“To kill a mocking bird”
What is life like in Macombe county?
In this essay I am going to explain What life is like in Maycombe county, which is described in the book “To kill a mocking bird.”
I feel that the main theme in the book is prejudiced. Most of the characters experience prejudiced from others and are, in some degree, prejudiced towards others.
Atticus who starts out a well respected character in the town soon starts to receive a negative image when he accepts a court case for Tom Robinsen, a Negro. Not only Atticus but Jen and Scout receive abuse. This come from several places: Mrs Dubose there elderly neighbour "“ finch defending niggers in court"” and Jem and scouts school friends. "He announced in the playground that scout Finch's’ daddy lawed for niggers.” This show in the town how a well respected family can be turned against because the mix with the Negro’s.
