This essay will look at how the quietest people are often the most powerful.

Harper Lee's
work To Kill a Mockingbird was initially published in 1960 and reissued in 1988 by McIntosh
and Otis. To Kill a Mockingbird's title has virtually little literal relevance to the storyline, but it
holds a lot of metaphorical significance throughout the book. The "Mockingbird" comes to
embody the notion of innocence in this narrative of innocents being destroyed by wickedness. To
kill a mockingbird is thus to destroy innocence. Many people believe that quiet people are
ignorant and that they do not dare to speak out because they are unaware of what is going on, yet
quiet individuals prefer to listen closely and wait for the right opportunity to make a credible
argument. This essay will look at the writer's selection of style, character, theme, setting, conflict
resolution, and techniques, as well as the concerns expressed by Harper Lee in her novel, such as
how people believe quiet people do not think, how quiet people do not speak up because they are
behind everyone else, and how quiet people are dull and dry.
