What It Takes To Be BraveMrs. Herndon

English 4th Block

Dear Reader,

The message from “To kill a mockingbird” is to be brave, courageous. I chose this theme because the book revolved around taking chances. Dill showed bravery by running away from home. He was courageous in going out in the world alone. He hoped his absence from home would encourage his mother to care for him. In the end, Dill’s mother became worried about his whereabouts. Some challenges Dill faced were stealing his mother’s money, walking, and taking the bus alone to the Finch’s house. My perspective of the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” is very upright; it takes bravery and courage to prove your point. I would read it again.

Theme

The school will be holding a

bake sale fundraiser to help her find Dill.

All students please bring a baked item to school for this event.

The prices of the baked goods will start at 10 cents.

The bake sale will start promptly after school in the cafeteria.

Donations and volunteers are welcome.

Fund-raiser

Amber Alert: A kid by the name of Charles Baker “Dill” Harris is missing. He goes by the nickname Dill. He is the approximately six years old. It is believed that Dill has run away from home. If you have seen this young boy please contact Maycomb Police Center at 434-567-8910.

Dear Mom, If you haven’t noticed, I have ran away from

home. You were not paying me any attention, so I figured you would not notice if I left. I will feel more appreciated if you showed me more affection, rather then your new husband. I am writing this letter to let you know that I am fine. I have made my way to Maycomb. If you need me I will be at Mr. Finch’s house.

-Love Dill

Letter
