Conformity In To Kill A Mockingbird

“First of all…if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all types of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it,” says Atticus the narrator's father in To Kill a Mockingbird (39). The author of this novel, Harper Lee was an uncommon white female who grew up in Alabama during segregation and the great depression, she didn't always think the same way others did in the old days. When Lee decided to make a narrative about segregation by telling a story about Scout Finch who was just like Lee when she was young. To Kill a Mockingbird was a worldwide book taught in high schools. The setting of this book was set around

Atticus Finch, the protagonist's father, decides to defend a black man when falsely accused of sexually assaulting a white female (Lee 110). Atticus’s conformity is relevant to the story because not a lot of folks back then believed or were as open-minded as he was.

Mrs. Fisher shows that it doesn't matter how much money you have, to always be generous to others who are less fortunate like the Cunninghams (Lee 31). A positive effect on social prejudice, supposedly shows that not all people believe we were separated by money. There are only a few times this is shown in To Kill a Mockingbird. Also when Tom Robinson, the accused black man, offers to help Mayella because she was also less fortunate like himself, and though he had his own chores to get done he would help her (Lee 264-265). Additionally, she took advantage of that, when Boo patched up Jem pants after they got caught on his fence (Lee 16). Having many rumors going around about Boo being a bad man, he had shown Jem that he meant well, and wasn't going to hurt them. Communal prejudice is also a very influential theme in Lee’s novel. It shows one's true self and when lacking common
