    Stories of maids being abused by their employers, Hilly “helping” Yule May get four years in prison, and Robert Brown being beaten when it was discovered he used a white bathroom by mistake are examples of violence in the book. The change from racial inequality is prevented by violence being used against the black community by the white populations. Stockett uses the violence and racial tension from that time period in the book to add emotion and drama to the story, but it also shows how dangerous change is; anyone who tries to make a change or anything relative to change would be in serious…

    In Richard Wright’s The Library Card, the author vividly describes his quotidian life as an African-American living in the segregated south of the early- to mid- 20th century.
