To Kill a Mocking Bird

To Kill a Mocking Bird is classic written by Harper Lee. It's a Coming-of-age story filled with drama. Its purpose is to show the world the injustice of prejudice by putting it in the eyes of a child.

Summary:
--Scout, Jem, and Dill become fascinated with their mysterious neighbor Boo Radley and have an escalating series of encounters with him. Meanwhile, Atticus is assigned to defend a black man, Tom Robinson against the spurious rape charges Bob Ewell has brought against him. Watching the trial, Scout, and especially Jem, cannot understand how a jury could possibly convict Tom Robinson based on the Ewells’ clearly fabricated story. Despite Atticus’s capable and impassioned defense, the jury finds Tom Robinson guilty. The verdict forces Scout and Jem to confront the fact that the morals Atticus has taught them cannot always be reconciled with the reality of the world and the evils of human nature. When word spreads that Tom Robinson has been shot while trying to escape from prison, Jem struggles to come to terms with the injustice of the trial and of Tom Robinson’s fate. After making a variety of threats against Atticus and others connected with the trial, Bob Ewell assaults Scout and Jem as they walk home one night, but Boo Radley saves the children and fatally stabs Ewell. The sheriff, knowing that Boo, like Tom Robinson, would be misunderstood and likely convicted in a trial, protects Boo by saying that Ewell tripped and fell on his own knife. After sitting and talking with Scout briefly, Boo retreats into his house, and Scout never sees him again.

To Kill a Mocking Bird is a classic.
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." Is a common quote from To Kill a Mocking Bird.

mockortunity

A fake opportunity usually used by a supervisor as a means to get you to do something extra with minimal chance of any real benefit.

My boss told me that she had a terrific opportunity for me that would enhance my career. After she told me about it though, it sounded more like a mockortunity to me.

Mockscene

Mockscene or MökS33n is a group of people who go to shows and mosh but are not scene kids, they wear band shirts and mosh. Because of the "scene" of band shirts most have taken to writing the name of the band on a shirt themselves with a sharpie. They are often called Posers by Scene kids. They Mock the scene by making up MökS33n names that show how they don't care about being cool like Patrick Poser, Tina Tries2hard, Nick Notcool. Most MökS33Neers do not use thier myspace often, theydon't add people they don't know

Scene Kid"Hey check out that guy in the pit he is such a scene poser"

MockS33ner "No Way he doesn't care about being cool, he hates scene kids he's total Mockscene."
