To What Extent Was The First Book In Chronological Order In To Kill A Mockingbird

Does it ever concern that there are places in the world where there is only one person in charge and they don’t do anything to help the lower classes? All three books that we read in class have an individual or an elite group in charge, resulting in negative outcomes. The Night was the first book that we read in class but the last one in chronological order. It is a true story about a boy named Eliezer and his dad as they go through different concentration camps during World War II. The second book that we read in class was The Crucible, the first book in chronological order. This was about the Salem witch trials and how communism was affecting society in America. The third book that we read and watched was To Kill a Mockingbird.

This event was the trial on whether or not a black man had raped a white teenage girl. In the book the trial focuses on the characters Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell. Another character, Atticus, was Tom's defense attorney; he also played a major role in the trial. Both, Mayella and Bob Ewell, her dad, testified that Tom Robinson raped Mayella.

Tom stated during his testimony that after he chopped up the chiffarobe Mayella asked him to come inside to fix a door. When Tom went inside to fix the door he saw nothing wrong with the door. Tom then was going to leave but Mayella said that she could use his help getting a box off the top of a tall chiffarobe. As he was getting the box off the chiffarobe Mayella grabbed his legs and he got scared so he jumped off the chair. She then kind of jumped and hugged him. She also kissed him. She wanted Tom to kiss her back but Tom didn't want to do that. He was only worried about getting her off of him without hurting her because he knew the consequences if he was to hurt her. Most of the people in the town didn't like black people because they believed that they were less of a person and that they couldn’t be trusted. This caused there to be an immediate belief in the town that Tom
