Integrity In To Kill A Mockingbird
947 words
Believe it or not, individuals have trouble seeing
black from white. Mankind has the ability to

their needs, yet morally accept their sense of
integrity. The author of To Kill a Mockingbird
illustrates this illusion portrayed by a Southern
society. By using a 1930 s Southern point-of-view,
Harper Lee demonstrates that integrity not only

humankind as well. The setting of To Kill a
Mockingbird, in a sma...
