Racism is a big part of this book. It shows the absurdity of what people thought back then, which is an important lesson. It is important for us to learn what people’s views used to be, and how important it is not to go back to that mindset.

The most important theme in this book was the trials and tribulations of racism because it was woven in every part of the plot, it contributed to the conflict and resolutions, and gave the story a connection to current events, helping the reader’s comprehension.

It shows how the book is informative on how people treat slaves and whites as not equal, and also sees the daily/ extreme lengths people will go to seek

In the beginning chapters of the book, we get a glimpse of the typical home and community of an African American during segregation. Many Africans Americans were too adjusted to the way of living, that they felt

My first theme is prejudice. It is never right for one individual to own another, or for one group of people to be denied equal rights because they are different in some way. In NightJohn, they were prejudice and made African American people be enslaved and work for them and treat them differently just because they were a different color than them. I’ve seen prejudice a lot all my life. Whether it’s for for colored people or gay people or whatever, in the end we’re all the same and should all be treated equally.

The structure of the novel is significant in presenting the issues of racism from both sides of the story. The story starts with a prologue which sets the scene and

As most everyone knows, there are differences between a book and it’s movie adaptation. This is applicable to the book and it’s movie counterpart To Kill a Mockingbird, as well. But aside from the differences, there are also similarities between these two.

One of the intresting things about the book is that the author is almost like a combat or field journalist in the way he approaches the subject matter going to the extremes of changing his skin color with pills and tanning lamps, and trying to live the actual experiences of a black man in the south at that time that the author really wants to get it right in telling the story that he has to get in the mix and really live it instead of observing from the sidelines that the author is in a way is almost willing to lose life and limb to live the experience and get

Race during the Harlem Renaissance was a major issue. Race determined everything from what restaurant people ate at to what water fountain a person can drink out of.The novel tells a story of Clare and Irene who are passing in the 1920s. Passing is when a biracial person is considered and treated as a white person.Passing came with lots of privilege, but it also caused identity problems within the person.The act of passing proves that race definitely played a huge role of the uniformity in America.

The most significant parts of the book were the first and third chapters. Within these chapters, they spoke about the everyday racism experienced by African-Americans. Reading the blatant disrespect and stereotyping displayed within these stories was shocking. I can not fathom the strength and patience it takes to constantly cope with passive aggressive comments about race. Yet, not all the real world experiences in the story had passive aggressive comments and an example of this is the story on page 15. In this story, there are two instances of mistreatment. The first injustice happens when the neighbor calls the police on the young African-American man who is using the phone in front of the house. This is a more obvious racist action because neighbor assumed the African American man was dangerous. The second instance is when the friend tells the man to take his phone calls in the back of the house rather than the front. This is more subtle racism because the young man should be able to make phone calls wherever he pleases. This account is one of the many stories that illustrates the prejudices African Americans face everyday. I have been well aware that race is still a major problem in this country and this book is evidence.

Society can change people's view of other people and make them look at themselves differently. Why countries have so much diversity is because of the influence that society gives out. This diversity can vary from people's opinions on other people or their opinions on other countries, like racism. That is where most of our influence comes from. People like to be like other people all the time and provides rumors that people can see or hear. They might change their clothing and much more because of that influence. Although society influenced Harper Lee to write To Kill a Mockingbird, it influenced the characters Scout, Jem, and also the reader.

Society is naturally feared of what is different then them. They made others into what they want them to rather be than who they actually are, so different people are outcasted. In the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird”, by Harper Lee, she talks about how life was in the 1930’s and how colored people were judged by appearance and not their personality. Harper Lee also talks about how much people struggled to get a job or work in the great depression. In the story she introduces Jem Finch which is her brother with a broken arm, then she introduces Atticus Finch her father. The novel expresses how Maycomb has a nasty disease which is racism, it can compare to recent times

The story, for the most part, centers upon an African-American family, their dreams for the future and an insurance check coming in for death of the eldest man. Stirring into the mix later is the hugely oppressive,

I still remember sitting in my high school English classroom when the teacher brought out a box of books and introduced the students to the book that we would be reading over the next few months, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. When I heard what the novel was about, I groaned as most high school students would. How could a book about a young girl growing up in depression era Alabama be of any relevance to a teenager? Well as it turns out, the book did end up having a huge impact on my life; it seems like everyone has a special piece of literature that affects them, and for me it was To Kill a Mockingbird. It is a cliché choice, but the book really did influence me in a number of tangible ways, firstly it helped me understand the damage
