GCSE: English Literature: Prose Fiction: By Author: Harper Lee Coursework

"I think that this is a very good essay, with only a few small mistake but otherwise goodwork"

"Once again I think that this is a good atempt, here and there, there are a number of errors e.g. the writer says 'you have to be white and rich to fit into Maycomb' this is not quite right, if you met this description then, yes, you would be in the upper echilon of Maycomb's society and if yo were poor and black you would be at the very bottom of Maycomb's society; most people however would be somewhere in between. In other words anyone could fit in somewhere."

"information in this essay is incorrect"

"I think this was a good essay but I am not quite sure if it fully answered the question as 'To what extent is To Kill a Mocking Bird a novel about prejudice,' It covered most if not all the example of racial prejudice present in the book, but did it really address the question - To what extent... I don't think so since it quoted too much about the instances of prejudiced in the book and not nearly enough about the business of 'extent,' A better conclusion to this essay would have helped "

"I think there is an important point missing in this essay namely, the reason why Harper Lee told the story from a childs point of view is because a child has no prejudices and so the writer can not be accused of being prejudiced one way or the other. The really clever thing about using Scout as the narrator is the case against prejudice is perceived in the mind of the reader."
