In this essay we are going to be talking lot of things all from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. In this essay we are going to talk about the meaning of some of the flowers in the novel. The three flowers are the camellias, azaleas, and geraniums.
First thing that is going to talked about the meaning of the camellias. The first meaning of it is as a representation of the racism in the south.

She was almost upset as if she had lost a child that’s how much she cared about her
