to kill a mocking bird/ acceptance
“All men were created equal in the eyes of G-d,” some say. There is a question brought up that is often left unanswered. Then why are we not all treated equally? The answer lies in each of us, and in three very sincere books, that reveal to us the unjust ways of our society, in their own unique way. These books by title are Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s, and StoneRay Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Each send the message of prejudice’s that are frequently interfering in our lives. All tell of a separate prejudice which are expressed to us in their writing. In Lee’s book we find racial prejudice between a black man on one end, and almost an entire Southern white town on the other. This colored man was wrongly accused of raping, and abusing a poor low-class white girl. The girl’s father fabricated this story out of blind hate. Expressed in this book is the oppression put upon Negro’s for being dimwitted, poor, and unworthy of the title “man.” None of which are true, but rather imagined out of fear.
ome of us are richer, some poorer, some lighter at heart, some are intense until the very end. Whatever you are, is not the case. What you let yourself become is. Strive not to be what you aren’t, but rather set your goal to be something you can. Encourage others to do the same, and do not pride yourself at their misfortune. We cannot all be equal, but we can all share the same common principle, let each man, woman, child, black, white, Jewish, Christian, Cuban, Asian, rich or poor be all that they can. Do not let yourself become easily jealous, or angry, take everything in stride. That is all we need to pacify the world, and our differences. In Fahrenheit 451 it is not one, but many prejudices that led to the destruction books themselves. Which in turn, led to the destruction of individuality, and acceptance. Many were writing in this time. People wrote of others, of themselves, of bettering man-kind, of a world filled with minorities, and useless street urchins. People used the right of the First Amendment to the utmost capacity. Not all were at ease with this situation, and they thought of ,any ways to bett
