Answer:
Explanation:
n Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, the theme of appearance vs. reality is a prevalent one, and Boo is a perfect example of this theme—as is Tom Robinson, at least as far as the townspeople are concerned.
When Atticus decides to defend Tom Robinson for allegedly raping Mayella Ewell, the townspeople are angry. They anticipated that Tom would have a lawyer, but not one that would defend a man that most of them believe raped a white woman. Because Tom is black, he is guilty before he steps into the courtroom—as seen by the lynch mob that shows up at the jail while Atticus sits outside with a light, chair and newspaper. The mob has made up its mind that Tom is guilty, and they do not need a court trial to carry out the sentence they believe he should serve: to be hanged until dead.
"He in there, Mr. Finch?" a man said.
"He is," we heard Atticus answer, "and he's asleep. Don't wake him up."...
"You know what we want," another man said. "Get aside from the door, Mr. Finch."
Quite similarly, ever since I was a young kid I used to dream about going to London, it was my life goal you could say.
It seemed quite impossible as I come from a working class family however I decided to work during college in order to save every pennie and book a flight to the UK.
I was finally able to do it, I was one flight away from seeing London for the first time ever, I could not have been more excited.
Once I got there, for the first time in my life I knew how dissapointment felt like. It was nothing like I imagined, it was exactly how no one ever described it to me: crowded, dirty and ordinary.
I learned to love its streets and its people but frankly I'd only return if it was for free.
Hope this helps :)

Since the Works Cited page is alphabetical, the two books by the same author will be one after the other. Because of this, you do not need to include any of the author's name. Instead, replace the name with three hyphens. Do NOT forget the period! It usually comes after the author's name, but in this case, it needs to be after the hyphens.
MLA has updated their requirements for citing sources. It is no longer the rule that you must put "Print" for print sources. Now, this citation should end with the period after the copyright date.
