To Kill A Mockingbird

Chapters 18-23
Choice c: So far, is this a novel about race? Class? Gender? Coming of Age? Place? Select and defend your answer.

So far I think that the book has been a mixture of race and class. I think that it has to do with class because all of the different class levels in Maycomb. The rich is the highest, middle class is second, the Cunninghams are next, the blacks are after, and the Ewells are on the bottom. This has alot to do with the community of maycomb and the book. Because aunt Alexandria is a Finch she thinks that she is the highest and richest family in all of Maycomb. She thinks that it is bad that Atticus is defending Tom Robinson she thinks it looks bad on the finch's name.

The reason that this book has to do with racisim is because in the town of Maycomb most of the white people hate the black people, just because they are black. A big reason for that is because they are in Alabama witch is in the south, and the south is was for racisim in the civil war. An example of racism in Maycomb is how the jury in the court were only going to let the Ewells win the case because Tom was black and the Ewells were white.
