Prejudice in To Kill A Mockingbird :: social issues
Prejudice in To drink down A mockingbirdThree students kicked out of a high school for threatening to admit a gun to school. Why would they? Because people were prejudice against them because other students imagination they were losers. Moral You shouldnt not like a person because they arent like you. Prejudice was far much worse in the while period of To Kill A Mockingbird. But, Prejudice is the reason for much mixer injustice. Three calibres named Nathan Radley, genus Atticus Finch, and Aunt Alexandria show us this in the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. Back in the time period of To Kill A Mockingbird, dispiriteds were referred to as common racoons, and blamed for most things, even when they were innocent. An example of this is when a character named Nathan Radley hears slightlyone in his cabbage patches. He shot his gun in the air and when people asked what happen, he automatic ally told them it was a nigger. rase though he didnt see the person. But, he knew the person wa s vacuous by this quote someone said he said. Shot in the air. Scared him though, says if eitherone sees a white nigger running around hither thats him (54). Meaning that he knows the person is white. Another thing is that some people even put animals above blacks, as told in the watch of the quote. Got the other barrel waitin for the next hears in his patch, be it dog, nigger, or Jem Finch (a character) (54). Now he must take away known it was Jem, or wherefore would he have said his name? This shows that Mr. Radley didnt have any respect for blacks. Not simply were blacks referred to as niggers but, anyone associated with them, except for slave masters, were called, nigger lovers. An example of this is that a character named Atticus Finch is fend for a black person named Tom Robinson in court. Because he is doing this, most people in town are calling him a nigger lover. Not only are the adults saying it, but their children are saying it too. Since Atticus is defending this man, he has also tried to been jumped many time also. But Atticus makes a very interesting point during the court case. The witnesses for the state have presented themselves to you gentlemen, to this court, in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted. confident that you gentlemen, would go along with them on one assumption, the evil assumption, that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are immoral beings, that all Negroes are not to be indisputable around our women, an assumption that of one mind of their caliber.
