Outline: Can You Picture It?
Intro:
-How authors capture our attention by using literary devices.
-Thesis statement: Harper Lee used symbols, allegory, imagery and comparison in To Kill a Mockingbird to help the reader to understand the plot.
-Mockingbird, mad dog and Radley's Place.
First supporting point:
-Mockingbird as a symbol of innocence.
"it's a sin to kill a mockingbird" (p.90)
Second supporting point:
-Mad dog as a symbol of something evil and bad that no one has the courage to face like racism.
Flashbacks:
"I saw something only a lawyer's child could be expected to see, could be expected to watch for, and it was like watching Atticus walk into the street, raise a rifle to his shoulder and pull the trigger, but watching all the time knowing that the gun was empty" (p.211)
Third supporting point:
-Radley's Place as a place where no one wants to go to.
Conclusion:
-Summarize of the symbols, allegory and imagery and tell how their meaning help to understand the plot.
