Admit it. We all did it.


At some point in our lives, we have called this title "To Kill A Mockingjay" and then felt really stupid about it. Please don't tell me I'm the only one

Errr...no, sorry. I could plead truly guilty of many things, but not that particular offense. 

How old are you that the correct book/film title isn't so firmly cemented in your brain that this mistake would even be possible?

reply

Afraid not. This is one of my favorite movies, and books, and I haven't seen any of the Hunger Games movies 😍

How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.

I saw this movie just today, and no, I wont or cant recalling ever having made that mistake!



That's a FAKE Laugh....

Never. I first read this book 30 years ago, and have no reason to ever replace the word Mockingbird with Mockingjay and have no idea why I ever would

OK, I agree with most posters that "To Kill a Mockingjay" never crossed my mind/lips.

But I teach this novel, and the title mistake I hear most often from my students is
"How to Kill a Mockingbird."

Who's willing to admit to that one?

Indeed, many booksellers will vouch for the on-going popularity of HOW TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

In my case, self-absorption is completely justified.
