Jonathan Rogers explores the distinction between individual mannerisms and culturally determined behaviors, using To Kill a Mockingbird as an example. By focusing on minor characters like Mister Avery, Jonathan illustrates how small, unique habits or gestures can bring characters to life, making them feel real and distinct, even if they don't play a major role in the story.
Writing Through to Kill a Mockingbird and Writing Through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe are video-based self-studies, made with the assumption that attentive readers can improve their own creative writing. Join Jonathan Rogers on a journey into the literary elements of these books. Admire the description, dialogue, concision and pacing of the classic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and To Kill a Mockingbird. Jonathan Rogers of Grammar for Writers teaches high school students how to improve their own creative writing by examining the literary elements of these classics.
