Some of the salient pts of "To kill a mocking bird", according to me:\n1. Relationship between Scot (the girl) and Atticus Finch (father).\n2. Will displayed by Atticus to fight fearlessly for social justice (for blacks) against an indifferent society. \n3. "Growing up is learning" as exhibited through the characters of Scot and Jem Finch.\n4. Bringing up mother-less kids is a loving and balanced way as done by Atticus Finch.\n\nThere are a lot more really, if i sit to think of them. This is one of my favourite books.

oh, figurative devices like metaphor, simile, conceit, personification, hyperbole, onomatopeia, etc?\n\nmetaphor = "all the world's a stage" (a metaphor is when one thing designates or refers to another.\n\nconceit = an extended metaphor. Usually a conceit is the same recurring metaphor being used throughout an entire story\n\nsimile = comparing two different things using "like" or "as". (I was angry as a hornet) or (furious like a bull). these don't require a whole lot of skill, anybody can do them.\n\npersonification = giving a non-human thing (animal, tree, building, etc.) human characteristics. (The tower stood menacingly over the once-rural landscape)\n\nhyperbole = basically, extreme exaggeration used to get a point across. (He has the strength of a million men and twice the tenacity)\n\nonomatopeia = using words that sound like what they are. (boom! zap! pow!). This is a common feature used by children's authors and Juvenilia literature.

You could actually apply that quote to almost any book.  For example, what are the hidden agendas or themes in books such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Night, The Diary of Ann Frank, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, etc.  Most authors whisper little messages to us through their writing.  Not all their messages are up front and obvious.

C is nearest.\n\nBut of the literary forms, I associate conventions with plays not novels. e.g. the Fourth Wall convention, that in a naturalistic play\n\n(1) the audience is looking in silently on real people, who are unaware of their presence\n\n(2) we all know that the actors are pretending to be the characters they play, but we pretend to believe that the characters are "real people". This is known as the Suspension of Disbelief.\n\n(3) If we see a scene in a straight play in which one character is about to kill another, we don't shout out "Look out behind you!", that is only done in pantomime (in which characters talk directly to the audience, listen to it, interact with it and there is no fourth wall).

Long Bow (from which the 'giving the bird' symbolism of sticking 2 fingers up at an enemy is derived - give me 10 points and I'll expand on that in the comments bit for you), balister (a form of large Roman crossbow), short sword, broadsword, halberd and pike.\nLancashire won, and remains the centre of civilisation and Gods own country, Yorkshire being famous for its pudding. UK residents are reminded of this in the mnemonic for the colours of the rainbow; Richard (Red) Of(Orange) York(Yellow) Gave(Green) Battle(Blue) In(Indigo) Vain(Violet).
