Kill A Mockingbird Group Of Men

If a person today is asked to do something that he
or she may not like to do and they say no, they
may be looked down upon. Not only does this happen

their mind feels is right, such as Atticus does in
the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee,
that they are looked down upon and harassed.
Atticus tries to teach his children to stand up
for what is right throughout the novel. One night

Kill A Mockingbird Ways Of Thinking
1,326 words
In the middle of this century, the South was
sharply divided along racial lines. Class
distinctions and prejudices left over from the era
of slavery caused racial tension as blacks fought
for equal rights. Violations of this class system
were the basis for Harper Lee's novel, To Kill a
Mockingbird. It follows the conviction of an
apparently innocent black man sentenced almost
entirely due to his race. The old ways of the
south hindered justice for the underclass. The
novel was Lee's hopeful visi...

The film, To Kill A Mockingbird, is based on
courage. Other issues are confronted in this text,
prejudice and racism for example. But I think that
the main subject dealt with is courage. Courage is
about stepping out of your comfort zone, not
always complying with others, doing what you
believe in. Most characters in the film display
this trait, but there are others who blatantly
display the opposite. Atticus Finch is a defense
lawyer living in the small southern town of
Maycomb. He shows courag...
