In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the trial in the novel is one of the most important incidents that takes place in the text. It is very important to our understanding of the text as a whole as it shows the racial discrimination in that time period of the 1920 – 1930’s and how society in the 20th century has improved and has become more accepting of different races throughout the world as a whole. The topics that will be discussed in this essay are the trial and how it represented a prejudiced society, what happened after the trial and the effects that the trial had on the children.

The black characters act justly throughout the novel by treating every one with equality and respect. In Chapter 12, when Jem and Scout visit Calpurnia’s Negro church for the Sunday service, Lula, a hostile Negro woman tells them impolitely to leave. Calpurnia defends the children and contradicts Lula by saying, “It’s the same God, ain’t it?” Amidst an argument over the antagonistic rifts between black and white regimes, Calpurnia acknowledges that all people, no matter the race, worship the same God, and are therefore equal. During Chapter 12, after the church service, Reverend Sykes takes up an extra collection of money that is collected towards Tom Robinson's wife, who has not been able to find work since her husband is sent to jail since he allegedly rapes a white woman. Reverend Sykes tells the attendees of the service, “I want all of you with no children to make a sacrifice and give one more dime a piece.” The Revenant shows justice by being equal and respectful towards everyone. In order to be fair he asks those who don’t have a family to feed and shelter to donate an extra dime, and not forcing those who have a family to donate extra money. During his testimony in Chapter 19, Tom Robinson states a different story than that of Mayalla’s; he is then questioned on whether he is accusing Mayella of being a liar. Tom refuses to accuse Mayella of lying, but persistently says that she is "mistaken in her mind." This shows Tom’s unrelenting respect and honest living; even though Mayella is unjust to him, he continues to treat her with justice and respect because he knows that she is just a little girl who is lonely and even though she sent him
“Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you,” stated Bethany Hamilton, an American professional surfer, who survived a shark attack, when she was only 13 years of age. This quote relates to the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, on account that plenty of people in the book had fear, but did not let it stop them from doing what they needed to do. A few of these courageous people were Mrs. Dubose, Atticus, and Boo Radley.
“You were sneaking around the school at night? Tampering with crime scenes? What the hell is wrong with you?” He tries not to shout, but I can tell his blood is boiling. I interrupt his rant by telling him about the Deuteronomy number, and the links to the notes.
In chapter 9, Tom and Sid are told to go to bed. At exactly ten o'clock, Tom sneaks out of bed and goes to the graveyard with Huck. Tom finds huck with his dead cat, and they go and hide behind some bushes, close to Hoss Williams grave. Tom and Huck see a light in the distance. They thought the light was spirits or ghosts.

Injun joe reminds Doctor Robinson of what happened in past years . Injun joe's came to
It just takes three kids and their traits to make a difference in a community. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, racism, classism, and sexism are all showcased, through the eyes of children. The children, Dill, Scout, and Jem, try to understand and change the segregated ways of the town of Macomb. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Dill, Scout, and Jem create chaos, causing changes in Macomb County, by not judging people only from their background, speaking out for what is right, and are continually being persistent.
Chapter 19 continues on in the courtroom and in the beginning Atticus acknowledges Tom previous mishaps with the law as he asks him about his disorderly conduct incident. Dill confusingly asks Jem why Atticus was bringing up this previous incident. Jem replied “Atticus was showing the jury that Tom had nothing to hide.” This process goes on and Atticus asks more questions about Tom Robinson’s experiences with Miss Mayellla. When asked why he went inside the fence lots of time, Tom responded “she’d call me in, suh. Seemed like every time I passed by yonder she’d have some little somethin’ for me to do.”
In this prompt I will be typing is going to be about the book How to kill a mockingbird chapter 2 about what the conflict is between the teacher Miss.Caroline and Scout. So what is the issue between the teacher and student? Why does it seem like the teacher is unpleased with Scout? One key point I can point out is that in chapter 2 when it states “When Miss Caroline concludes that Atticus must have taught Scout to read, she becomes very displeases and makes Scout feel guilty for being educated.” From this quote I pointed out, I could very must see how Miss.Caroline is pointing Scout out in a very poor way and would be trying to put the blame on Scout in a secretive way in her education level. In this summary it talks about when summer ends,

In the book “To Kill A Mockingbird” there’s many problems occurring thought the story. One of the problems that mostly run along with the story is racism between white people and the black people socially. I have been able to identify, and arrange the sense on how they occur in the book.
It was a nerve shaking moment when the kids started hearing odd noises, they tried convincing themselves the noises were coming from another friend who scared them that morning. When scuffling started occurring. Scout couldn’t see outs of the costume, but when she hears Jem getting pushed away, and she feels huge arms squeeze her costume's chicken wire hard around her skin. When it was said that Jem badly got his arm broke I quenched. Scout was able to get a look out of her costume to see Jem getting dragged into a house. It was a very suspenseful scene that I enjoyed reading.
On the very first page of Oz Baum actually states that his wish was to
Also, in all of the more successful arguments that Littlefield makes, it is apparent that Baum has utilized universal symbols to represent his theme, the Tin man as everyman, the Wicked Witch as Eastern Imperialism and so forth. While it is noted that Baum was around the failed election bid when it happened and was aware of it, this does not in any case mean that the Lion was based directly on Bryan himself, and runs contrary to Baum's own stated literary goals. The Lion, like most characters and devices Baum used, is likely more universal, perhaps representing the idea that Populism itself or that Populists lacked the courage to convince the Tin Man, who lacked heart, that they were fighting for his
