How cool is it, when your assignments involve watching movies :D We had to watch To kill a mocking bird and create beat boards from it .The 10 most important panels that tell the story.  I'm finally encouraged to watch older classics after watching this one.


For people who haven't watched the movie, the story is about a little girl Scout and Atticus, played by Gregory Peck who is her widowed father. Scout, her elder brother and their friend are terrified and fascinated by their neighbour, the reclusive Boo Radley. Boo radley has a reputation of being crazy and dangerous. Few people have seen him for years since he is always confined to his house. Scout shares a very close relationship with her father who tells her to look at life through the other person's point of view before judging them. A lesson she ends up learning due to the events that follow. Atticus is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man who has been accused of raping a young white woman. Atticus establishes that the accusers, the white woman and her father are lying. Despite significant evidence of Tom's innocence, the jury convicts him, as a result of the racial injustice prominent in the society at the time. Despite Tom's eviction, the white man is humiliated by the events of the trial and he vows revenge from Atticus. Initially he tries to provoke and insult Atticus. Finally he attacks his children while they walk back home on a dark night after the school Halloween pageant.A mysterious man comes to their rescue and saves the children by killing the white man.It turns out that this man is Boo Radley. Atticus thanks Boo Radley for saving his children. To kill a mocking bird is to destroy innocence. Through out the movie characters like Boo Radley, Tom Robinson  and Scout's brother can be identified as mocking birds who have been injured through contact with evil.
