TKAM Chapter #7

Choice C: So far, is this a novel about race? Class? Gender? Coming of Age? Place? Select and defend your answer:
So far i think that this novel is mostly about race and a little bit about coming of age. Almost all that people in this book are raciest. They didn't like how Atticus was defending a black person. When ever Atticus walked by someone or just if Jem or Scout talk to someone they would almost always call Atticus "nothing but a nigger that he's working for". The town didn't let black people go to there church or be there friend. During the trial we saw or read a lot of people being raciest. Atticus told all the people in the court that you could be raciest out side of court but in court everyone should be treated the same. Tom ended up being pleaded guilty, almost everyone was shocked. At the end of Atticus's speech all of the black people stud up to honor him.
Aunt Alexandra wants to be the mother figure in Scouts life, so she invites the neighborhood girls to come and eat with them. Aunt Alexandra wants Scout to learn how to act like a laddie because she's been with men her whole life. Scout tries her best to act like a laddie and she finds out things about the neighborhood on the way.
