Do not get around me! EW! Many people with different races hear this everyday of their life.
Sadly every race gets treated differently, and it is terrible we should be equal no matter the race.
This is just the same as it was in the 1920’s even though we have gotten better we can see
Harper Lee’s take on things in the 1920’s because Tom Robinson gets an unfair trial because of
his race, Women get treated poorly, and People being prejudice about Boo Radley.
Tom Robinson get an unfair trial because of his race. Bob hit mayella because he can use his
left hand, but Tom can not even though all of the evidence was there that Tom didn’t do anything
to her. He was found guilty, and Bob was let free. Also it states in the book that, “The state has
not produced one

Some said he was a psycho who has never been out of the house,
and it crazy. Others would say he was just someone would was raised to stay in the house
because of his religion. In the end of the novel Boo comes out, and saves Jem from dying. In
the book it states,”Atticus, he was real nice” (Lee 323). It also states, “Most people are, Scout,
when you finally see them” (Lee 323). Both of them provide examples of how Scout always had
judge Boo to be a terrible, but when she actually met him he turned out to be really nice. People
can never judge a book by its cover, and this is definitely a time. Some people might say they
think it is okay to judge people before they get to know them, but really it is not okay because
you never know someone’s story until you actually get to know them.
In conclusion every race in everyday life gets discriminated, and is prejudice towards other
even though they don’t even really know the full story. Tom Robinson did not get a fair trial
because he is African American, A lot of people are prejudice against Boo, and women
Oj Simpson and Tom Robinson, what exactly do they have in common? Both are African American males who were convicted on crimes against a white women. Both also had many similatires that affected their cases such as their race and social status. Yet, their verdicts were not the same, Tom Robinson was convicted of raping and beating up a white women while Oj Simpson was found not guilty of killing his wife and her friend. The bill of rights clearly states that “ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.
Tom Robinson did not get a fair trial because he spent over one year in jail. Tom Robinsons trial was not fair due to the race of the people in the room during the trial. They thought Mayella was telling the truth no matter what because she was white. They had a bias jury that was against Tom. Even though Tom has enough evidence they are still going to think he is lying because he is black.
Evidence from story and context Commentary/Analysis Textual Reference: “Jem was suddenly furious. He leaped off the bed, grabbed me by the collar and shook me” (Lee 283). Context: Scout brings up the courthouse, and Jem gets angry and tells her to get out.
Scout realizes that Boo is not mean and vicious but instead is giving and generous. Another example of his good deeds and willingness to help others is in chapter 8 where Atticus says “You
Everyone in town thinks he’s a weird creep just because he doesn't like everyone else. Jem doesn't know who to thank for putting the blanket on him when he was cold but then Atticus tells him, “Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you.” (Lee 82) This shows how Boo Radley is a kind and harmless man.
“Nobody actually wants to grow up. We just want the freedom to use our youths. ”-Unknown. This quote represents Scouts character. How she wants to understand the world yet she doesn’t want to grow up.
In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the story is set in the 1900’s, Maycomb, Alabama. During this time there was racism in the south and segregation which separated the whites and blacks from everything. There was also the Great Depression, the whole country was poor and people living in the country had to trade and do other jobs for people to either pay them off or to buy something from them. The trial in this book is about Mayella and Bob Ewell, two white people, claiming and arguing that Tom Robinson, a black person, raped Mayella Ewell. This trial is really important because at that time in the south, white people took advantage of black people and their kindness and thought they would take that or shut up just because they were black.
We live in a society today where judging others is a regular, everyday activity. Many people may blame a significant amount of this issue on the excessive amount of technology we have access too, but this problem has been around for much longer. In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, it shows the ugliness that can come from judging others, but it also teaches two young children, Scout and Jem, to listen to others, so that you can have the opportunity to learn from them.

She grew up never understanding what was going on around her, but as she grew older she understood the bad things that were happening around her. Scout grew up in a very racist town, surrounded by racists every day she had to know what was right and what was wrong. “There’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads—they couldn’t be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it’s a white man’s word against a black man’s, the white man always wins. They’re ugly, but those are the facts of life”(Lee 330).
One of the many problems in this world is that people are discriminated for their actions and differences, but we do not see what they have to offer. What we do not realize is how all of us are different in a way, and how we do not always have to have something in common. If we were in their shoes how would we feel? In a society, individuals must learn how to accept others and their differences in order to live in a happier community with fewer conflicts amongst one another. First of all, in order to make this a happier community to live in, our society first must stop judging others for being different than us because we have not been through what they have.
