  • Justice in To Kill a Mockingbird

    664 Words  | 2 Pages

    Aunt Alexandra is a woman almost immersed in her desire and need to fit in in Maycomb on the outside. Most of what she does revolves around what most people would do, including many of her opinions, as she constantly conforms to the opinions of the majority. This is obvious as she will not let Scout be anything but a lady, will not let her play with anyone too far underneath them socially such as the Cunninghams or Ewells, and especially will not express her opinions on her brother's case unless they agree with the opinions of the rest of Maycomb. However, even while she is focusing on being the lady the county would expect her to be, some of her opinions are just slightly different. While she is having a meeting with the neighbor ladies and the conversation takes a racist turn, Miss Maudie speaks up, making herself look bad and unladylike in front of the others, something that Alexandra would never do, but does not go unnoticed to her, as “she gave Miss Maudie a look of pure gratitude, and I wondered at the world of women.

    The play tells the story of how a little compassion and empathy can change a town. Also, it touches on notes of racial injustice, class division, gender roles, and loss of innocence. Throughout the course of the play, Scout can be seen to slowly lose her innocence as she begins to learn about racial injustice, crimes (rape), and life. She is also shown to break stereotypical gender roles by dressing as a tomboy and going by the name Scout instead of Jean Louise. Racial injustice is portrayed when Tom Robinson was deemed guilty for attacking and raping Mayella Ewell. The overall theme of compassion was shown throughout the play when the characters began to understand Boo Radley’s reason for staying inside and when Tom Robinson was wrongfully charged for a crime he did not commit. It was also emphasized at the end of the play when all the characters joined together one by one saying “stand in other people’s shoes to finally see them.” A person will never truly understand another until they take the time to see things from the other person’s point of

    Bullying has been around for decades and yet it is still a reoccurring problem, and it is only getting worse. The National Center for Educational Statistics, in 2009, said nearly 1 in 3 students between the ages of 12 and 18 reported being bullied in school. Eight years earlier, only 14 percent of that population said they had experienced bullying(Ollove,2014).
