To Kill A Mockingbird

A detailed Summary of To Kill A Mockingbird

There is a lot of prejudice in To Kill A Mockingbird. The disrespect and dislike that whites and blacks have for each other in this period of time in the book was common throughout the south. There was a lot of violence and lying all the time between whites and blacks. You can see this throughout the whole book between Bob Ewell and his dislike of Atticus that comes to involve Scout and Jem. Atticus does not want Scout and Jem to grow up and be like the rest of the people and take part in the disrespect and dislike of the black people. Atticus try's to show Scout and Jem that the violence between whites and blacks can be stopped. Atticus was to nice to the people who disliked blacks, Bob Ewell is the best example of who has the most disrespect and dislike of blacks in the story. Atticus hopes that putting up with the blacks and also with the whites that are cause most of the problems can help to solve the racial problem in Maycomb.

The Radleys are regarded as outcasts because they never talk with the townspeople, or attend church even for Mrs. Radley's funeral. The doors on the Radley house are always kept shut even when it is hot and every other house in the town has just there screen doors open.

Scout and Jems treatment of Boo Radley was a turning point in the whole story. It showed that all it takes is just two kids to realize that what had been going on was wrong. The main reason that certain people still look at blacks the same way they did in the story is because of the generations before them and what they did.
