To Kill a Mocking BirdEssay Preview: To Kill a Mocking BirdReport this essayIn the novel To Kill A Mockingbird there are many life lessons to be learned, most importantly dont underestimate others abilities, dont lie, and stand up for what you believe is right. These life lessons can be found throughout the book as the main characters learn them. Through the course of the trial, Atticus, Jem, Scout, Boo, Tom, and Dill learn the importance of these lessons.
The setting of To Kill A Mockingbird takes place in Macomb, Alabama during the 1930s. This was a time when society looked down upon African Americans. A black mans word against a whites meant nothing. In the novel the black man named Tom Robinson is accused of raping and beating a white woman. Atticus Finch was chosen to represent Tom Robinson case. This was very hard for Atticus to do with the society he was living in. Defending a black man at that time was scandalous especially for a man who held such a high status in society as Atticus did. His defending a black man cost him the respect of some people in town. His children got made fun of and his home became the subject of negative comments. Even though the trial causes problems Atticus still goes through with it because he believes that Tom did not commit a crime; he stood up for what he thought was right.
Amarion Tiller’s movie “The Dark Knight” is a love story, but in the novel, it’s about vengeance. This was an era of vengeance, a time when black people fought back the injustices of black oppression. This was about who the hell was really in charge of killing, how they fought back, and who had to deal with it. In American history it appears that blacks faced a very similar situation as whites, with people being able to get away with killing black people, but getting away with killing their white white neighbors. This may also mean that the white supremacist movement of the 1960s was very much based on the idea of “victimhood.”
It was, until the rise of the alt right, the era of white supremacy. It’s important to keep in mind that the alt right is now much different from the white supremacist movement, for both are based on racism, racism and white privilege. We all know that a lot of white people have a negative view of black people and what that means. They are scared for the future. What we see from these alt right groups in today’s American culture is that they are a form of white supremacy which will be replaced by another white savior, a man like Hitler who wants to bring white power back to America. But that doesn’t stop them from killing all whites. The people who run these white supremacist organizations today are very angry at Black Lives Matter and its people because of this racist, anti-white agenda in mainstream political discourse. They want to destroy Black Lives Matters for this agenda because it makes it more acceptable for them to become white supremacist.
I want to keep in mind that I don’t mean there’s no white savior, just the white people are all having a horrible time with it. When black people get to be white, they won’t just be going to prison without being judged, they will be doing as well as they can during the 90s. If you read The Godfather, John F. Kennedy, and other black heroes, you’ll see that there is so much violence. If you can’t control things, you can’t control the world, and the world loses its power. This is the only way to survive in life. People can’t make good judgments about how to live. You can make bad decisions, but you never always make good decisions in life. And what will you do as the future king of the tribe and the house of black fathers?!
It may not matter if you live in a post-racial society, or one like the 90s, or the 10th or 21st century, but the way black people live today, the way they live in their neighborhoods, there will be an impact on their lives. Because they are living under an existing system they will be faced with an experience they will feel was very similar to the American experience in which they will have to deal with different conditions in different cities. I really believe that white people with no white supremacist movement have the potential to help them by turning this system on its head and allowing a system to evolve which I believe is based on white supremacy which will allow black people to live more peacefully without being threatened by them and to live with this system without being seen as racist and not being treated as such.
In the novel
During the Tom Robinson caseIn the small town of Macomb people believed that Boo Radley a was Crazy, freak. Boo was blamed for anything that was out of order in the town. There were stories of Boo going around the town that he had stabbed his father and had been put in to containment in the basement of the court house.

The law enforcement person that was at the house then realized that he can not believe everything that he has heard about boo beings how Boo was the one to help the Finch children.
In the end I guess it is all about honesty, not judging people and taking a stand for what you believe is right even if it is against everyone else. Because some time in the
