To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a book that reflected the American society in the 1930s . The book covered a lot of themes: justice, judgement, youth, family, femininity, bravery, race, morality and so on. Today I want to focus on race issues and judement in To Kill a Mockingbird.

If you had read this book, you must be  impressed by the Tom Robinson's case. To those who haven't read the book, Tom was accused as an Afican American rappist who rapped a white girl. A lawyer named Atticus defended Tom since he's innocent, but the jury still judged Tom guilty, sent him to jail and was finally killed. All because of Tom was black.

As products of their time, the whites thought they were better, they were wiser, and the blacks(niggers) were idiots and should be taken care of. They treated blacks unequally, even though they say that it's seperate but equal, meaning that the blacks are seperated with the whites, but their society level and places they lived were totally different. On the other hand, many blacks didn't care about their social status anymore, maybe it's because that they know that they couldn't do anything to change the fact, so most blacks are trying to fit into the society dominated by the whites.Whites who helped or understood the blacks were called nigger lovers or nigger loving bastards and a lot of whites thought that they betrayed them. During that time, it sure was hard for the blacks. As time moved on, in the past few years, the racial discrimination problem was slowly solving, expecially after the first African American president Barack Obama. Society is changing and people are gradually waking up by truth about ourselves. Racists are vanishing and blacks have been recongized by this world. Indeed, problems takes time to be solved, problems  like this takes decades, all we can do is to believe in that everyone is equal, no matter if you are black or white.
