Question by Shmoo: How is “To Kill a Mockingbird” associated with Mental Illness?
I am doing a research report on To Kill a Mockingbird and my topic is “Mental illness.” I’m not really sure what I am doing but I have to make electronic note cards on each source I use. So please list your sources.

They cannot be anything like Wikipedia or a blog. It has to be legitimate.
Also, our class has only gotten through the first half of the book. Is there more information later on? Should I just finish the book now and then do my sources?

I studied this book for my A-Levels. I suggest reading the whole book as more comes to light the further you are through it.
Its a fantastic story and alot of illness issues are risen. Good luck but do read the book, atleast then your answers are your own insights and not someone elses!

Answer by crazytanak
yes you should finnish the book! never ask a question as to how something relates to a book if you havent even finnished reading the book! wait until you have finnished reading, and then if you still dont get it ask again.
