TKAM Literary Analysis
For the past few weeks in English class we have been working on a literary analysis paper for To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. My main focus was allusions, they are used frequently through out the story. Without allusions one would not be able to make connections as well because allusions make references. There are multiple types of allusions, I used historical, literary and biblical. These are the main ones in this novel and help describe events such as Miss Maudie's face when she is talking about grass. She gets upset because one thing of bad grass can ruin a whole town's. The plague is used to help describe her expression. This would be a biblical allusion because it refers back to it. There are many other allusions present in this novel, Harper Lee used them well.
