Atticus Finch Segregation

Rough Draft

Harper Lee wrote the novel To kill a Mockingbird where she explores the segregation during the early 1930´s where Atticus Finch is one of the main characters. Presented with a case of a colored man accused of rape in Maycomb, Alabama. At the time, segregation in the U.S was at its peak, with the newest case of Tom Robinson, that Atticus needs to defend. His kids, Scout and Jem are slowly adapting to the new reality of a white man protecting a colored case, provoking the town of Maycomb. Something similar from our world put in context would be, The Grio: A boy of color pulled out of school by parents, after harassments as: monkey and aggressive attacks about his color. The case touches the subject Tom Robinson and colored people

“With this in mind, i faced Cecil Jacobs in the schoolyard the next day: “you gonna take that back boy? “You got to tell me first! “My folks said your daddy was a disgrace, and that nigger outa hang from the water

Cecil Jacobs is only a child, but acts on the hatred of his parents. Not thinking or knowing what he is really doing to Scout. In the journal of discipline there is a setup for how scout is growing too slowly learn and grow in his mind and use of words. “Much of the credit scout’s moral discipline is owed to Atticus. He i loving, patient, and understanding father who guides his children to virtue while respecting them as individuals capable of judgement and decision. He teaches them compassion and tolerance, frequently advising scout to “step into the shoes” of others like Cecil Jacobs during the situation in the courtyard. Under this Literary Criticism we are being told that scout has learned to show tolerance and discipline, something scout’s doing in this scene. The way Harper Lee uses literature during the conflict in the courtyard reflects back to how literature is a human ability used to reach out, telling stories to other humans. By using the knowledge we possess it will helps see the big picture, more aspects of how literature can be used as confession, therapy or furthermore, entertainment.

The older white man, Bob Ewell has repeatedly been attacking Atticus verbally during the trial for protecting Tom Robinson. Accusing him for being a nigger lover and not true too his own color, helping the reader see the conflict of ethnicity
