To Kill A Mockingbird Cover

This is my cover for the novel. I drew it as it was the part where Atticus shoots the dog.

We can also see the three figures are portrayed all in dark black. We obviously know it is supposed to be Jem, Scout, and Atticus. I choose to portray them all in black because that would hide Atticus' identity, and it would show that he isn't really like that and doesn't like to shoot, and the children would know that that isn't their father. The children are looking at their father in total awe and shock that he has another history attached to his life other than being a lawyer. They now know that he is also known as "One Shot Finch." The birds in the background show some of the significance in the book. They are flying away in the same direction Atticus is shooting, and that represents how the children's innocence is starting to fly away as well with age. I choose to make this as a cover because I thought that the original cover lacks the action that the actual book shows, and that this cover shows more action.
