Prejudice
How is prejudice shown in To Kill a Mockingbird and The Help
> Blacks and Whites
- Segregation of black community in Maycomb "You ain't got not business bring in' white chillun here-they got their church, we got our'n. It is our church, ain't it, Miss cal?" Church person
- Maids in the help "I knew he wasn't married to Constantine's mother, because that was against the law"
- Tom Robinson against the White court"when it's a white man word against a black mans, the white man always wins"
> Class
- In TKAM lower class is assumed to be like Mr Ewell
Celia's past poverty and living in sugar ditch, born and raised poor "they don't like me because of what they think I did", "they don't like you 'cause they think you white trash"
The higher the class, the higher in the community "there's four kind of folks in the world. The ordinary kind like us and the neighbours... the Cunningams... the Ewells... and the negroes."
> What the community doesn't know a lot about- breaking the mould
- Scout dresses differently "
- skeeter doesn't have a partner "
- Atticus and skeeter stand up for black people "
