Some major themes in TKM is bravery and to teach a lesson and thing are not the way people say they are. The author reveal the theme so that in all most every lesson we will learn something new and a new lesson. The lesson that I think the characters will learn to stud up for the truth and help people wen they need you.The lesson that Harper Lee want me to learn by the end of the book is that you need to do the right thing even if every one turn there back on you.
