Summary: To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper E Lee she tells a story based off of a little girls point of view who goes by the name of Jean Scout Finch. She explains what she has witnessed As she grows up, and face the harsh reality of Alabama in 1933-35. In Maycomb Alabama during the time and as of today is filled with racist white people. In 1933-35 blacks and whites were segregated, and as a result of that blacks tried to stay out the white mans way as much as they possibly can, but of course many white individuals took that as an advantage. Her father Atticus Finch was a lawyer and he was the 1st white man in Alabama to trial a case where he was defending a black man something in which white individuals do not normally do for the sake of their safety. Atticus was strong for that and regardless of the constant threats to his life, and children he still went on. He tried to set that example for his kids where he made it known it was okay to stand up for things that was unfair or not right. As a result of that Atticus fought to prove Tom Robinson innocents against the rape and beating of Mayalla Ewells. He was able to provided sufficient evidence in which proved Tom Robinsion innocence but being that the jury was racist, and so was the towns people they did not care, and just wanted the black man killed.This book stood out to me because we actually live in a time where people are so willing to ignore the factual evidence that proves something just because they do not like a certain race, gender, etc. It proves the ignorance in people, and shows how court systems use to be in a wayhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/To-Kill-a-Mockingbird
