funny intro

In the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee the main themes are prejudgment, dignity and doing the right thing. This also tells you a bit about human nature, it is not a particularly exaggerated book but it is not a happy bunny prancing through fields either. It is what one wold call the truth.


im not going to keep the intro. to my essay but i think its funny! heres the rest (its not done):

Many people in the book do things for the sake of their dignity for example Mayella Ewell says that Tom Robinson raped her to hide her shame, and “that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human. ”

Mr. Cunningham was part of the mob last night, but he was still sa man. Every mob... is always made up of people”

Discrimination Scout Tom Robinson

Some examples of when people do what is right are when Atticus takes the Tom Robinson court case, even though lots of people didn’t want him to. This goes so far that some of the town’s people gang up on Atticus, and Mr. Ewell spits at Atticus’s face, all because he is defending an African American.

And

There is a lot of prejudgment in the book some of the main being the assumption that Mayella Ewell is right just because she is white even though all the evidence supports Tom Robinson and Atticus.

People also think that Mr. Dolphus Raymond drinks whiskey in his brown-paper bag instead of coke just because he is married to someone who is African American. “when I come to town, which is seldom, if I weave a little and drink out of this sack, folks can say Dolphus Raymond’s in the clutches of whiskey- that’s why he wont change his ways” (200) Mr. Raymond says when asked why he pretended to drink.

Arthur Radley, also known as Boo, lives alone in the Radley House because he “drove the scissors into his parent’s leg, pulled them out, wiped them on his pants, and resumed his activities [scrap booking].” (11) Or so says Miss Stephanie. However, you later learn that Boo Radley is just very shy, and likes to stay in his house. He saves Scout and Jim when Mr. Ewell attacks them at night, and often leaves them presents including carved soap of the two children.

“ ‘Here,” he said, offering Dill his paper sack with straws in it. “Take a good sip, it’ll quieten you”

Dill sucked on the straws, smiled, and pulled at length.

“Hee hee,” said Mr. Raymond, evidently taking delight in corrupting a child.

“Dill, you watch out, now,” I warned.

Dill released the straws and grinned. “Scout, it’s nothing but Coca-Cola”
