Movie Trailer to "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Series of e-mails between Scout and Miss Maudie

from: Scout Finch
to: Miss Maudie

Hi Miss Maudie,
I write you this email because I can't stop thinking about the judgment against Tom Robinson and need to talk to somebody about this. I hope you don't mind. It is so obvious that he is innocent so why did the jury find him guilty and why am I the only one who recognizes it? I already tried to figure it out but couldn't come to any explanation for this unfair judgment. I hope you can help me with my request and write me back.

Your neighbour
Scout

Diary entry by Boo Radley

Dear Diary,

I already told you about those two nice children Scout and Jem, who always play around my house. I made them two figures carved in soap and put it in the knothole where i always leave my presents for them. And every now and then I also gave them chewing gum, a spelling bee medal and a pocket watch. I guess they don't now that those gifts are from me, since i never go outside and they probably don't even know that I live here. Presumably I will never get a thank from them, but that is okay. I had fun by making them happy. I didn't tell you yet that my brother Nathan found out that i get in contact with the outer world and so he filled it with cement. That is actually everything interesting that happened to me today...

Song lyrics

The Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo!


Summer's gone, day's spent with the grass and sun,
I dont mind, to pretend i do seems really dumb.
I rise as the morning comes, crawling through the blinds,
I shouldn't be up at this time, but i cant sleep with you there by my side.

Wake up its a beautiful morning,
Feel the sun shining for your eyes.
Wake up its so beautiful,
For what could be the very last time.

Twenty five, don't recall a time i felt this alive,
So wake up boo, there's so many thing's for us to do.
Its early so take your time, don't let me rush you please,
I know i was up all night,i can do anything, anything, anything.

Wake up its a beautiful morning,
Feel the sun shining for your eyes.
Wake up its so beautiful,
For what could be the very last time.

Dear Harper Lee,

My name is Joshua Barbian, I am from Germany and go to a school in Berlin called Königin-Luise-Stiftung. In order to create a blog about a novel for my English lessons I’ve chosen “To Kill a Mockingbird” and read it recently. I already heard a lot about your novel and since it’s a classic I had high expectations, which where even exceeded by the depth and amount of several important themes this novel contains. I was so thrilled by your novel that I decided to write you a letter to give you my opinion about your work.
