While reading both Judge Heath Till’s “Manners, Morals, Customs, and Public Perception”, and Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mockingbird, they both show alike Southern civility. Both Till and Lee have related ideas on the topic such as what to call adults, how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, the importance of family, and other manners and customs shown primarily South. Lee’s novel is set in the 1930s during the Great Depression, and many terms and phrases that Till uses in his essay are reflected throughout the book, especially due to the time period it is placed in. In Harper Lee’s book, To Kill a Mockingbird, Judge Paul Heath Till’s explanation for Southern civility is reflected in many ways. Judge Paul Heath Till of Sidney, Texas
