To Kill a Mockingbird
The main character of this storys name is Jean Louise Finch also known as Scout and she is not only the main character of the story but she is also the narrator. Scout lives with her father Atticus,brother Jem,and cook Calprina in Maycomb, Alabama. Many people in the town thinks that Scout is unusual and very different from the other girls because she acts like a tomboy because she grew up with her brother and best friend Dill.By reading on futher in the book you learn that Scout isnt how she is because of her brother but because of the way her father taught her to be. Atticus always taught her to be herself and dont care about what society thinks of her. Growing up with her brother and father Scout learns that not everyone in the world sees everyone else as equal and should be trated the same like she does.Instead Scout learns that in her very own town evils such as racism and prejudice people do exist.In the book Scouts Father tells her to never judge others before "climbing into their skin and walking around in it."
All of these things play a major part in this story to reach the authors goal because everyone has their own different problems. In this book he is targeted by the way he looks and is killed by a white man. Tom robinson is a character that is a rather dark individual and is accused of rape by a white woman. The biggest lesson learned by Scout is that never look down on yourself according to what society thinks of you, because you are great no matter what skin color you are. Either way in Maycomb you were treated unequal because if you were a black male you were treated with racism and if you were a female it was sexcism. In many ways the white man makes up reasons for killing him but everyone knows the truth and that is because he is african american. In order to understand this book you have to feel the characters and understand what they are going through. Another important event in To Kill A Mockingbird is when Tom Robinson is murdered. Some important events that occured in this book are when Boo Radley risks his own life to save Scout and Jem from Mr. Authors purpose I dont think that the author is in favor of only one side of the story because is has a lot to deal with both the rape case and racism/sexcism. Tom was somewhat like a "target for hunters" because he was darker than most of the other people in Maycomb. Ewell would have probably killed both Scout and Jem.
