Those two rooms were all they needed, for they only needed tools for when they were out, books and such, and a place to sleep.

Her hope was…

contrary, the second mob that Atticus faces consists of "strangers... in overalls and denim shirts, ...[with] hats pulled firmly down over their ears:" men one would rather prefer not to encounter. These covered up strangers—mostly uneducated country folk—present the near definition of a lynch mob. They had a clear intention: to kill the ‘Negro’ involved in the court case.

There is a perception that the American racist mentality is dead. However, this is not the case, seeing how the post- civil rights movement era is subtly reminiscent of the civil rights time period. That observation leads one to believe that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race.
