    In the book To Kill a Mockingbird the author, Harper Lee, uses the character of Atticus to represent Moral and Truth. In many situations, Atticus's actions differ from the rest of the prejudice society of the 1930s south and represents how the south would change in the next 30 years. The reason why Atticus’s actions were unusual in this time period was because anyone who publicly challenged the system of segregation was in danger of being killed. When the book was written in the 1960s, many anti-segregation movements had happened since the 30s, changing laws and making it much more common for people to act out against segregation like Atticus. One major example of this was during Tom Robinson’s trial where Tom was convicted of a crime

    To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, narrates an unbiased, non-filtered, and innocent viewpoint from that of Scout Finch. If the novel were rewritten from another’s perspective (such as Jem’s or Atticus’), the main concept of the book would be altered. The narrative of Atticus Finch would influence less of an impact; his knowledge and experience with the town of Maycomb would weaken the depth of Tom Robinson’s case. Just like Scout’s—Jem’s outlook would also call attention to the problematic practice of racism. However, his sense of understanding the immorality of it is more mature than her.

    Atticus Finch is portrayed by Harper Lee as a moral and selfless man in Chapter 9 of To Kill a Mockingbird through the use of an allusion. Currently in the book, Atticus is justifying his choice to stand up for Tom Robinson, an African American man accused of rape. Jack's response to Atticus when he describes the case's challenges is, "Let this cup pass from you, eh." The statement is a reference to the Last Supper, where Jesus begs God to spare him from the pain, agony, and persecution he will experience. The reference implies that Atticus' decision to stand up for Tom Robinson will cost him dearly, mirroring the suffering and tremendous sacrifice Jesus undertook by giving his life in defence of his faith.

    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is one of the most well written novels about prejudice during The Great Depression that I have read. It tells a story through the point of view of a little girl names Jean Louise “Scout” Finch. Although she may not understand everything, we see the world through her eyes and see how prejudice has impacted her life. She seems to know the simple truth more than the elders around her and tends not to fall “under Maycomb’s usual disease” thanks to her father Atticus Finch. Atticus Finch is a down to earth guy that just wants to do what is right.
