In the town of Maycomb, Scout Finch, also known as Jean Louise, explores the ways adults interact and express different opinions in her society. Maycomb is a town filled with different people that belong to different castes. In their town, there are two main types of people,  people who are white, and people who are colored.

"I certainly am (a “nigger-lover”). I do my best to love everybody..” says Atticus Finch, from Harper Lee’s book “To Kill A Mockingbird.” In the book, racism and social inequality was something that occurred. But today, I believe it is different. I disagree with the statement that America will never achieve true racial and social equality because there’s amendments that grant all U.S. citizens rights, there are people making a change and protecting those whose lives are in danger because of their race, and there are punishment for the people that show unlawful acts of hatred towards those people.

Lee included examples in the book that clearly connected to and displayed the Jim Crow laws, mob mentality, and the racism blacks dealt with.

Have you ever thought about how race impacts a trial or someone’s views on you. I think race is a unpopular studject. Many people choose not to talk about it because it is to uncomfortable. But if your judge people like this then when your on a jury and have to tell whether someone is innocent or guilty then your personal feelings towards them will hinder you from making a imparaction decision.

For my paper, I have chosen to analyze the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird.” This movie is based on the novel – by the same name – written by Harper Lee. The story has two major plotlines. One follows Jem, Scout, and Dill as they try to uncover the secrets behind the infamous “Boo” Radley. It’s only at the end of the movie that we learn “Boo’s” real name to be Arthur, and that we discover he actually tries to protect people, as he saved Jem and Scout’s lives. The other major plotline, and the one most relevant to this class, follows Atticus Finch, Jem and Scout’s father, as he tries to represent Tom Robinson. Mr. Robinson is an African American man who has been charged with raping Mayella Ewell. The movie then

“Nothing will ever be the same again. You can tell me if that oughta be good or bad, but that won’t change a goddamn thing.” Trying to find herself while being judged at every turn, Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” is set on a young girl named Scout whose father is helping an African-American who was convicted of rape. Atticus’s struggle with the community's opinions leaves him and his family at a struggle in the center of attention.

Would you ever think that a small bird can be so important, let alone be compared to people? Well this book is based on a mockingbird. A mockingbird is an animal with innocence, and does nothing wrong except minding it’s own buisness. Killing them is wrong and there wouldn't be a reason. Just like in the book, Tom Robinson, Atticus and Boo Radley were known as mockingbirds. In chapter 10 Atticus says, to Scout and Jem, "I'd rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a Mockingbird." In this essay I will talk about what it means to be a Mockingbird and how it influences the characters in the book. To be a Mockingbird or to be known as one, is being represented as being innocent. A Mockingbird is an innocent being. All they do is mind their business and sing in harmony until somebody tries to hurt them after they did nothing. Characters in the book that are considered to be Mockingbirds would be Tom Robinson, Boo Radley and Scout.
