To Kill A Mockingbird
THEME- THE COMING OF AGE
Famous Quote
“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Real World Application
We can learn that everybody growns up at one point in their lives and we need to understand that it is best for children to know what is coming their way and how the world around them is/ works. Telling your children what goes on in the world will better prepare them for life.
