Influencing Change:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Nelle Harper Lee is a prejudice story that includes purity, and strength.
Back in the mid
ninety’s people were much more prejudiced and racist, but even though it’s said
that we’re over that stage now, you can still see racist acts happening today
in our everyday life. To Kill a Mockingbird gives you a different
outlook on what society is really like. By showing that a little girl can see
the wrong in the world but grown adults cannot, makes you really believe that
adult doesn’t have any common sense.
Reading To
Kill a Mockingbird certainly made me realize the sick world around us.
People shouldn’t be judged by their race or religion, but by their
personalities. If a white man is accused of a tragedy and the people know that
it was impossible for the man to complete the task, then the man would be let
go. But if it were a black man, they wouldn’t take into consideration his disabilities;
they’d simply give him an unfair trial and send him to prison, taking him away
from possibly his wife and children.
The book gives
you a complete understanding of how people aren’t always treated fairly. People
will be judged by their race and it isn’t right to do so. People should be
judged by their actions, rather than the color of their skin or their beliefs. A book or piece of work can change someone's entire outlook on things, To Kill a Mockingbird certainly changed mine.
