Themes in To Kill a Mockingbird

The major themes in To Kill a Mockingbird is Atticus is very brave when he knows he cant win the Tom Robinson trial. Also another theme in the book is that Jem is growing up to be just like Atticus. The author reveals the Atticus's problem was when Atticus was talking to Jem and Scout about that they need to be brave even if they know there not going to prevail. Also I know Jem is growing up to be like Atticus is when Jem was talking to Scout like Atticus talks to her. They will learn how to be brave and to know that they are going to grow up sooner or later. I think the lesson that Harper Lee wants us to learn is that not helping someone for a crime is like committing the crime your self.
