To Kill A Mockingbird #7

Journal #7

Chapters 18-21

Choice C

I think this book is about place in society. I chose this option because the other options fit in in a way. Not one of the other choices is irrelevant to place. The race, gender, class, and maturity of each character is considered in this book and gives the character their place. All of the other things are of importance in the book but they all are subsequent to place.

For example the age of Scout puts her place in the society. An example that is very evident in the book is that of Tom Robinson his race puts him below the whites in every way. Even though nobody likes the Ewell family they would rather take their side than that of white man. It just show that prejudice is a big factor in one's place. If you were a pauper you would be looked down on in the neighborhood.

Aunt Alexandra is always saying that Scout and Jem need to live up to the Finch name. Whenever Scout is in a predicament she is quick to let her know that she is not making her happy.  She wants to say that it is Atticus who is leading the children wrong and giving them bad morals but she is prejudice herself.  I think this book can open people eyes to see what they consider when they determine someones place in life.
