We explore the word "profound" through the lens of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, examining how symbolism carries deep emotional weight and intellectual significance beyond surface-level understanding.

• Definition of "profound" - having deep meaning or emotional/intellectual intensity
• Synonyms include deep, thoughtful, intense, insightful and meaningful
• Examination of the mockingbird as a symbol of innocence unprotected
• Analysis of other symbols including Mrs. DuBose's camellias and the knothole in the Radley tree
• Four contextual examples demonstrating how to use "profound" and "profoundly" in sentences
• Discussion of why profound moments are often quiet rather than loud

Write a sentence about a symbol in To Kill a Mockingbird explaining its profound meaning, then rewrite your sentence using the adverb "profoundly."
