Literature- How to Kill a Mockingbird

Project Due Friday: Let’s focus on character motivations and the result of the Robinson trial. Who has acted in badly in pursuing justice? Bob Ewell? Mayella? Mr. Gilmer? The jury? The sheriff? We will put characters on trial and focus on their motivations. Just as a detective considers motive in identifying suspects, we will think about the motivations behind the characters who caused this injustice. Watch this 7 minute video on character motivations. This clip explains intrinsic and extrinsic motivations nicely. It also explains the importance of character motivation in advancing the plot. Pick two characters (Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, Mr. Gilmer, Judge Taylor, The Jury, Sheriff Heck Tate, Atticus Finch or the public) and examine their motivations. Be sure to include:

Evidence of Guilt (Key excerpts)
Motivations and Explanations (intrinsic, extrinsic and conflicting (2 or more opposing desires within a single character))
Level of Guilt (how responsible are they?)
Outcomes (how does their choices impact the plot?)
