To Kill a Mockingbird: Themes Activity of Packet #2

These are the themes in the packet. I've provided some hints to help you find quotes:
 
  1. Innocent people can be destroyed by contact with evil. Find quotes: Who are the innocent people? Who or what is evil or bad in this book? Find some quotes that show that the innocent are negatively influenced or affected by the bad.
  2. Education can both help and hinder. Find quotes: Who is being educated? Who is learning? What are they learning? Find some instances where the learning his helpful and some where the learning is hurting.
  3. A social hierarchy based on race and economic status serves no constructive purpose. Find quotes: How are the people of Maycomb separated by their economic status? How are the people of Maycomb separated by race? How do these separations help or benefit the people of Maycomb? (Spoiler alert: They don’t help. Find quotes that prove that these separations are hurtful.)
