I just done a research paper on this same story...\nA symbol of the story would be something that stands out to you throughout the story. \nTowards the beginning of the story, the narrator describes a painting of her father(?) drawn in crayon. It symbolizes her wanting to stay a child and for her father to continue to care for her.\nAt the end of the story, the townspeople find a single hair on the pillow next to her dead lover. She continued to lie beside him even after she had killed him. She found eternal love; which was something that wouldn't leaver her.\nTo actually start the paper, how many words, do you count all words but articles...\nI would start out the essay with a brief of the story. Give three symbols in which you could describe. I gave you two, so find one more...\nFor each of the three paragraphs, describe in detail of the symbol. Paragraph one, why do you think she wanted to stay a child? Paragraph two, whatever you find. Paragraph three, what was the meaning of the silver strand of hair.\nIn the last paragraph, sum up the paper. Tell what you felt about this story. Do not use the word you. Teachers will count against that. Make your story interesting.\nLast but not least, a works cited page. Make sure to cite all sources, there are plenty on this story. All your cites must be in alphabetical order.\nThat should be about it. If you have anymore questions feel free to write.

First choose a topic about school that you would like to write about.  Jot down ideas about that topic.  They don't have to be in sentences.  Think about how the rhythm of a sonnet goes, and begine putting things together.  \n\nHere are a few websites that might help you.  A couple of them have sonnets about school (don't just copy them).  Use them to help you write one of your own.  I think you can do it!\n\nI hope this helps.

To Kill a Mocking Bird (by Harper Lee) is written as from the perspective of an eight-year old girl - Scout.  \n\nAt this stage in the book, a new teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher, has already told Scout that her father should stop teaching her to read (although Scout is self-taught).  Miss Caroline and Scout were obviously on a collision course of sorts.\n\nAfter asking everyone who is having lunch at school to place their lunch at the front, Miss Caroline realises that Walter Cunningham has not brought his forward.  She pretty much forces him to say he had forgotten it, and then proceeds to offer him a quarter in order for him to buy his lunch - with the proviso that he returns the quarter the following day.  The Cunninghams are dirt poor farm people, and Walter never brings lunch to school, and certainly could never repay cash to Miss Caroline, so she has to keep prompting him to come and get the quarter.  He won't budge.  Everyone else is local and knows the circumstances of Walter's family ... and uneasily they say:\n\n"Go on and tell her, Scout".\n\n"I turned round and saw most of the town people and the entire bus delegation looking at me.  Miss Caroline and I had conferred twice already, and they were looking at me in the innocent assurance that familiarity breeds understanding."\n\n++++++++++\n\nI hope the above is of help.

How about writing about the problem of choosing a topic for your composition?  You could discuss how you used this site to help develop a topic and other ways you brainstormed topics...depending on the sense of humor of your teacher, and the specifics of the assignment, might make for a perfectly creative composition.\n\nGood luck.

From Bookrags  ( http://www.bookrags.com/notes/tkm/SUM.htm ) :\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story of Scout Finch and her brother, Jem, in 1930's Alabama. Through their neighborhood meanderings and the example of their father, they grow to understand that the world isn't always fair and that prejudice is a very real aspect of their world no matter how subtle it seems.\n\nThe summer when Scout was six and Jem was ten, they met Dill, a little boy who spent the summer with his aunt who lived next door to the Finches. Dill and Jem become obsessed with the idea of making Boo Radley, the neighborhood recluse, come out of his home. They go through plan after plan, but nothing draws him out. However, these brushes with the neighborhood ghost result in a tentative friendship over time and soon the Finch children realize that Boo Radley deserves to live in peace, so they leave him alone.\n\nScout and Jem's God-like father, Atticus, is a respected and upstanding lawyer in small Maycomb County. When he takes on a case that pits innocent, black Tom Robinson against two dishonest white people, Atticus knows that he will lose, but he has to defend the man or he can't live with himself. The case is the biggest thing to hit Maycomb County in years and it turns the whole town against Atticus, or so it seems. Scout and Jem are forced to bear the slurs against their father and watch with shock and disillusionment as their fellow townspeople convict an obviously innocent man because of his race. The only real enemy that Atticus made during the case was Bob Ewell, the trashy white man who accused Tom Robinson of raping his daughter. Despite Ewell's vow to avenge himself against Atticus, Atticus doesn't view Ewell as any real threat.\n\nTom Robinson is sent to a work prison to await another trial, but before Atticus can get him to court again, Tom is shot for trying to escape the prison. It seems that the case is finally over and life returns to normal until Halloween night. On the way home from a pageant, Bob Ewell attacks Jem and Scout in the darkness. After Jem's arm is badly broken, their ghostly neighbor, Boo Radley, rescues Scout and her brother. In order to protect Boo's privacy, the sheriff decides that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife while he was struggling with Jem. Boo Radley returns home never to be seen again.\n\nThrough the events of those two years, Scout learns that no matter their differences or peculiarities, the people of the world and of Maycomb County are all people. No one is lesser or better than anyone else because they're all people. She realizes that once you get to know them, most people are good and kind no matter what they seem like on the outside.

