To Kill A Mockingbird

“Are people’s actions as racially motivated as in the time of To Kill A Mockingbird?”

“Why or Why not?

If I understand this question correctly, I beleive that it means are people racist for the same reasons back then as they are today.  To me I think back in the time of To Kill A Mockingbird, it was a family matter as in my parents beleive this so I will.  Now in present times you have more of a open mindend world to where you have more outside opinons than just your families.  So basicly I am saying that in the world today you don’t hate just because your parents hate.  You hate now because of personal reasons or just because you are a loser.

“How are the ways that people are judged in To Kill A Mockingbird similar/diffrent than the ways people are judged today.”

I beleive their similiar, I think a majority of people judge on the inside.  I don’t think their as extreme as back in those times but I think it’s a factor in society.  If you dress like a certin group of people, then your automatically associated and thought of as a person of the certain group of people.

“How does “mob mentality” as seen in To Kill A Mockingbird affect the actions of people in today’s world?

If I understand what it means correctly, then I have to say it does effect some people in current times.  I think its a large group of just hate, kinda of like you hating because a large group of people hates.  I don’t think it’s as strong of a factor in todays society.

How are the injustices in the trial scenes of To Kill A Mockingbird mirrored in the Socttsboro Boys Trials of the 1930’s?

I think it’s strongly mirrored, both had strong racial tensions in the south.  The majority of the white people over wheighed anything that the defence offered so basicly the trial was over since their was a majority leaning one way.  It was a their way or the highway kind of deal.  So yes their very similar events.
