Motif

In the beginning of the year i did not even know what motif is! I was thinking to myself wow i feel really dumb. When i did the summer assignment i sort of got what it meant when we had to look it up and give examples but it took me a while. So when i found out that we were doing motif for To Kill a Mockingbird i didn't know what i was going to do since i didn't understand it.

To Kill a Mockingbird really helped me understand motif since you explained it a little more than it was to me before. I got to have examples and do it myself so it helped me really understand the concept of motif. The motif in To Kill a Mockingbird would be "Its a sin to kill a mockingbird" There is a quote in the book that says "Well it'd be sort of like killing a mockingbird, wouldn't it?" Which is referring to the possible bad things that could happen in a situation.
