You may not have read this book, but you must have heard the sentence somewhere: Bravery is that you know you will lose before you even start, but you still have to do it, and you have to stick to it anyway.
This is a story in which children grow up knowing their fathers, getting to know their fathers, and learning from their fathers. The name of the book is "Killing a Mockingbird", so what exactly is a mockingbird and why should it be killed? Together, we go to the book with such questions to find answers.
The story of the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" takes place in the Great Depression in the United States, and there is still serious racial discrimination, and some strange but reasonable things are destined to happen in such a complex context.
This book mainly tells 2 stories, and we will talk about one of them, about the truth about the black case.
At the beginning of the story, the sister takes the poor little friend to the house to eat, but the child pours a whole plate of jam, and the sister accuses the little friend of not doing that, but is taken to the kitchen by the nanny of the family to educate. The sister was very aggrieved, and the father told the sister: You can never really evaluate a person until you really understand him.
At this time, the sister seemed to understand her father's words, but another thing made the sister finally understand the meaning of these words. One day mad dogs roamed the town, causing a lot of panic among the people. When the town's sheriff arrives, he gives the gun to his father, who shoots the mad dog, and the children learn that he is a sharpshooter, and then they realize that even their father does not really understand, let alone anyone else.
The reason why my father did not shoot for more than ten years was because he had inadvertently killed a mockingbird before, and he was particularly remorseful and never shot again.
Robins sing to us and do nothing bad. They don't eat the flowers, fruits and vegetables in people's gardens, they don't make nests in corn silos, they just faithfully sing for us. That's why killing a mockingbird is a sin.
In the context given in the book, although black slavery in the United States was abolished, racial discrimination was still the most serious area here, and the discrimination left over from history had long been integrated into the blood of blacks, making white people feel superior. Blacks had no legal protection in the local area and could be executed at will.
This is a ridiculous case in which a black man is accused of insulting a white woman, and the plaintiff's testimony shows that the victim has marks of being beaten, the wound on the right side of his face is obvious, and there are marks of strangling on the neck, and no test report has been presented in court from beginning to end, because they firmly believe that black people are inherently evil.
His father's work of defending the Negro was destined to be difficult, and with it ridicule and intimidation, and his sister fought with his classmates at school, saying that his father had courted the Negro and ridiculed him, although the young sister did not understand, but looking at the ridicule of her classmates, it was certain that it was not a good word.
The sister did not understand, since everyone was against the father to do this, why did he still do it, the father replied seriously, because this is the right thing, even if he knows that he will lose, he still has to do it, and no matter what, he must stick to it to the end, if he does not stand up for justice, he will no longer be able to look the children in the eyes, which is also the real courage he gave to the children.
After the father in "To Kill a Mockingbird" takes his children to understand the complexity and dirtiness of the world, he still firmly tells them to uphold goodness and justice.
The father sets an example for the children with his words and deeds, not to bind them, not to teach them deliberately, but to let them see, to hear, to think, to feel. As he said, "I present to you the world as it is, ugly and good, and I act according to my heart, even if there are so many gossip." As for right and wrong, it is up to you to judge for yourself. "This is the right way for parents to choose, not to hide ugliness, nor to hide human nature."
So as a parent, what kind of education do you have? Is it to protect the child? Or do you not hide ugliness or humanity like the parents in the text? But I believe that you must have your own way of education, welcome to leave a comment in the comment area to discuss.
