Reflection In To Kill A Mockingbird

“To Kill A Mockingbird” is based around the segregation era of civil rights, in the South the African Americans are still treated poorly and using the “N-Word” is still relevantly being used towards them by white people. The book starts out with Jean louise “Scout” being the main character and narrator of the whole story, as it is being told in her point of view.
