While reading both Judge Heath Till’s “Manners, Morals, Customs, and Public Perception”, and Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mockingbird, they both show alike Southern civility.

The destruction of innocence is a huge topic in Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the collage that I made portrays the book's theme immensely, while also showing the mistakes of small town civilians and the hushing of diversity within them.

Although Atticus had a rifle, he's an elder guy, his…
