My Summary Review:

My summary is on "To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee". This novel can be relate to today's world with the idea of racism. The central thematic concern of To Kill a Mockingbird addresses racial prejudice and social justice. Atticus Finch represents a strongly principled, liberal perspective that runs contrary to the ignorance and prejudice of the white, Southern, small-town community in which he lives. Atticus is convinced that he must instill values of equality in his children, counteracting the racist influence. Harper Lee makes use of several images and allegories throughout the novel to symbolize racial conflict. The children's attitudes about Boo Radley, for example, represent in small scale the foundation of racial prejudice in fear and superstition. I personally choice this novel because I strong that it can relate to today's world. Most people might think that racism doesn't exists but I am here to prove them wrong. I do believe that racism is happen today in our society although it might not seems like it but I know for sure that there are still racism surrounding us in our everyday life. My reason for saying this is to show that if I move from my country which in this case is Jamaica to New York, I am going to try and settle around a neighborhood that as mostly Jamaican peolpe. This goes for any country as well, because I know that we as human is not going to move to a new surrounding and jump in a different race right of the back.Which lead us to the point when Tom Robinson, an African-American man, is accused of raping Mayella Ewell, Atticus is appointed as the defense attorney. Mayella and her shiftless father, Bob Ewell, live in abject poverty on the outskirts of town. The family is known as trouble and disliked by townspeople. Despite this, Atticus's defense of Tom is unpopular in the white community. This here is to prove that what I stated earlier about living in a different racial group can often start trouble even if that person has nothing to do with the fact of the case. This story was published during the Civil Rights movement, and was hailed as an expose of Southern racist society. In some way this can also gets deeper into the context of what had started as the term "Racism". During this time Martin Luther King Jr. fought for blacks rights, because this time period of racism was really getting out of control. For example; when traveling on a bus, blacks had to pay in the front then get off the bus and walk to the back for a seat.Tom Robinson, a local black man falsely accused of raping a white woman", this was a quote from the novel itself. To show who blacks were known to be the "nobody" while the whites got all the "upper class values". Martin Luther felt that this process was wrong so that's when he came up with the moment to protect blacks rights. This story that Mocking Bird publish is to try and cut out the negativity of racism in this society.
