As times change, so should the style of parenting, so that parents can teach their children about the modern world and its beliefs, so as not to perpetuate the more ancient views of their parents.
How would I go about proving it in an essay?Parenting as a theme in To Kill A Mockingbird?
You could prove this by pointing out Atticus's unique ways of raising his children compared to the rest of the adults in the town. Then talk about how the children might have grown up if they were raised by the more general adults of Maycomb.
Also, put in what the other adults have learned from Atticus. they all respect him. But also they learned from Scout. Take the time a mob came to kill Tom Robinson but Scout without even knowing persuaded them not to.
Eh?Parenting as a theme in To Kill A Mockingbird?
Lol then why did you make my answer the best answer if it was terrible? =)
Report Abuse
you could use the examples of the two most contrasting parents - Atticus and Bob Ewell - and give evidence that Atticus' children, Scout and Jem, grew up better than the Ewell children.
techniques:
- contrast
- emotive language / imagery to paint the picture of each family's lives
- the context in which it was written; Harper Lee knew that it was unjust treatment, but that times and values did eventually change, so the audience can see that Atticus was in the right.
hope that helps! =)
