Prejudice in To Kill A Mockingbird :: social issues

Prejudice in To tear A jeererThree students kicked out of a high school for threatening to subscribe to a gun to school. Why would they? Because people were prejudice against them because other students judgement they were losers. Moral You shouldnt not like a person because they arent like you. Prejudice was far much worse in the time period of To Kill A Mockingbird. But, Prejudice is the reason for much amicable injustice. Three events named Nathan Radley, genus Atticus Finch, and Aunt Alexandria show us this in the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. Back in the time period of To Kill A Mockingbird, drearys were referred to as jigaboos, and blamed for most things, even when they were innocent. An example of this is when a character named Nathan Radley hears aboutone in his cabbage patches. He shot his gun in the air and when people asked what happen, he automatic aloney told them it was a nigger. blush though he didnt see the person. But, he knew the person was sporty by thi s quote someone said he said. Shot in the air. Scared him though, says if bothone sees a white nigger running around here thats him (54). Meaning that he knows the person is white. Another thing is that some people even put animals above blacks, as told in the comfort of the quote. Got the other barrel waitin for the next hears in his patch, be it dog, nigger, or Jem Finch (a character) (54). Now he must agree known it was Jem, or why would he have said his name? This shows that Mr. Radley didnt have any respect for blacks. Not sole(prenominal) were blacks referred to as niggers but, anyone associated with them, except for slave masters, were called, nigger lovers. An example of this is that a character named Atticus Finch is argue a black person named Tom Robinson in court. Because he is doing this, most people in town are calling him a nigger lover. Not only are the adults saying it, but their children are saying it too. Since Atticus is defending this man, he has also tried to been jumped many time also. But Atticus makes a very interesting point during the court case. The witnesses for the state have presented themselves to you gentlemen, to this court, in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted. confident that you gentlemen, would go along with them on one assumption, the evil assumption, that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are immoral beings, that all Negroes are not to be certain(p) around our women, an assumption that of one mind of their caliber.
