To Kill A Mockingbird Response

Now to the finale of To Kill a Mockingbird, this was a real crazy book. The book was really something eye opening as it shows how us as people and a community have unified together as one. We are years past segregation and even farther away from slavery, but what makes it even crazier is that this was less than one hundred years ago. It’s great to see that we have evolved as humans and as people. This book holds the utmost realistic values for the setting. The book was a direct inspiration of two events that happened in Mrs Lee’s life. The first one was where “In 1931, nine black teenagers from Alabama were accused of raping two white women on a train. All but one of the “Scottsboro Boys” were convicted and sentenced to death.” But the one

Even with the evidence clearly on the side of Atticus and Tom there would be no way in hell that a jury of all white people wouldn’t convict a black man accused of raping a white woman, so they did. Sentence to life in prison for the rape of Bob Ewell's daughter. That trial and sentence sent a message to the kids, which was life is not fair. A man as innocent as Tom Robinson should have not triad, all the evidence was on his side but the tainted justice system failed as he was sentenced under false pretences. After the trial concluded, I was kinda shocked but not surprised. I wished someone in the jury would have tried to convince the others, but no. The jury doesn’t look at someone it has convicted and no one

The first one comes from what Scout and the reader learns which is, that life is not fair. Tom Robinson should have never been on trial, all the evidence like the fact that Tom can barely use his hand from all the labour he does out in the fields, the facial damage did not coincide with Tom’s Handedness but with Bob as he is left handed and, with Tom’s realistic story of him being seduced by Mayella and his father walking into the situation and retaliating by beating her, which would cause the scars. All the evidence was on Tom’s side and everyone in that courtroom knew he was as innocent as a bug, but the tainted justice system worked well for Bob Ewell as Tom Robinson was founded guilty of rape and was sent to life in prison. After that Scout, filled to the brim with emotions, she lashes out in anger. This is the day when she realizes that people will screw others over tremendously in life and that life itself is not always fair. The second lesson is quite literal in its sense, which is to not kill a mockingbird. Atticus brings this up when he gives the kids a BB gun and tells them “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit'em’, but remember It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” The kids were always just told that nevertheless, Maudie tells the kids that “Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to
