In Other Words
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
with Andy Andrews
To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most important — and most quoted — novels in American literature. In this In Other Words, we walk through Harper Lee’s story of Maycomb, Alabama: the trial of Tom Robinson, and the lawyer who defends him simply because his conscience won’t let him do otherwise. Whether you’ve never opened the book or just want to remember why it matters, here’s the story, the meaning, and the moment behind “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” Includes discussion questions for the classroom, homeschool, or the dinner table.

QUESTION 1
Atticus tells Scout, “The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”
When have you seen someone in real life stand up for what’s right—even when it wasn’t the popular thing to do? What did you learn from that? -
QUESTION 2
Scout and Jem lose some of their childhood innocence when they see the unfair verdict for Tom Robinson. Why do you think growing up sometimes means facing hard truths? Can you think of a time when you realized the world wasn’t as fair as you thought? -
QUESTION 3
Atticus shows courage by doing what’s right, even when he knows he might lose. What does real courage look like to you? Is it always about winning, or something else?
