![]() ![]() This shows that she could be in fear of what she did not understand. She was scared what that had mean and went home to ask Atticus about it. Now this claim could be true, because in the part where Cecil Jacobs had made fun of Scout because her dad defended nig*ers, maybe Cecil understood that, but Scout didn’t. That theme could be “Kids often fear what they do not understand. Now to kind of counterclaim this theme, people have argued that there is another theme in the book. Now Harper Lee didn’t really fix this problem between both races, but I think she shows it from Atticus. He didn’t really care, because he was that kind of guy to really respect both races. It takes courage to help blacks even though he knew the chances of being called a nig*er-lover or being made fun of was high. He believes and shows that both races are equal and he shows it by what he does and how he does it. Now it might be because he is defending Tom Robinson because he was assigned to, but if he had really hated blacks, he would either had declined or either didn’t try in the trial. Throughout the book, Atticus is the only person to show respect to both colors. Either his parents taught him this or he had probably heard it from rumors. This might have been because of the color. His parents are also racist, because if they were to teach Francis about blacks, they would have said all bad things instead of good things. Therefore, parents are the one to blame to show the prejudice towards blacks.Īlso In chapter 9 it says “Francis looked at me carefully, concluded that I sufficiently subdued, and crooned softly, “Nig*er-Lover.:” Kids aren’t really suppose to know these words when they are young, but they probably was taught from his parents. It doesn’t really matter for Atticus, because he believes that everyone is equal and should be treated equal. He had announced today that Scout Finch’s daddy defended nig*ers.” Now i believe that this was said on purpose, as an insult towards scout and her dad. In Chapter 9, it said “Cecil Jacobs made me forget. Even kids show prejudice throughout the book. This starts to allow more separation with whites and black.īecause the prejudice had been growing around Maycomb, Childrens had been able to hear about it and bash it on others. Therefore, it was the whites fault that had Lula to think the same towards whites even though most of her church didn’t think the same.Īnother detail that shows prejudice is on page 201, it says “The jail was Maycomb’s only conversation piece: it have the town a good solid respectable look, and no stranger would ever suspect that it was full with nig*ers.” So this shows that Harper Lee had put this in as another clue about why isn’t there any whites in jail? There is only blacks in jail, so this allows more white to stereotypes black as evil, dangerous, bad, but really they aren’t. So because prejudice was thrown towards Lula and their kind, she was ready to do the same. To Lula, it didn’t really matter, if they are still white, if they hate on us, we hate on them. ![]() Most of the people in the church realized that they are the childrens of Atticus, who is helping a black man in defence of a trial. Harper Lee added this part into it to show as whites bring the hatred to blacks, the blacks are starting to think that “oh they hate us all!” So then they reversed it up where if whites are hating on us, we hate on them. All of a sudden, hey were asked by Lula why they brung white children to an all black church. One piece of evidence that shows prejudice had affected the relationship is In chapter 12, as Scout and Jem were walking with Calpurnia to church, they were stopped by Lula, a black women. So because whites had judged them as bad and all those words, blacks began to do the same. ![]() It seems like he had understand it quite clearly for a kid, and he didn’t say it in fear. While some might argue that the lesson in the story could be “Kids fear what they do not understand, “ in the text it says how Cecil Jacobs told everyone in his school how Scout Finch’s Daddy defended nig*ers. The story is teaching the readers a lesson, how throughout the book, how prejudice affected the relationship between blacks and whites. This is called Prejudice and prejudice means to judge before getting to know and talk to the person/group, they judge by either how they look or their skin color. In this book, whites and blacks didn’t really got along with each other. Two young childrens, Scout and Jem, are the childs to a Lawyer, Atticus, that is defending a black man. In Harper Lee’s book, To Kill A Mockingbird, this book takes place on a small town called Maycomb.