All good writing is rewriting.  I hope you have a good word processor, because it may take a dozen rewrites to submit your very best essay.\n\nStart by reading the description of what the scholarship board wants in the essay, and be sure to follow it closely.  Make the sentence structure as clean and simple as possible; don't run on and connect things with "and" and so on, or with punctuation, or anything else, the way this sentence does.  Cut out useless repetition, and don't repeat yourself (as this sentence does).  Go over it and over it and over it to avoid over-using the same word over and over.\n\nStick to the word limit provided, and come as close to it as you can.  If they want 500 words, they do not want 502, but they will love 498.\n\nSee what I mean?  All that you have been taught in all your English classes must come into play, and polish that little gem until it glows.  Sound idealistic, but not too idealistic; realism must be acknowledged.  Sound enthusiastic, flexible, honorable; pack every virtue into it that you can.  And don't forget to spell-check and proof-read the final draft.

I would first decide what the overarching theme was - what was the point?  How did the characters grow, or learn, or change?  Were there any counterpoints or sub-plots that reenforced that theme?  \n\nSecond, I would go into detail how the author developed the character, or characters, and the plots and sub/counter plots all in the effort to develop the theme.  This should be the main focus of the essay.  Describe how the theme(s) all come together to reach the author's intended conclusion\n\nNext and finally, I would give my criticism of the book.  Was the buildup enough.  Were the various plots resolved, were the various themes concluded?  Did the author effectively use imagry, plot movement, all the literary devices available to effectively get his/her theme across.  How successful was he?\n\nFinally, be sure to construct all of these into a standard essay.

Yes.\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a 1960 novel by Harper Lee, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It was made into an Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Gregory Peck by director Robert Mulligan in 1962. A coming-of-age story, it is told from the point of view of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, the young daughter of Atticus Finch, an educated lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama, a small town in the deep South of the United States. She is accompanied by her brother Jem and their mutual friend Dill.\n\nTruman Capote was a lifelong friend of childhood neighbor Lee, and allegedly was the inspiration for Dill's character in her best-seller. Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of her novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person—Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's— has gone on record as believing his assertions were true.\n\nThe title of the book is taken from Atticus's advice to his children about firing their air rifles at birds: "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". The blue jay is a very common bird, and is often perceived as a bully and a pest, whereas mockingbirds do nothing but "sing their hearts out for us". Metaphorically, several of the book's characters can be seen as "mockingbirds", attacked despite doing nothing but good. The mockingbird represents innocence, and to kill one is to metaphorically kill innocence. Note that the protagonists are also named after birds: Tom Robinson and the Finch family. However, "Finch" was also Lee's mother's maiden name.\n\nHarper Lee stated, "To get the ideas for the book I used recent events in my time like the Scottsboro Trials." (Harper Lee, Book Review, 1964)\n\nThe events of this book's publication and the following film are also subjects of the 2005 film Capote starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote and Catherine Keener as Harper Lee. It is also an excellent film and will likely be considered in one category or another for an Academy Award.

It will help to organize your essay and ensure you answer all parts of the question if you divide your paragraphs like the question.  You could have a paragraph about Mulan and Chinese History (writing about the Huns, emperors, methods of fighting, etc.), Mulan and Chinese Beliefs (beliefs about their ancestors, family roles, etc.), and Mulan and Chinese Culture (the tea with dinner, the house of the ancestors, the statues in the garden, the way Mulan is expected to act, etc.).  Because many of the categories overlap (ie. History/Culture and Culture/Beliefs) it will be easier to connect the ideas of your paragraphs.  Good Luck and I hope that helps!

Write about something you know, and dont try to use big words if they aren't necessary.  Use a great hook at the beginning but it's just an essay dont get carried away, just stay away from "Have you ever heard about......Well I'm going to tell you about...." or stupid introductions like that.  Make sure you use transitions in between paragraphs.  the last sentence of a paragraph should relate to the first sentence in the next paragraph.  \ndepending on the college, most have a writing center that have people there to help you get your ideas out on paper.  I suggest going there if you need help in the technical aspect of how to write it, if it is ideas on an open essay (you pick the topic) then just think about something you truely enjoy or are knowledgable about.
