How does the author use literary terms?
answers (3)
Mahalo's page on To Kill a Mockingbird includes links to 5 study guides, as well as other resources that may help with this assignment.
Well there are a lot of literary terms out there, and Harper Lee probably covers many of them. Check out SparkNotes for a basic understanding of motifs, symbols, and themes, then check out the list of literary terms below and what they mean. See if you can think of anything that matches from your reading. Good Luck.

If you have to do an analysis, the best start is to ask yourself, what do you really care about or find interesting in this book? Then, come up with and opinion that not everyone would have. You might have an opinion about why a character does something, why the author talks about killing a mockingbird or other symbols, or about how a character changes throughout the book.
Then Write an paragraph that starts with something interesting and then explains what your opinion is. Don't use the word "I." This is your intro.
Then, think of 3 or 4 parts of the book that you could use to argue your opinion, and for each write a paragraph where you explain what happens in this part of the book and why it means that your opinion makes sense.
Then repeat your main point and sum up what you'e said.
Now you've written an analysis paper!
Just be sure to follow ALL the instructions you are given. Every teacher is a little different, so try to follow all their tips as well.

I've found that Shmoop has the most in-depth and mutlt-dimensional study guides. And they're also quite fun to read. They include audio, video, photos, movies, weblinks, pop culture references, trivia, etc. They're written by Ph.D. and Masters students from Stanford and Berkeley. Check out their guide to To Kill a Mockingbird, including a section specifically on To Kill a Mockingbird Literary Devices
