Teaching a unit based on the theme of coming of age is important in a classroom of teenagers. It has been taught over and over again in high school language arts. Coming-of-age works make up a large part of the literary canon, including works such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Catcher in the Rye, A Separate Peace, etc. Additionally, this topic is important because the teenage students in the classroom are essentially going through their own coming. of age. They are currently going through the difficult transition from childhood to adulthood. Students will be able to relate to literature that focuses on a coming-of-age story more easily than other literary works. This will encourage students to participate more actively in class discussions and respond to texts. It also allows students to apply the things they learn from literature to their own lives and the challenges of growing up. I would say this is one of the most important things literature teachers can hope for. In this coming of age unit, the two main texts will be To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and the graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird has become one of the most taught books in high school classrooms. In some classrooms, teachers use only a partial interpretation of the novel that focuses on racial injustice. While this is a significant theme in the novel and is absolutely one that should be taught, it is not the main theme of the novel. To Kill a Mockingbird tells the story of this racial injustice through the perspective of a child. It is the coming of age story of the narrator, Scout. According to Theodore Hipple in "Will the Real Mockingbird Please Stand Up?" (1969), the novel also tells the story of Jem's growth as he loses the innocence of childhood as he approaches adulthood. By viewing the novel as the coming of age of two children, students will be better able to relate to the work than they would if they read it as a piece about racial injustice. However, students will still learn about the historical social injustice depicted in the novel. This is a good way for students to learn how the society they live in has been shaped. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story that holds a place in the literary canon and constitutes a significant historical account of it
