When summer ends it’s time for school, scout gets in a fight not even a week into school and she gets in an argument with the new teacher Miss.Caroline. Later on in the story Atticus is defending and negro man named Tom Robinson and that causes trouble in the whole county against that.

Lastly one other social inequality is pointed to one person in general. That would be Boo Radley, he is a prime example of social inequality. Boo’s mental instability makes him shut away from the outside world in his home. Also he is constantly blamed for any odd occurrence in Maycomb. With this the kids thing that he is some sort of freak-show and they try to get to him. His situation is similar to Tom Robinson’s case they are both in some form of a skirmish with the law in a way. Even though Boo’s is portrayed as some weird person who stays in captive in his home. He’s actually a nice person, one notable reason is when he comes up to Scout and puts a blanket around her in the cold night of when miss Maudie’s house burns down.

One of the main themes in the story is “Social inequality”. There are many differences in the social status of the different people in Maycomb which causes confusion in the eyes of Jem and Scout.

This essay or rather “biography” about social justice, is focused on a character who demonstrates this type of justice or as we might call it...heroism. In To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee presents the idea that fairness is demonstrated by believing in your own heart and mind trusting in past teachings and ignoring the ignorance that the people of Maycomb believes in. In the passage it says:”Scout, I couldn’t go to church and worship God if I didn’t try to help that man”. (Lee 139) This means that if Atticus didn’t help Tom,then he would see no point of being a God fearing man and obeying Gods wishes. Atticus sees Tom as a person and not an unequal. What Atticus means by Tom not being an unequal is that he is just as important as a white man and that he should be treated as such.
