Though being despised by the entire town, Atticus continues to live his life there. Calpurnia, the house maid, teaches them to look outside of their own culture so she gives them a taste of how blacks do things. She does the right thing, but faces ridicule for bringing the children to the church. A man who is tried and the people know that he is innocent, but they still send him to jail for a crime he did not commit shows how the justice system is not correctly structured. The same thing that happened back then as far as being wrongfully convicted, happens now in today’s society. The black community in this town is very much loved, but it shows how one man can obtain so much power and he can send all of them to prison without any justification or for absolutely nothing. To Kill a Mockingbird highlights the importance of the law without actually explaining it. The book gives a perfect description as to how individuals face charges and are convicted for things that they did not. The system does not care just as long as their conviction rate goes up. Atticus, however, does a good job at representing Tom, but it was not enough to keep him out of
