Theme Of Overcoming In To Kill A Mockingbird

To Overcome
In the book book of the century To Kill A Mockingbird theirs 3 important themes.
This book is lost honor, growing up and overcoming, these all represent the book so very well. The Finch family loses honor because of the time they're in with the blacks and whites the racial time they're in over a decision that their father makes defending a so called “Nigger”. Growing up is a huge part, as you see these 2 children Scout and Jem Finch’s surrounding affecting the way they begin to think and the person they'll become. Overcoming in the book is one of the biggest things, scout and her brother Jem overcome some things they don't realize will bring an outcome to their life and or benefit, they come together to do things they must for

We see two kids we grow into the book to love become people we now see in disgust. We see Scout begin to use words like “Nigger” and begin to cuss thinking the people around her will get used to it, and our Jem begin to think he's too old to play with his younger sister or even to find disgust in the way the whites talk about the blacks the way they treat them mock them and act as if they were so low compared to the whites. In chapter 8 Scout wakes up one morning and it's snowing, and in maycomb that wasn't common so Scout wakes up screaming saying that the world is coming to an end until Atticus comes and lets scout know it's snow. As a child you see snow and want to play, so Jem and scout walk along and begin to collect snow to create a snowman. Since its not a common thing for it to snow they didn't have enough snow to create a snowman so they begin to collect dirt to complete it. Our character scout begins to realize that the snowman has a touch of color and says “Jem, i ain’t ever heard of a nigger snowman”(Lee, 89), now we wouldn't expect that from our 7 year old child. When there's kids living in a town where racism is a thing and everyone does it, we become to think it's okay. Thank God times have now changed but could you imagine going back in time knowing the things you do now seeing children and adults act this way? We look back now and see how stupid it was but if times were the same you'd end up to getting used to it, as the way we treat zoo animals. We lock them up to look at them for “amusement” but what if animals were like people to later in life we'd take them back to their natural habitat? No the animals wouldn't be mad about it and write books about it on how they were treated but that's how the whites treated not only the blacks but the colored, but this was what was happening the whites treated the colors like animals. To them it was completely normal and we see it with disgust, but many of us aren't affected
