Liddell, who insisted that he write the story down for her, and who served as

The mockingbird symbolizes these two characters because it does not have
its own song. Whereas, the blue jay is loud and obnoxious, the mockingbird

own song, we characterize it only by what the other birds sing. Hence, we
see the mockingbird through the other birds. In the novel, the people of
Maycomb only know Boo Radley and Tom Robinson by what others say about them.

Living, Loving, And Learning: Buscaglia Reflection
... town high schools, football coaches and P.E. teachers doubled
as Algebra teachers and Science teachers. This allowed our school to make full
use of the limited teachers and resources that it had. There was a lot of
talented people that taught at Juab and some of them made great teachers and
coaches, but some of them didn't. Sometimes it ended up that the football
coach/algebra teacher cared a little more about tomorrow's football game than he
did about ensuring his algebra students knew how to balance equations, and
