When I was little, Grandma always played with me. She taught me how to dance, and she made beautiful clothes for my dolls. She was my special friend, but I had no idea just how special until I was in ninth grade. Since my family did not have much money, I knew I would never be able to buy a great dress for the school dance. That did not stop me from dreaming, however. Many nights, after I had finished my homework, I would sketch the “perfect” dress. I kept all the sketches on my bedside table. I guess I figured that was a good place to store impossible dreams.

One Monday, Mom and Grandma agreed that we should start shopping for my dress. I dreaded shopping for it; I knew I would face a big disappointment when I found nothing close to my “perfect” dress. Nevertheless, we decided that we would shop for my dress on Saturday. That Friday night at dinner, Grandma seemed unusually cheerful as she asked, “What's cooking, Natalie?”

When I replied, “Not much,” she sang out, like a happy little bird, “Oh, Natalie! I have a surprise,” and reached under the table to pull out a huge, flat box. When I opened it, I gasped and burst into tears.

Grandma had made my “perfect” dress! When I looked over, I saw that she was crying, too. “I'm sorry,” she said, now laughing. “I was so worried it wouldn’t be what you hoped for,” she said. “I love it,” I said and gave her a hug.

Explanation:

"She sang out, like a happy little bird"

The key word was LIKE, which shows that it is a simile. It compares her singing out and the song of a happy little bird.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
