A sub-species within a collection of about 60 trackables being released in my cache: GC46C66 Bluebirds Fly.

This group is based on an “Angry Birds Star Wars” collection. These reflect a different type of “star wars”. Each is based on “star” power of performers, writers, famed or infamous personalities, etc. Criteria for selection of the honoree – simply a “bird” connected name or title.
Hope you recognize some of these. Perhaps you’ll have recollections of your own or just be introduced to an oldie but goodie from the star power tribute. Enjoy!
***To Kill A Mockingbird, a Pulitzer prize winning novel by Harper Lee, published in 1960***
In genre “Mockingbird” is considered a Southern(U.S.) Gothic, coming-of-age novel. It’s set against a backdrop of racism and racial injustice, as well as gender roles and class boundaries. The novel became a classic to study very soon after publication. It remains relevant in modern day.
Themes: Southern life and racial injustice; Class; Courage and compassion; Gender roles; Laws (written and unwritten); loss of Innocence
The mockingbird is the key representation of the loss of innocence theme. The symbolism, as summarized by writer Edwin Bruell in 1964, is “To kill a mockingbird is to kill that which is innocent and harmless.” The mockingbird theme represents “someone with an inner goodness that must be cherished”. In the novel a character describes the mockingbird as simply providing pleasures with their song, singing their hearts out for us.
That’s a powerful message, and a reminder that innocence and inner goodness is strength in a human, often perceived as a weakness.
To Kill A Mockingbirdis a powerful novel that should be on a must read list.
