Racial Discrimination

blacks and some times they did not even like whites at times. The author of To kill a mockingbird, is Harper lee, whose book shows the hard times of companionship and leadership throughout to kill a mockingbird, which shows how people are treated and how they act about being beat up. She also tries to show how people have so bad ideas that would just be painful to someone else but they still think it is cool because they know that they should not be living with a black person or a white person. Most of the prejudice that happen in this book revolves around the Tom Robinson rape case. This book is set in Maycomb, Alabama. Racial discrimination becomes a big factor in to kill a mockingbird. " People said that he existed but jem and I had never seen him". " There are four kinds of folks in this world", Blacks, Ewells, Cunningham’s, and the finches and the neighbors. Miss Caroline says to scout that, " your father does not know how to teach". That is discrimination by just guessing that scouts dad doesn’t know how to be a teacher. Tom Robinson knew that he was innocent and so did Atticus but that did not help the jury who probably just thought that he was black, so he must be the guy who did the crime. In this time period, racism was something that happened every day but know people in the new world know that they are not allowed or they should not discriminate other people by what they wear or what color of skin they have. "Jem used to think that there were only one type of folks". Mayella ewell is disrespected and picked on because she did not live with a very nice family, who mainly is Bob Ewell, the drunk of the book. Scout points out that "Mayella Ewell must be the loneliest person in the world, even more lonely than Boo Radley". This is kind of mean because people sometimes say that Boo Radley is mean to blacks and that is trying to tell that Mayella Ewell may turn into someone like that. Harper lee shows that racial discrimination and discrimination can be the same thing except racial discrimination is different than discrimination by it discriminates people races rather than something that they wear and something’s that they like to buy or purchase. If people would of just decided that this was a bad subject to do things about, then they should of abolished it many years ago, and they should of thought that people are dyeing because of the ways different people think about the other races in the world. People like Bob ewell make fun of blacks for just being drunk and he is not sure what is happening most of the time around him, and while most of the people in the town think that he is a weird old guy. Dill comments on jem’s apron, and says, "that boys don’t wear aprons". Prejudice is shown throughout to kill a mockingbird by showing the values and good fortunes that each family have for each one. Although people in maycomb county are discriminated against the persons who are legally beaten and talked about all over the town are the blacks.Atticus finch, the lawyer in maycomb county who usually represents most of the blacks in this city when they are accused of doing something wrong. I believe that atticus finch has to take a very hard job because most of the people in maycomb county and the county’s all believe that blacks are bad and they should be punished for their race. This is true because people in the city believe that blacks are bad for the community and they should have to be put in jail if they are accused and they might not be guilty, but they are still thrown in jail because of the outside appearance color of their skin. Telling people in maycomb sometimes shows racial jokes while blacks are selfish people, and they should just be put in jail for being selfish. I would hate to always be picked on because what color of my skin I was, or if people to make racial comments that maybe I am small, or like they don’t like my racial background. I still believe that people all over the world should just come together and share what they know about racial discrimination.
