To+Kill+A+Mockingbird

In the story, "To Kill A Mockingbird," by Harper Lee. You will see how bad racism is in this story. Anyone would take a white mans word over a black mans word. Black people arent allowed to go through a white persons fence without the owners permission. They can't even walk up to the door. That is how bad the racism is.

Tom Robinson has been convicted of raping MIss Mayella and abuses her. Most of the people know that Tom Robinson didn't lay a finger on Miss Mayella, but the white people don't believe him because he's black. While the trial was still going, Atticus asked Bob Ewell to write his name on a piece of paper. He wrote his name with his left hand right then and there, the judges knew Bob did it. Miss Mayella was hit in the face by someone who was left handed, and Tom can't use his left hand because he has no muscle in it. But Tom Robinson was still pled guilty, even when the judge knew he didn't do it. It was just because he was black.

Boo Radley is known as the creepy guy that leaves little gifts in a tree for kids. Lost of people think this guy is a murderer when he's not. He's just a quiet man that never comes out of his house. The rumors that went around about Boo is that at night, when the moon was down he went out and people through everybodies windows. When peoples azeleas froze, it was because of Boo Radely breathe don them and that every crime that was commited in maycomb was his work, which is not true. "Looks like he'd just stick his head out the door." Jem said about Boo Radely meaning that he's always in his house and he never comes out.

"Well, Mr. Finch didn't act that way to Mayella and old man Ewell when he cross-examined them. The way that man called him 'Boy' all of the time an' sneered at him, an' looked around at the jury everytime he answered." This shows that Mr. Ewell isn't a very respectful man. Even when he hasn't been drinking. Towards the end of this book, as Atticus's children are walking home through the woods, Bob is sneaking up on them then attacks them trying to kill them. He doesn't kill them, he ends up getting stabbed right below his ribs. As Bob wanted to do that by killing Atticus's children.

In the end, Bob Ewell never killed the children, he ended up dying instead. Now that Bob is dead, there won't be anymore problems in Maycomb.
