    Without themes being included in writing pieces, the readers cannot fathom the true meaning of the text and how to relate the piece to real life. In both Lee’s and Ransdell’s writings, two significant themes are expressed throughout each of them which include racism and empathy. In To Kill a Mockingbird, racism is especially portrayed in Tom’s trial.

This is an example of racism because an African American man expresses the fear of his life to which a white man could take away at any moment.…
