Life is not fair anyone could be against you.During the book To Kill a Mockingbird they show how life really was back then during the depression. Not everyone was treated the same. Whether it was women or African Americans. They show social inequality and racism throughout the entire book.

Some of these inequalities may stay but maybe it's for the better. I really enjoyed this book and I learned a lot about the 1930’s and how people really treated
