    In the 1930’s, African-Americans made up more than 25% of the students in schools, but received only 12% of all education revenues and only 3 percent of funds budgeted for school transportation (www.loc.gov). This statement proves how prejudiced the country was at that time period. Racism wasn’t just person to person, but it was institutionalized from companies and organizations. It affected everyone, whether it benefited you or hurt you. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee deals with it because the book is based on a family that directly sees racism happen and it changes their perspectives.…

    In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird innocence is spread throughout the novel. Innocence connects to the mockingbird since all they do is sing for us. There are three examples of innocence within this novel; Boo Radley, Mayella Ewell, and Tom Robinson. Boo Radley is one of the examples of innocence.

    One of the most significant quotes in Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird was uttered by Scout Finch in chapter 23, when Scout disagreed with her brother in a crucial manner when she said “Naw, Jem, I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks” (Lee 227). This statement has more meaning to be uncovered than what is drawn from it when first read. The quote boldly deals with many of Lee’s themes of her novel, such as that racism classifies people into groups, innocence allows for idealized views, and that education can be used as a social construct. Lee uses Scout’s innocence to convey her message, as well as her conversation with Jem and earlier altercation with Aunt Alexandra to make her point.…
