This senior high school English Literature quiz challenges you on language in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Language in To Kill a Mockingbird presents an interesting mix of local dialects, the speech patterns of children and the more complex narration of the grown-up Scout. Colorful language derived from dialect and spoken through the simple diction of a child results in some striking poetic effects. Rhetorical techniques feature heavily, especially influenced by the religious context of Maycomb and the legal concerns of the plot. Scout is even mockingly asked by Miss Stephanie whether she wants to be a lawyer when she grows up.
