’s Life To Her Nove “to Essay, Research Paper

To Kill A Mockingbird

By Harper Lee

What

similarities did Harper Lee?s life have with Scouts life?

In Harper Lee?s

story she writes about many things that happened to

her as a child. In the

story Harper is telling the story in the position scout is

in. Lee is actually

telling The story that she lived as a child. Her real life had

various similarities

to Scouts life. In this essay I will explain the similarities

of Harper Lee?s

life to Scouts life.

As Harper lee was growing up she lived in a sleepy

town named

Monroeville, Alabama. In this town she grew up hearing crazy stories

and

rumors which the townspeople would make up. As a child she also heard

a

lot of stories about ghosts, tall tales, and rumors. This reflects in her

story

with all the strange stories about Boo (Arthur) Radley.

At seven

years old she started writing and reading. Even before they

had taught her

these skills in school. She was an intellectual prodigy. She

was bored in

school and was much more intelligent than all the other kids. As

you remember

in the story Scout had learned to read and write way before all

the other

kids and Scout also was bored in school.

In real life Harper Lee was a tomboy.

In the story Scot was also a

Tomboy, she hadn?t even worn a dress until her

first day of school. Also

Harper?s best friend was here cousin Truman Capote.

Who is basically what

Dill (Charles Baker Harris) was in the book. Harper

was a child who for

some reason used rather adult words when she talked. If

you notice in the

book the vocabulary that Scout is using is complicated for

a child of merely

eight years old. She was also known to knock a boy down

and start fighting

with him. In the book Scout fought with a boy in two or

three occasions.

As a child Harper Lee and her cousin witnessed a KKK meeting.

For

Harper it was an experience that showed the evil in her community. This

experience

showed up in her book, where such comments like ?Niger Lover?

were displayed

by the characters in her book.

In this essay I have displayed examples of

how The book ?To Kill a

Mockingbird? compares to Harper Lee?s own childhood

experiences. I also

explained where some of the characters in the book compare

to people in her

real life.
