met, but i am glad we did. She is the person I trust and go to for help. i will always have her back too. That is why we are best friends.
