TKAM Chapter 24 and 25
Choice C: So far, is this a novel about race? Class? Gender? Coming of Age? Place? Select and defend your answer.


Throughout To Kill A Mockingbird I think this book is about races and classes. The reason I say it is about race is because there is a lot of racism. Lots of white people in Maycomb think they are richer and way better then the Negroes.They always say,"We will go our way, and they will go their way.

In the Tom Robinson case there was a ton of racism because Mr.Ewell was yelling at Tom Robinson when he said he feels sorry for Mayella. This made Dill cry because he did not know that there was racism in Maycomb. Also, when the court case ended the reason Tom was guilty was because all the judges were white and Tom was black. After the court case ended Mr. Ewell spat at Atticus for protecting Tom. After that Bob Ewell said "I going to get you" to Atticus.
