Lasmy-To Kill A Mockingbird
Now I see that it's being more explicit about racism. However it's more than that. Being in Scout's eyes, we see that growing up has more to it, such as changing behaviors regarding the family name or gender. Therefore I assume that Atticus still allows them to be carefree of society because he still sees them as children, young and naive, or at least Scout is still young and naive. The characters also see racism into play more through hearing conversation that degrades the Negroes to seeing discrimination from being black or mixed to the man who rather be around Negroes to the court trial. The court trial perked my most interests because it was the most interesting part. Especially when Mayella lied and decided to stay quiet leaving Atticus in the position where he may lose.

I agree the court case is definitely the climax of the story what i am specifically looking foward to is who he going to win the case. Is the theme of racism going to weave through and is tom going to be guilty or declared innocent.

ReplyDeleteI also agree that the court case is the climax, however how do you think this case and the racism that surrounds it influences Scout and Jem?
ReplyDeleteAlong the lines of what Zach said, I think Scout is witnessing Jem's innocence slowly being taken away(he's seeing all the bad things about Maycomb and is reacting in a different manner than most children would) but she doesn't understand why. Would you agree?
