My essay is on a friend of our family, Lenny Wilkens. Lenny grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. His father was African American and his mom was Irish American.

Mayella, from To Kill a Mockingbird is beautiful compared to her surroundings, and the one who claims that Tom Robinson raped her in the big town trial. “Against the fence, in a…. they were Mayella Ewell’s” (pg. 228) Lenny from Of Mice and Men is a large,
