Explain. en-us 2019-03-12 18:42:22 UTC 2026-03-10 16:24:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lovecoffee.png tmcgee6 https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340586876 The mockingbird symbolizes innocence, so the title means that innocence is being killed or destroyed. Throughout the book, there are several characters who can be viewed as mockingbirds, such as Jem, Tom Robinson, Dill, and Boo Radley. This means that they are innocents who are damaged or destroyed by evil.  
Atticus says on page 119: "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to 🤬 a mockingbird." A paragraph later Miss Maudie expounds: "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy...they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us." ]]> 2019-03-12 18:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340586876 21lundeene https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340973030 In "The Color Purple" Celie writes letter to god about her life and eventually she starts writing letters to her sister Nettie because she thinks it will be more beneficial for her. When she tells Shug Avery this, a confident, talented woman, Shug informs her about the value of appreciating the little things that god has given us. Shug says, "I think it 🤬God off when you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." She is saying that religion isn't all about praying or going to church. It's about noticing and appreciating the little things in life and experiencing everything god has put into this world for us. For Celie, the color purple is empowering for herself because, earlier in the book, her husband would not let her wear purple because "it would stick out too much." ]]> 2019-03-13 16:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340973030 https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340974665 Ghost boys shows that the African American boys who were killed because they were "dangerous".

The title shows that they all have something in common with their deaths and how to get used to everything.

Jin has always seen himself as an American kid, and near the end of the book you find out that Danny's story is still Jin's story and that he sees his ancestry as a handicap. the reason this book is titled Chinese born American is because Jin feels more like an American than he feels Chinese and he feels like he is an American born in the body of a Chinese boy.

When the animals took over the farm they wanted to rename the farm, from Manor Farm to Animals farm. "Then Snowball (for it was Snowball who was best at writing) took a brush between the two knuckles of his trotter, painted out MANOR FARM from the top bar of the gate an in it's place painted ANIMAL FARM." All this happened when Mr.Jones is knocked out of power and the animals actually get to do what they want. So on a farm ran by animals they thought is was appropriate to name it Animal Farm.]]> 2019-03-13 16:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340975124 21smedemac https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340975226 Animal farm is the title of this book because at first Mr. Jones who is a farmer controlled the farm and had some care for the animals. But now that the animals took the power away from the farm, the farm is controlled by mostly the pigs. Napoleon and Snowball are the pigs. Mr. Jones tried getting power back but will not succeed in it. Napoleon has 9 dogs that watch the farm all of the time. The animals  have had control over the farm ever since the animals took it over. It doesn't look like Mr. Jones will ever come back. When Mr. Jones had the power on the farm, he was not taking good care of the animals. He was not feeding the animals and doing the right things to treat the animals nicely. It all changed when the animals took over. After the Rebellion, the animals got to become free and not be slaves like Mr. Jones had made them. The title "Animal Farm" also shows how the animals got to control the farm. On page 43, It shows the 7 commandments that the animals came up with. They made 7 commandments that they had to follow and they would be punished if they didn't do them. Napoleon and Snowball were the leaders on the farm. They got to do the things that Mr. Jones had did before. In one of the chapters, when the pigs had control, they got to sleep in the beds with sheets.

(The rebellion started on page 38.) It show for their freedom and equality. Its meaning is to stand out to all that they will be slaves no more and to show pride in what they are doing.

This is her main way of writing the book and she believes in god with full faith. When she starts to think about Nettie, though, her faith wavers. Now, instead of writing to god, she writes to Nettie because she believes that writing to Nettie will do more good than writing to god. When Celie talks to Shug about this Shug immediately tries to explain her views on religion to Celie. Shug talks about religious independence and making the religion work for you. Shug tells Celie that even though she doesn't pray a lot, she still recognizes and appreciates god. The title, "The Color Purple" comes from when Shug tells Celie to appreciate the little things in her life, such as a "blade of corn" or "the color purple". Shug believes that those things were created by god to be appreciated by humans. A lot of this book is about Celie's internal struggles, one example is her struggle with her own religion. The book preface explains this very well. The title is about how Celie deals with internal struggles of all kinds, using her struggle with god as an example.]]> 2019-03-13 16:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340976154 21knollj https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340977533 The title behold the dreams is incorporated in my book it when it explains the dream of and amaerican and how you can be so much more in amaerica then in other countries another way the title interwind in the book is how is says that there will be set back and you have to hold your dreams to get to what your dream is and how you have to fight for it ]]> 2019-03-13 16:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/340977533 21jordant https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/341035294 Very quickly upon starting the book, you see one of a few ways the title relates to the book: a central theme of the book is hate. Hate is the likely cause of the main conflict. In addition to this, the first letters of the title spell THUG, which is how Khalil is viewed by the media as. Later in the book, the title is dropped by a character explaining the phrase "Thug Life": "The Hate U Give Little Infants F***s Everybody", meaning that hatred is something you are taught, not something you are born with. ]]> 2019-03-13 18:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/341035294 21vacher https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/341035438 Mockingbirds are viewed in Maycomb as innocent creatures. Atticus says on page 119, "it's a sin to 🤬 a mockingbird." Mockingbirds only sing; they aren't bothering anyone. Killing one would indicate your cruelty for all life, even the most innocent. These thoughts on mockingbirds are applied to the court case for Tom Robinson. (AT THIS POINT IN THE BOOK, I BELIEVE THIS) Tom didn't commit the crime he is being accused of, and he is only being accused due to his race. The town is trying to 🤬 him, even when he is the most innocent person present. The killing of a mockingbird is like the trial of Tom Robinson. It is the killing of innocence simply because you have more power and don't care what you do with it.]]> 2019-03-13 18:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/341035438 21hernandezf https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/341035657 To 🤬 a mockingbird is to destroy innocence. Mockingbirds bring innocence and happiness to the world. For example on pg. 119, Ms. Maudie expresses, "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy." It represents the people such as Boo Radley and Tom Robinson that only want to bring peace and happiness. Tom Robinson was accused of something he didn't do but the people are blaming him even though he is very innocent.]]> 2019-03-13 18:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/341035657 21theilena https://padlet.com/tmcgee6/titlesmeansomething/wish/341035846 Near the beginning of the book the author explains how the first letter spell out T-H-U-G.

In this story Khalil is thought to be dangerous and it costs him his life.
