Theme

The theme that I thought was most noticiable in the book is racism. Characters like Mrs. Dubose and Mr. Cunningham were both characters that really revealed this theme. For example, Mrs. Dubose called Atticus no better then the N-words he defended in court. And Mr. Cunningham was with the mob the one night at the jail trying to break out Tom Robinson and beat him down, just becuase he is black and blamed for a crime that there is no evedince he even commited.
Racism has occured many times throughout the novel so far.One time, racism was shown when Scout gets made fun of because a boy at school is calling her father an N-lover. I think the boy said this because he probably heard one of his parents say it about Atticus. Also Aunt Alexandra's son made fun of Scout for the same reason when the Finche's were at there house on Christmas. And Mrs. Dobuse said "Your father's no better than the N's and trash he works for." I think that she means Atticus has stooped down the social level of African Americans in Maycomb.
